Marilyn Monroe in Publicity Photos for “Bus Stop” Taken by Milton Greene in 1956

Bus Stop is a 1956 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Joshua Logan for 20th Century Fox, starring Marilyn Monroe, Don Murray, Arthur O’Connell, Betty Field, Eileen Heckart, Robert Bray, and Hope Lange.

Unlike most of Monroe’s films, Bus Stop is neither a full-fledged comedy nor a musical, but rather a dramatic piece; it was the first film she appeared in after studying at the Actors Studio in New York. Monroe does, however, sing one song: “That Old Black Magic” by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer.

Bus Stop is based on the 1955 play of the same name (which in turn was expanded from an earlier, one-act play titled People in the Wind) by William Inge. The inspiration for the play came from people Inge met in Tonganoxie, Kansas.

Milton Greene took many photos of Marilyn Monroe on the set of Bus Stop in the 1956. And these 26 stunning photos below were some of publicity ones for this movie.
