Set against the dramatic backdrop of Niagara Falls, Marilyn Monroe portrays Rose, a beautiful and cunning femme fatale who plans to murder her troubled husband (Joseph Cotton). Vastly different from her often comedic roles, Monroe’s turn as the diabolical and scheming Rose is at once fascinating and frightening, a performance which paints a powerful portrait of human sexuality and passion.

"The producers are making full use of both the grandeur of the Falls and its adjacent areas as well as the grandeur that is Marilyn Monroe. The scenic effects in both cases are superb."
"Everyone's honeymoon haven at one time, Niagara Falls, is the deceptive setting for this offbeat, absorbing film with bowstring-tight direction from Hathaway and superb performances from Cotten as a jealous husband and Monroe as his neurotic wife."
This film is part of the Marilyn Monroe at 100 series.
