Tired Old Queen at the Movies: 'Niagara' (1953)

This week, Steve Hayes reviews Marilyn Monroe's film noir classic, "Niagara," from 1953. The Tired Old Queen says:

In "Niagara," veteran action director Henry Hathaway creates a riveting tale of suspense set against the turbulent background of the great falls. Starring a sensational Marilyn Monroe as a duplicitous blonde eager for murder, Joseph Cotton as her mentally unstable husband and would-be target and Jean Peters, as the unwitting accomplice, who starts out having a second honeymoon and stumbles upon a murder plot. Shot on location in Technicolor, Marilyn displays unknown depths as a woman who uses all her wiles to get what she wants, regardless of the consequences. With one look and a classic walk across a street , Monroe sets the standard for every sex symbol who has attempted to steal her title as the greatest love goddess of the movies. It's sensual, it's sensational, it's the ultimate in suspense, it's "Niagara"!
