Short description
Cowboys Beauregard Decker and Virgil Blessing attend a rodeo in Phoenix, where Decker falls in love with beautiful cafe singer Cherie. He wants to take Cherie back to his native Montana and marry her, but she dreams of traveling to Hollywood and becoming famous. When she resists his advances, Decker forces Cherie onto the bus back to Montana with him, but, when the bus makes an unscheduled stop due to bad weather, the tables are turned.
What's left behind the scenes
- The screenplay for "Bus Stop" was based on the eponymous play that was popular on Broadway in the 1950s. The production was shown on stage a total of 478 times, and in 1956 it was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play.
- The original play "Bus Stop" was written by George Axelrod, and it's interesting to note that this wasn't the writer's first work to be adapted into a film starring Marilyn Monroe. In 1955, "The Seven Year Itch," also based on an Axelrod play of the same name, was released with Monroe in the lead role.
- The role of Bo Decker was intended for Fess Parker, but the actor was under contract with Walt Disney Studios and was unable to participate in the filming.
- The film "Bus Stop" marked the feature film debut of actress Hope Lange, who would later be nominated for an Academy Award for her role in "Peyton Place" (1957).
- Filming of "Bus Stop" took place from February to May 1956.
