March 20, 2011Marilyn Monroe is the luscious femme fatale in this film noir travelogue shot on the US/Canadian border. Mother Nature provides the breathtaking backdrop for this dark honeymoon romp of deceit, deception and murder.

December 24, 2010"Too bad. They can't play it for you now, Rose."
Niagra failed to get me very interested from the very start, so you might as well know now that this won't be a very enthusiastic review. I sort of drifted through most of it, only paying attention enough to know what was going on... read more -
December 11, 2010The seductive and transparent Marilyn Monroe stumbles upon a role with a long shelf life, as the manipulative and vain Mrs. Loomis. Her husband, crazed, or long been used by his formidable wife, is the perfect mesh of a grotesque shell of a man, and the sympathetic murderer. The ... read more

November 7, 2010A good thriller with Monroe, taking place around Niagara falls. Good story, I liked it.

June 28, 2010It's average at the very best, the only reason it's memorable is because of Marilyn Monroe who seemed to be the only one truly putting forth an effort. She is the definition of a femme fatale. However, this turns into another Hitchcock rip-off without half the intelligence. Josep... read more

April 9, 2007Fairly run of the mill pseudo noir filmed in rather garish technicolor, memorable for being Marilyn Monroe's first starring role, and she does shine as the femme fatale.

January 3, 2011"Listen, for a dress like that, you gotta start laying plans when you're about 13."
For those who have heard the legend that when Marilyn Monroe is on screen, you can't take your eyes off of her and don't believe it, this is your starter movie. It's an oxymoron in the sense that ... read more

Watchable, but otherwise unremarkable.

Eric Lurio, Greenwich Village Gazette
So Marilyn can act. Who knew?

Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
One of Marilyn's best, a tawdry Fox melodrama.
January 20, 2003
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Apesar das boas atuações de Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters e da presença marcante de Marilyn Monroe, o filme naufraga graças a um roteiro medíocre e à direção burocrática de Hathaway.

The parts without [Monroe's] luminous presence onscreen are noticeably less interesting than those parts where she was involved. Full Review
