Interesting facts
The Sitter is a 1991 television film directed by Rick Berger and starring Kim Myers as Nell, an unstable babysitter, who lives in the reality of romance novels. It is a remake of the 1952 Marilyn Monroe film Don't Bother to Knock, which in turn was based on the Charlotte Armstrong novel Mischief.
Background
Berger said he took more inspiration from Armstrong's book than its 1952 film adaptation: "I took what I liked about the book and did a lot of extrapolation," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. He discouraged the cast from taking cues from the movie.
