Synopsis
Love can't be forced, no matter how hard you pull on the reins - it has to be earned. Joshua Logan's "Bus Stop," adapted from William Inge's Broadway play, stars Don Murray in his Oscar-nominated role as Beauregard "Bo" Decker, a brash, naive young cowboy from Montana who comes to Phoenix for the rodeo. There he falls head over boots for Cherie (Marilyn Monroe), a saloon singer with Hollywood dreams. Bo won't take no for an answer, and he literally lassoes her onto a bus bound for his Montana ranch, where he plans to marry her. When a snowstorm strands the passengers at a roadside diner, Cherie tries to escape, and Bo's longtime friend and mentor, Virgil (Arthur O'Connell), decides it's time the young cowboy learned some manners. Monroe's heartfelt "That Old Black Magic" is a highlight.
