Don't bother to knock (M10)

The not so grand hotel. A hotel in New York, not so long after WWII, Richard Widmark, a pilot, in love with Anne Bancroft, a lounge singer, finds that Anne doesn't want him anymore, because he's too uncaring. He goes up to his room and across the way sees Marilyn Monroe, who is babysitting a little girl. He calls her up and she invites him over. When he arrives he finds out that she's wacko, with scars on her wrists, three years in a loony bin, still in love with a pilot who died over Hawaii in 46. When Richard reveals that he's a pilot, she assumes that he's her long lost boyfriend and her wackiness goes into overtime. Her uncle, Elisha Cooke Jr. the elevator jockey, got her the babysitting gig. He comes up and interrupts Richard and Marilyn. Marilyn is peeved at the eight year old girl, who keeps getting between her and Richard Widmark. The mother and Richard Widmark arrive in time to stop Marilyn from throwing the little girl out the window. Anne Bancroft is impressed that Richard Widmark is no longer uncaring and so they will love each other instead of breaking up and the New York mental hospital will be more caring to Marilyn than the mental hospital back in Oregon.
