Dont Bother To Knock was Marilyn Monroes first leading dramatic role and revealed much of her acting promise before she trained intensively with Lee Strasberg, widely regarded as the founder of so-called “method acting“. Monroe is best known for her captivating presence and comedic timing, demonstrated by legendary performances in projects like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like It Hot. However, she is less appreciated for her dramatic acting abilities, having been typecast in more rom-coms and musicals.
