The screenplay was written by Daniel Taradash, based on the 1951 novel Mischief by Charlotte Armstrong.
In the picture, Monroe plays a blinder as a disturbed babysitter watching a child at the same New York hotel where a pilot, played by Widmark, is staying.
He starts flirting with her, but over the evening her strange behaviour makes him increasingly aware that she is most mentally disturbed indeed.
Marilyn Monroe's better known for any number of reasons, but often these reasons are not acting. Here she plays Rose Loomis, she’s got scars on her wrists, a past as murky as the Hudson River, and a penchant for trouble. Rose is the niece of the hotel’s elevator man, a guy who knows more about the guests than the bellhops know about their tips.
