Saturday, July 21 – 2:00 PM
60th Anniversary! DON’T BOTHER TO KNOCK, 1952, 20th Century Fox, 76 min. Dir. Roy Ward Baker. Marilyn Monroe has perhaps her finest dramatic role in this "one night in the big city" drama. A lovelorn airline pilot (Richard Widmark) hopes to reunite with his chanteuse girlfriend (Anne Bancroft) at a Manhattan hotel. Once jilted, he blithely decides to rebound with a comely babysitter (Monroe) working in the hotel. Uh oh, this babysitter is buggy - not surprising, given that her uncle is played by Elisha Cook Jr.! Author Christopher Nickens will sign copies of his book Marilyn in Fashion: The Enduring Influence of Marilyn Monroe at 1:00 PM in the Egyptian lobby and introduce the screening. [35mm]
