Comment/Synopsis

Marilyn Monroe is a nightclub singer who meets an innocent but loud and obnoxious cowboy in for the rodeo. He decides to to marry her but she is does not want to marry him and so he kidnaps her. This has a ridiculous plot and Don Murray plays one of the most obnoxious characters on film. Marilyn Monroe's performance is fine but is overshadowed by the problems with the plot and the some of the other characters.
