That rare gem, a Technicolor noir, featuring Marilyn Monroe in one of her most underrated – and villainous – roles. Joseph Cotten remains, forever, one of my favorite actors. 1950s Technicolor Niagara Falls is truly a wonder to behold.

(Directed by Henry Hathaway from a screenplay by Charles Brackett Walter Reisch, and Richard Breen. Starring Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotten, and Jean Peters. Released 21 January 1953.)
