...Mountain sheep and a sacred cow that eats flowers on cue. The film took 34 directors 160 days to make on 112 locations and 140 sets in 13 countries. And the wardrobe department alone spent $410.000 to provide 74,685 costumes and 36,092 trinkets, while Todd's makeup men claim to have glued 15,612 beards-including a number of magnificent Dundrearies-presumably to the same number of chins...

"We thank the government," said one in a singsong...
Except for these mild missteps, Bus Stop is neatly paced and satisfying. Actress Monroe, robbed of her usual glamour by bleached makeup and unmoistened lips, still generates enough sex to console the nation's Venus-worshipers, and her comedy turns stand up well against the broad playing of Don Murray and the smooth professionalism of Betty Field and Eileen Heckart...
