Marilyn Monroe reveals the anxious undercurrents roiling beneath her bombshell image in this edgy psychological thriller, one of her most intense and effective dramatic showcases. When airline pilot Jed Towers (Richard Widmark) encounters the beautiful Nell Forbes (Monroe) in a New York hotel, he is immediately intrigued. Nell passes herself off as a wealthy jet-setter, but Jed senses something is amiss—and that the woman who’s invited him over to her room may be dangerous.
