Watch this movie and you'll know why Jean Peters is one of my all time favorite actresses. Forget Marilyn Monroe. Peters is the one I want to spend my honeymoon with. She's compassionate. When George cuts his hand while breaking the record he hates, the song "Kiss" that Rose puts on to annoy him, it is Peters who goes into the room to bandage him; Rose couldn't even be bothered. And when her husband is always eying Marilyn's sexy outfits, Peters puts up with his roaming eyes good naturedly. While all eyes were supposed to be on Marilyn in this movie, I couldn't keep mine off from Jean Peters, especially during the final sequence when she gets caught in the boat with Joseph Cotton as it careens down the Niagara River out of control and heading for the falls. There's plenty of action in this movie, all of it made more pleasant with the dashing looks of not just Marilyn Monroe, but Jean Peters at her best.
