Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring filming of the shower scene, director Henry Hathaway had to keep yelling at Monroe to keep away from the shower curtain and away from the lights as she insisted on being naked (as she was under the bed sheets at the beginning of the film). To pass the censors of the time, the scene was darkened in post-production.
- GoofsWhile energetically explaining the local layout to Ray and Polly Cutler, Mr. Kettering describes Chippawa, Ontario as the scene of a major American defeat in the Revolutionary War. However, U.S. forces in the Revolutionary War got no closer than 75 miles from the area. In fact, Chippawa was the scene of a major American victory in the War of 1812.
- Quotes
[Upon seeing Rose Loomis in a low-cut, tight-fitting red dress]
Ray Cutler: Hey, get out the firehose!
[to Polly]
Ray Cutler: Why don't you ever get a dress like that?
Polly Cutler: Listen. For a dress like that, you've got to start laying plans when you're about thirteen.

Featured review
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.
