Synopsis – What to Expect from “Don’t Bother to Knock”
Don’t Bother to Knock is a 1952 American psychological thriller film directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Richard Widmark, Marilyn Monroe, and Anne Bancroft.
The film follows Jed Towers (Widmark), a psychologically disturbed war veteran who takes a job as a night watchman at an old hotel. There he meets Nell (Monroe), a young woman who is staying with her aunt while waiting for her fiancé to return from the war. Nell is a troubled soul, and when Jed discovers that she is planning to kidnap a baby, he is determined to save her from herself.
Jed and Nell develop a strong bond, and Jed is determined to help her. He takes her to a psychiatrist, Dr. Fielding (Bancroft), in an effort to get her the help she needs. But when Nell’s fiancé returns, Jed realizes that he has to let her go.
The film follows Jed and Nell’s struggle to come to terms with their feelings for each other, and the psychological consequences of Jed’s involvement in Nell’s life. In the end, Jed and Nell must make the difficult decision of whether to stay together or to go their separate ways.
