Rating: 5/10 --
Boorish comedy mingling incompetently with underfed character drama.

Antagony & Ecstasy
A dramatic departure for Marilyn Monroe, who broadens her acting chops in the role of singer Cherrie.

Rating: B- --
Though Don Murray is the only actor to get an Oscar nod, the main reason to see Joshua Logan's serio comedy, based on Inge's play, is Marilyn Monroe, who shines as the country girl with big Hollywood aspirations.

Rating: B- --
The Broadway based movie reduces romance to a physical attraction and of never saying I'm sorry for being a male predator.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
BUS STOP's down-on-her-luck wannabe [embodies] the sizzle and sadness that underpinned her bombshell persona.
Total Film
Bus Stop is heavy with the corn syrup and plays today as a relic from a less-evolved epoch, but it works, largely because of Monroe.

I suspect that some viewers will either like the film because of Monroe's performance, or hate it because of Murray's.
