In 'Monkey Business' (1952) a research scientist (Cary Grant) concocts an elixir of youth which is accidentally distributed around the office when a laboratory monkey tips it into the water cooler. The scientist reverts to a teenager, his wife (Ginger Rogers) to a child, and mayhem promptly ensues. Monroe makes an early appearance as a secretary. In 'Don't Bother to Knock' (1952) an unstable young woman (Monroe) attempts to commit suicide whilst working as a babysitter in a hotel. She is saved by a handsome airline pilot (Richard Widmark), who has just split up from the hotel's resident singer (Anne Bancroft, making her film debut). From this unlikely beginning, a relationship develops which helps them both come to terms with their personal problems. 'Niagara' (1953) has happy newlyweds Polly and Ray Cutler (Jean Peters and Casey Adams) arrive for their honeymoon at Niagara Falls and become involved in the lives of Rose and George Loomis (Monroe and Joseph Cotton), an ill-matched couple staying next-door. While sightseeing, the newlyweds see Rose kissing her young lover (Richard Allen) and hear them plot to kill her husband by making it look like suicide.

'There's No Business Like Show Business' (1954) follows the fortunes of two generations of a vaudevillian family.

'River of No Return' (1954) tells the story of a river journey made by a widower (Robert Mitchum), his son (Tommy Rettig) and a nightclub singer (Monroe) recently abandoned by her husband.
