Alicia I love this movie so much

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

padawanmovies (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)I happened upon this film last week on the FX Movie channel. I must say I really enjoyed it; typically I flip through my menu looking for classic movies that either have an interesting plot or an actor I'm familiar with. I LOVE LOVE classic movies and like I said I'm a fan. It's a pretty simple premise; really liked the idea of an unstable babysitter losing it during her watchful duties. Although I wanted to slap the nosy couple, I liked the handful of characters. I just wished Nell was a little more CRAZY but that's just me nit picking bc it was a subtle sort of movie. Decent way to wind down ones' day

rodrig58 Whoever dares to say or write again that Marilyn Monroe was just a dumb blonde, will have to deal with me. This movie was made when I was minus 6 years old and I saw it now, in August 2017, for the first time. I saw it, it's a kind of say. In fact, I lived with her all the film, with the beautiful, young and talented Marilyn Monroe. And not only just with her. I sipped her with my eyes also the very young, equally very talented and beautiful, Anne Bancroft. In fact, I tracked both of them with my mind and my soul. Both are exceptional, especially Marilyn, who makes a big role as a mad woman with suicidal tendencies, which is not easy. Great actress! Delicious woman! Richard Widmark is also very good. All the others, Elisha Cook Jr., the little girl Donna Corcoran, Verna Felton, are all authentic and convincing. A film with a simple, excellent and well-written story. Great directing by Roy Baker, who started his career as a tea boy at the Gainsborough Studios in London. Check on him, the man is a real legend!

Gavin O. "Don't Bother To Knock" was decently entertaining, if somewhat short. The fact that it's entirely set in one location doesn't help it any - more than halfway through the movie I began to wonder when it'd leave the hotel, but to my surprise (and dismay) it never did. I suppose it turned out to be a very different movie than I was led to believe it was (but that's more the fault of whoever wrote the description for it on Netflix than of the movie itself). I thought it was interesting how Nell's mental illness was portrayed. In some scenes she's detached from reality, in others she borders on deranged (such as when she almost pushes the kid out the window), but in the end she's seen as tragic. I don't know if this is the first film to portray mental illness in such a light, but I'd imagine it's among the first to portray the mentally ill as more than just "crazy."

AaronCapenBanner Roy Ward Baker directed this psychological thriller that stars Richard Widmark as Airline pilot Jed Towers, who is staying at the hotel of his girlfriend Lyn(played by Anne Bancroft) who works as a singer in its lounge. Bored, he notices the beautiful Nell Forbes(played by Marilyn Monroe) who is a live-in babysitter for hotel guests. Unfortunately, she is mentally unstable, and neglects her current assignment with a young girl named Bunny to pursue Jed, whom she is convinced is her deceased fiancée alive again... Good cast and direction, but film isn't particularly suspenseful or compelling, and doesn't amount to much; mostly for fans of Monroe.
