Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Don't Bother to Knock is a 1952 American Film Noir thriller directed by British director Roy Ward Baker. Daniel Taradash adapted the screenplay from the novel Mischief by Charlotte Armstrong.The film takes place in a busy New York City hotel. In the hotel's bar/club, singer Lyn Lesley (Anne Bancroft) tries to keep the show going. She's just written a letter to her airline pilot lover Jed Towers (Richard Widmark) breaking things off, realizing that he's not the man she wants to be with. The breakup upsets him, although it mostly seems to be a matter of hurt pride, as he talks of "love" dismissively.Elsewhere in the same hotel, enterprising doorman Eddie Forbes (Elisha Cook Jr.) is showing around his niece Nell (Marilyn Monroe), a shy girl from Oregon. He introduces her to Peter and Ruth Jones (Jim Backus and Lurene Tuttle), who need a babysitter for the night for their daughter Bunny (Donna Corcoran) as they attend a press convention. Eddie hopes that he and Nell can make a regular business of her services, but she shows troubling signs of mental instability.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Things really start percolating when Jed, rejected by Lyn, sees Nell in the window across the courtyard, swanning about in Mrs. Jones's kimono. Could this be an easy and fun way to forget his troubles for the night?No. No, it could not. | |

Babysitter from Hell | |

Babysitter from Hell: Nell may be the supreme example. She seems all right at first, but as the night wears on she menaces Bunny, neglects her when she cries, and at one point at least toys with the idea of pushing her out the window. By the end she’s tied the kid up. | |
