Once these two meet though, Cherie has no choice in the matter(or does she? ), and is literally swept off her feet by Bo.She finds herself on a bus sprint that may change her life. Can the naive rancher and and the saloon singer with a past come by treasure? Collect out in this very touching sage.

Marilyn Monroe will purchase your heart(once again) as Cherie. She shines in this role of a more dramatic nature.She treats us to “That Aged Shadowy Magic”, and although, Cherie’s talent as a songstress is not going to rep her any awards, it doesn’t matter. Like Bo, we are unprejudiced dazzled by what we gaze!

Don Murray is introduced as Bo. He’s absolutely astounding as the innocent cowboy. Directed by Joshua Logan, it also stars such greats as Arthur O’connell, Eileen Heckart, Betty Field, and gawk for a very young Hope Lange. The are some charming musical numbers as well.

This film from 1956,has been restored and looks improbable. It is presented in anamorphic widescreen(1.85:1) with astounding color and a beautifully distinct report. The sound may be listented to in 4.0 Surround or stereo, and is terriffic as well. It may be viewed in French(mono) and has Spanish and English subtitles. There’s a theatrical trailer, some stills, and a astronomical demonstration of how the restoration compares with previous transfers. If you can’t obtain enough of Marilyn, you may want to reflect buying this in the “Diamond Collection” place. Besides this one, it includes, “How To Marry A Millionaire”, Gentlemen Buy Blondes”, “There’s No Business Like Explain Business”,”The Seven Year Itch” and a expansive documentary about Marilyn’s last months “The Final Days”. All of these DVDs are obliging as well.

“Bus Cessation” is dramatic, humorous and poignant. It will leave you with a smile on your face for some time afterwards.

Spend some time with Marilyn….and indulge in…Laurie

Marilyn Monroe was nominated for the Golden Globe award for Best Actress for this 1956 film adaptation of William Inge’s play. As Cherie, she is handsome and plays a character from some microscopic town in Arkansas where guys started pursuing her when she was 14. From a perspective 50 years later, some of the acting seems a bit over the top, but it played well in its day.

Don Murray plays the ranch hand Bo who wants to force Cherie to marry him. Murray earned his only Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1956 for the role. Today, his style seems too racy to be believable. However, he certainly performs with gusto.

The supporting cast is also agreeable. Robert Bray who was in “The Caine Mutiny” plays Carl the bus driver who gives Bo a licking. Arthur O’Connell who had two Oscar nominations for “Picnic” in 1955 & “Anatomy of a Assassinate” in 1959 does a sterling job as Virgil, Bo’s buddy that tries to counsel him. Betty Field plays Grace, the cafe owner with a strut out of “Annie Pick Up Your Gun.” She has appeared in “Picnic,” “The Big Gatsby,” & “King’s Row.” Eileen Heckert with her deep grunt plays Cherie’s friend Vera. Heckert was nominated for the supporting Oscar for “The Unpleasant Seed” in 1956 and won in 1972 for “Butterflies Are Free.” She does an top-notch job of grounding the film with a sense of reality. Hope Lange puts in a brief appearance as Elma Duckworth who works at the diner. She’s fair in a dinky role. The following year, she would earn a Best Supporting Actress nomination for “Peyton State” and go on to accumulate hearts in the 1960s in TV’s “The Ghost & Mrs. Muir.”

“Bus Discontinuance” seems a bit dated now 50+ years later. However, it is well worth viewing to survey Marilyn Monroe and the profitable supporting cast. Bask In!
