Otto Preminger’s stylish film noir pits Jean Simmons and Robert Mitchum against each other – with Mitchum as the would-be garage owner who can’t escape the powerful orbit of Simmons’s beautiful schemer.

BUS STOP (1956) U 10.45PM, TALKING PICTURES TV

★★★★

This was Marilyn Monroe’s (left) first film after taking time out to study her craft with Lee Strasberg, and her role won over even her harshest critics. Don Murray is the cowboy who finds her irresistible – who could blame him?
