 Niagara : filmcritic.com Movie Review
Set on the banks of Niagara Falls, honeymooners Polly and Ray (Jean Peters and Max Showalter) encounter the brazen Rose (Monroe) and her creepy husband George (the inimitable Joseph Cotten) in the bungalow next door.
Monroe's work here is often considered her best "serious" work, partially because she made so few non-comedies, and partly because she is quite effective as the femme fatale, the "fl widow" type of role that would have been interesting to see more of from her.
Peters and Showalter (billed as Casey Adams) fit the parts but fail to generate much sympathy, and Cotten is good but clearly uninspired by the story, a pale imitation of Vertigo and other Hitchcock flicks.

 Niagara (1953) - Channel 4 Film review
The one time honeymoon capital of the western world, Niagara Falls, is the setting for this peculiar, offbeat film noir.
Impossibly cheery honeymooners Ray (Showalter) and Polly Cutler (Peters) check into their cabin overlooking the Falls but get more than they bargained for when they discover a bitter married couple are among their neighbours.
On the downside there is a great deal of travelogue style shots of the Falls which go on far too long and Max Showalter spends the entire film pulling goofy faces that seem utterly out of sync with the film's dark tone.

Peters is lovely but insubstantial as Polly; frankly, I think she’s much prettier and sexier than Monroe, but she does little to distinguish herself as an actress.
