     Niagara
1953  NR  DRAMA  1h 28min
CAST— Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotton, Jean Peters, Casey Adams, Don Wilson, Richard Allan
MUSIC— Sol Kaplan  DIRECTOR— Henry Hathaway

     The beautiful scenery of Niagara Falls provides a backdrop for this suspense yarn starring Marilyn Monroe as a scheming adulteress married to brooding Joseph Cotton. A vacationing couple becomes nodding acquaintances with Monroe and Cotton but is soon drawn too close for comfort into their little world. Monroe plans for her boyfriend to kill Cotton, things backfire, Cotton evades death and now comes seeking revenge. All the while the vacationers are repeatedly drawn into the lives of these strangers that should keep to themselves, frankly. A tense finale caps off this Hitchcock-esqe thriller; if nothing else the film provides a nice scenic tour of the Falls.
OUR RATING— ** ½
