Bus Stop (1956) Review

This review refers to the 20th Century Fox(Diamond Collection)DVD edition of "Bus Stop"
Bo can hog tie a calf, and ride a bronco better and faster than anyone around. But he is naive in the ways of the world. When he takes his first bus trip to the city to dazzle em at a rodeo, he's in for the ride of his life. His mentor Virge, tells him it's time he found a gal of his own. Bo likes this idea, but he doesn't want any ol' gal, it's got to be an angel. He'll know her when he sees her! And what's more he'll simply rope her and haul her back with him. Well, things get complicated for this simple guy, when he spots his angel. She is Cherie. A "Chanteuse" with plans of her own. Cherie has direction in her life. The direction being from "River Gulch" to "Hollywood", where she will have "options". She is trying desperatly to shed her "hillbilly" image. A Montana cattle ranch was not part of the plan. 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 ride that may change her life. Can the naive rancher and and the saloon singer with a past find love? Find out in this very touching story.
Marilyn Monroe will capture your heart(once again) as Cherie. She shines in this role of a more dramatic nature.She treats us to "That Old Black Magic", and although, Cherie's talent as a songstress is not going to win her any awards, it doesn't matter. Like Bo, we are just dazzled by what we see!
Don Murray is introduced as Bo. He's absolutely wonderful as the innocent cowboy. Directed by Joshua Logan, it also stars such greats as Arthur O'connell, Eileen Heckart, Betty Field, and look for a very young Hope Lange. The are some charming musical numbers as well.
This film from 1956,has been restored and looks fabulous. It is presented in anamorphic widescreen(1.85:1) with wonderful color and a beautifully clear picture. 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 great demonstration of how the restoration compares with previous transfers. If you can't get enough of Marilyn, you may want to consider buying this in the "Diamond Collection" set. Besides this one, it includes, "How To Marry A Millionaire", Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "There's No Business Like Show Business","The Seven Year Itch" and a great documentary about Marilyn's last months "The Final Days". All of these DVDs are excellent as well.
"Bus Stop" is dramatic, funny and poignant. It will leave you with a smile on your face for some time afterwards.
Spend some time with Marilyn....and enjoy...Laurie
