Description of this Niagara Poster
Niagara is a 1953 American film noir, directed by Henry Hathaway, produced by Charles Brackett and written by Brackett, Richard L. Breen and Walter Reisch. The film stars Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters and Max Showalter (credited as Casey Adams). It was one of 20th Century Fox's biggest box office successes that year.
Unlike other films noir of the era, which were generally in black and white, Niagara was filmed in "three-strip" Technicolor (one of the last films to be shot at Fox in this format, as a few months later Later, Fox began converting to CinemaScope, which had compatibility issues with all three bands, but not with Eastmancolor).
Monroe won first place in Niagara, which propelled her to stardom. His next two films, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) and How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), were even bigger successes.
Ray and Polly Cutler, on a delayed honeymoon to Niagara Falls, find their reserved cabin occupied by George and Rose Loomis. Rose tells them that George is asleep and has just been released from an army mental hospital after his service in Korea. The Cutlers politely, but reluctantly, accept another cabin, less coveted, and the two couples thus get to know each other.
George and Rose have a very troubled and unstable marriage. She is younger and very attractive. He is jealous, depressed and irritable. The next day, while visiting the falls, Polly sees Rose passionately kissing another man, her lover Patrick.
That evening, the Cutlers witness George's anger. Rose joins an impromptu party and asks for a record of her favorite song, "Kiss." George storms out of their cabin and smashes the record, suspecting that the song has a secret meaning for Rose. Seeing that George has cut his hand on the disc, Polly goes to his room to apply mercurochrome and bandages. George confides to him that he was a sheep farmer and that his luck changed after his marriage to Rose, whom he met when she was a barmaid.
The next day, Rose tricks George into following her into the dark tourist tunnel beneath the falls, where Patrick is waiting to kill him. To let Rose know that George is dead, Patrick asks the Rainbow Tower's carillon to play "Kiss". When she hears the melody played by the carillon bells, Rose concludes that George is dead.
In fact, it was George who killed Patrick, threw his body into the falls, and picked up Patrick's shoes on the way out instead of his own. This leads the police to believe that George is the victim. The body is recovered and the police bring in Rose to identify George's body. When the face is revealed and she recognizes the dead man, she collapses before she can say anything and is admitted to the hospital.
The motel manager moves the Cutlers' belongings to the Loomises' cabin. George goes to the cabin looking for Rose but finds Polly sleeping in his place. She wakes up and sees him before he runs away. She alerts the police, who launch a search operation. During the Cutlers' second visit to the falls, George finds Polly alone for a while. While trying to escape, she slips, but he saves her from falling into the waterfall's torrent. He explains to her that he killed Patrick in self-defense and begs her to "let me die". Polly leaves without answering. Later that day, she tells the police inspector that she thinks George is alive. George plays "Kiss" again on the carillon to panic Rose, who flees the hospital with the intention of crossing the border to return to the United States. Seeing that George is waiting for her at the border, she runs away and tries to hide in the carillon bell tower. George catches her and strangles her under the bells, which remain silent. Realizing that he is locked in the building, he sits next to the young woman's body and remorsefully tells her that he loved her.
The Cutlers go fishing with Ray's boss and his wife in a speedboat on part of the Niagara River above the falls. When the boat docks at Chippawa to stock up on gas and other supplies, George steals it with Polly on board. She asks him to surrender because it is self-defense, but he tells her that he cannot because he killed Rose. The police start chasing him. The boat runs out of fuel and drifts towards the falls. As they approach the edge, George scuttles the boat to slow it down and manages to get Polly onto a large rock before she goes over the falls and dies. Polly is rescued from the rock by a US Coast Guard helicopter.
