directed by
Henry Hathaway
USA 1953
The look and atmosphere in this film is so vivid that even viewed on TV it makes you feel as if you have been to Niagara Falls sometime in the early 1950s. The plot takes a deceptively leisurely pace but it builds to a gripping climax. It is worth the viewer's time & effort to stick with it to the end. Marilyn Monroe is radiantly treacherous & her performance is subtle and bears close watching beyond her obvious attractiveness. She should get a lot more credit for this picture than I've seen others give her. Joseph Cotten balances between being menacing & getting our pity & sympathy. Not all the performances are terrific but this movie is a gem that rewards the effort to stick with it to the end.

| Comments: |
Like the
other DVDs in the 2 Marilyn Collections - this image is very good -
fairly
tight lines, good colors complimented with some film
grain. I approve of the subtitles, and the audio is strong with stereo
and mono in English as well as a French DUB offered.
Extras are a bit slight again, but the restoration feature is often an
interesting distraction. Include in this a dynamite cheap price and its
a no-brainer purchase.
