However, I am not the only one who thinks this about Murray in this film. However, I assume the film had a director (though it's not obvious) and someone had to write this drivel. Murray, of course, can be blamed for much of this. No young man can be THAT naive when it comes to women or when it comes to leaving their home-and that would even include Mowgli from THE JUNGLE BOOK! His performance (if you want to call it that) is more akin to having Jethro Bodine play the role!! It was that ridiculously overplayed and unsubtle. However, his overacting not only overshadowed Miss Monroe's shortcomings in her role, but really grated on my nerves. The biggest fault with the movie isn't Marilyn's overly broad performance but Don Murray's. However, despite some decent reviews, the film was a terrible mess due to a poor script and one performance in particular. After all, by 1956, Marilyn Monroe was a bona fide star, having appeared in such blockbusters as GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH, RIVER OF NO RETURN and HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE, so you would have expected 20th Century Fox to pull out all the stops with BUS STOP.
