Though professionally speaking, Julie Kirgo notes in another of her well-researched Twilight Time essays, that he did make Monroe test for the part, a lesson that one wonders if he forgot when it came to Bella Darvi.<\/p>\n<p><em>Knock <\/em>was one five movies that marked Monroe\u2019s 1952 output \u2014 along with two Fox comedies, a cameo in the opening segment of the studio\u2019s all-star anthology <em>O. Henry\u2019s Full House<\/em> and a loan-out to RKO for <em>Clash by Night<\/em>. Though the last was a drama, she didn\u2019t have to carry large chunks of it, but in <em>Knock<\/em>, she has to bring off a case of frightening bonker-dom brought on by her lover\u2019s death \u2014 an emotional condition that ends up threatening a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a somnambulant performance somewhere between effective and one she gets away with \u2014 though some will tell you that I\u2019m underrating it, and possibly so. Call Monroe\u2019s approach a second cousin, say, to Kim Novak\u2019s deadpanned dialogue deliveries in <em>Vertigo<\/em>, though the passage of time has pretty well rendered Novak\u2019s turn a complete success, no matter how she and Alfred Hitchcock got there. Monroe, of course, just got better as she aged, which more people should have told her at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The surprise for me here (or at least something I\u2019d forgotten) is how sympathetic lead Richard Widmark\u2019s characterization is \u2014 as an edgy guy not exactly imaginable as, say, some neighbor\u2019s backyard-barbecue invitee but one who ends up being sincerely moved by Monroe\u2019s plight. This unlikely duo gets thrown together because her elevator-operator uncle (Elisha Cook Jr., getting a little extra something out of his role) has ill-advisedly elected to set her up as a one-shot babysitter in the hotel that employs him, not long after she\u2019s been released (too soon) from an institution. After squabbling with his hotel chanteuse squeeze (Anne Bancroft in her feature debut, a component that\u2019s not without interest itself) over his lack of commitment, Widmark sees Monroe through an adjacent hotel window and thinks her might get lucky with her as a one-night companion.<\/p>\n<p>Well, she <em>does<\/em> have a bottle of booze plus some glasses in the room \u2014 but also a younger girl (Donna Corcoron, real-life sister of Kevin \u201cMoochie\u201d Corcoron and Noreen Corcoron of <em>Bachelor Father<\/em>), who is probably going to be traumatized by what happens or at least have some good material later in life if she ever decides to become a short-story author. The kid\u2019s parents (Lurene Tuttle and Jim Backus in a tux) are no further away than downstairs for dad to get some kind of award involving his newspaper career, but the evening didn\u2019t exhaust Tuttle\u2019s in-room perfume supply, which means there\u2019s some for Monroe to apply (so much of it that Widmark immediately notices). Alcohol, perfume \u2026 say, what else can Monroe make hers? Well, there\u2019s always Tuttle\u2019s negligee to put on for much of the movie\u2019s running time \u2014 and with its owner just a few floors away, and you just know that no good is come of this. No one ever talks about this, but I think one of the most compelling angles of this story is poor Uncle Elisa learning that no good deed goes unpunished. You have to believe that this longtime employee with the corny jokes (he says his job has \u201cits ups and downs\u201d) is going to get canned after what eventually happens and that his resum\u00e9 won\u2019t have a very satisfactory answer to the question: \u201cReason for leaving last job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox was obviously trying to figure out what to do with Bancroft: She\u2019s a singer here, then did a commercially DOA Sol Hurok biopic (<em>Tonight We Sing<\/em>), and then there was <em>Gorilla at Large<\/em>, whose lunacy was possibly a good warm-up for enjoying a happy real-life marriage with Mel Brooks. Despite her presence and that of a lot of welcomely familiar faces, this is Widmark, Monroe and Cook all the way.<\/p>\n<p>Yet let it be said that the faces include the ever ubiquitous Willis Bouchey, who must have fought it out with rank Ferguson and Ray Teal for the \u201chardest-working white man in show business\u201d; <em>December Bride<\/em>\u2019s Verna Felton as an ancient biddie \u2014 and one who shares a frame with Monroe for contrasting views of womanhood; Joan Blondell\u2019s real-life sister Gloria, who played \u201cHoneybee\u201d on TV\u2019s <em>The Life of Riley<\/em>; and even the actor who played the police pathologist on the first go-round of \u201cDragnet\u201d and eyeballed the gradations on the bullets dug out of the human versions of Joe Friday\u2019s workday.<\/p>\n<p>So as Kirgo notes, the result is \u201cunexceptional if always entertaining.\u201d Future Peckinpah right hand Lucian Ballard shot it (no Verna Felton in those collaborations), and the director was Roy Baker (aka Roy Ward Baker), whose later bragging rights over <em>The One That Got Away<\/em>, <em>A Night to Remember<\/em> and <em>Quatermass and the Pit<\/em> just by themselves made him more than a journeyman. And for a movie that\u2019s relatively obscure, I\u2019ve run into not a few people who harbor kind of toasty feelings for it and its sympathetic treatment of mental illness (and, of course, Monroe\u2019s mother spent a lot of time I institutions).<\/p>\n<p>This said, the reviews at the time were only fair, and in the capital city that would soon be my home turf, one of the downtown movie palaces bolstered the bill (or tried to) by adding <em>Models, Inc.<\/em>, with Howard Duff (he\u2019s back), Coleen Gray and \u2014 deep down in the cast \u2014 Joe E. Ross (<em>hey<\/em>, I think I\u2019d like to see this). To bolster the Blu-ray, Twilight Time has also included the Richard Widmark \u201cBiography\u201d episode that they\u2019ve issued before and another from that same Fox-associated TV series, this time devoted to Monroe. It gets into the actress\u2019s marriages and, of course, her once famous battles with her home studio \u2014 though there\u2019s not even a still photo from MGM\u2019s <em>The Asphalt Jungle<\/em> to mark how important John Huston\u2019s best movie was to the breakthrough part of her career.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaplaynews.com\/mikes-picks-2018-april-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike&#8217;s Picks: &#8216;While the City Sleeps&#8217; and &#8216;Don\u2019t Bother to Knock&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLU-RAY REVIEW:\u00a0 Available via ScreenArchives.com; Twilight Time; Drama; $29.95 Blu-ray; Not rated.
