Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMarilyn Monroe, who had seen and loved Kim Stanley's performance in the Broadway production of "Bus Stop", patterned her accent on Stanley's, as well as those accents she had heard during her own time in the South. Monroe worked diligently on the hillbilly twang, speaking quite differently than in her other movies, and subverted her natural singing talent to make it painfully clear that Chérie was not gifted in that department.
- GoofsAlthough several sequences were indeed filmed in Phoenix, Arizona, involving a 1956 rodeo and rodeo parade, non-rodeo scenes supposedly depicting downtown Phoenix and Cherie's boardinghouse were clearly shot elsewhere; no major thoroughfare in Phoenix has hilly terrain or Victorian-style buildings seen in film.

Sung in the opening credits off-screen by The Four Lads
Also partially sung by a guitar-playing Arthur O'Connell (uncredited) and the bus passengers
Featured review
If you like young men with the social skills of a five year old, and young women with low self esteem, watch this film. The only relief is when the bus driver beats the cowboy up to stop him from pestering the poor young woman any further.
There are some comic moments in the film, but it's too frustrating watching Monroe's character treated like an animal. This is not the mood of the 1990s.
If you want to enjoy Marilyn Monroe, watch "Some Like It Hot". At least her character in that film has self-respect, even if she's no more than a likeable bimbo.
