| A vacationing couple, George and Rose Loomis (Joseph Cotten and Marilyn Monroe), rent a quaint bungalow at romantic Niagara Falls. But Rose and her lover plan to murder the unsuspecting George--in the Falls! A dramatic departure from her more upbeat roles, Monroe's fascinating performance as the scheming murderess paints a powerfully dark portrait of human sexuality. |

Editor's Note
A seemingly naive woman (Marilyn Monroe) honeymooning with her newlywed husband (Joseph Cotten). Her purpose for the trip is soon clear, however, when she begins acting out a plot to murder her beloved. A surprising climax reveals the husband's ulterior motives as well. This was the first leading role for Monroe who immediately became a major box office draw. The camera follows her seductively through this suspenseful thriller.

Plot Summary
A blonde bombshell and her war-scarred, mentally-unbalanced husband go to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. But this is no love-filled vacation filled with hearts and flowers: the wife and her lover have deadly plans for the husband -- and he's got some unpleasant ideas in mind, too.
