This American psychological film noir was directed by Roy Ward Baker. The cast includes Richard Widmark and Marilyn Monroe. Widmark plays airline pilot Jed Towers who, whilst staying at a hotel in New York, where his girlfriend Lyn Lesley (Anne Bancroft) is a singer, gets pally with Nell Forbes (Marilyn Monroe), who is babysitting a young girl at the same hotel. Nell's strange behaviour eventually makes him aware that she is not really the kind of person that should be entrusted to take care of anyone.
