One Of Marilyn Monroe's Better Pictures
Like - WOW!!... Marilyn Monroe has never looked hotter than she does in Niagara. Man, Monroe just sizzles in this flick, especially in her hot-pink dress.This 1953 Thriller offers great fun for the viewer on a variety of levels.
(1) Film Noir themes abound (albeit in Technicolor).
(2) Oodles of location shooting around Niagara Falls.
(3) And, best of all, Freudian Symbolism runs amok.
Monroe plays Rose Loomis, an unbelievably ripe femme fatale.
Niagara's twisted tale of greed and infidelity has the tantalizing Rose devilishly plotting (with her handsome toy-boy) the murder of her emotionally unstable husband, George. And, what better way to do him in, then a quick, hard push over, into the roaring Falls.
Adding to Niagara's thrills - Director Henry Hathaway does an excellent job of squeezing the most out of the spectacular scenery around Niagara Falls.
If you're a Marilyn Monroe fan, then you're sure to enjoy this seductively wicked flick.
score 6/10
