Niagara

On a journey to the Niagara Falls, the seductive Rose Loomis (Marilyn Monroe) plots to kill her husband (Joseph Cotton). As the two wrestle with their conflicts and secrets, another visiting couple begin to suspect something sinister is about to happen. The majestic waterfalls play silent witnesses to the imminent crime in this unusual example of Technicolor noir. A box-office success that consolidated Monroe’s star status, Niagara features an iconic scene: a long shot of the actress walking down the street, her back to the camera — a tense and sexual moment in the narrative that was particularly daring for the time.
