Trailer Park: Don't Bother to Knock (based on a Charlotte Armstrong novel)

In 1952, Don't Bother to Knock hit theaters, starring Marilyn Monroe, Richard Widmark and Anne Bancroft. It was based on the novel Mischief by Charlotte Armstrong. It was Bancroft's first film, and Monroe's 18th--she wanted to prove to her critics that she could act.

Here's a brief synopsis, from Wikipedia: 

Monroe is featured as a disturbed babysitter watching a child at the same New York hotel where a pilot, played by Widmark, is staying. Her strange behavior makes him increasingly aware that she is the last person the parents should have entrusted with their daughter.
