NIAGARA (1953)
92 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTOR: HENRY HATHAWAY
CAST: MARILYN MONROE, JOSEPH COTTON, JEAN PETERS, MAX SHOWALTER
Two couples are honeymooning at Niagara Falls, and the wife of one couple plots with the husband of the other to murder her own husband. This film brought the tropes of film noir into the glossiest and sexiest Technicolor; and is—ironically—largely responsible for cementing Niagara’s reputation as a honeymoon destination.
DON’T BOTHER TO KNOCK (1952)
76 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTOR: ROY WARD BAKER
CAST: RICHARD WIDMARK, MARILYN MONROE, ANNE BANCROFT
Marilyn occasionally got a role that was a departure from ditzy blonde or femme fatale; this may be the furthest departure of all. Initially we might be watching a romantic comedy: an airline pilot falls head over heels for his babysitter neighbour. Then he comes to suspect that she may be dangerous.
