Bus Riley's Back in Town is a 1965 American comedy film written by William Inge, directed by Harvey Hart, and starring Ann-Margret and Michael Parks.

Although Ann-Margret was the film's best-known cast member, trailers for Bus Riley heavily promoted Parks as Hollywood's next big star.

After three years in the Navy, Bus Riley returns to his hometown, moves back in with his mother and sisters, and begins trying to make a life for himself.

Riley is a highly skilled mechanic, but resists suggestions that he work for the local garage and attend college at night, as he aspires to a career he considers more respectable and prestigious.

To compound his unhappiness, Riley learns that his beautiful but shallow girlfriend Laurel has married a wealthy older man in his absence.

Judy, a family friend, loses her mother and her home in a fire, leading to a romance with Riley that gives him hope for the future.
