Hitchcock Without the Pulse - Niagara review by griggs
Niagara plays like Hitchcock-lite—actually, very lite. There's a murder, sure, but the suspense barely flickers. The real reason to watch is Marilyn Monroe doing what she does best in Technicolor. The rest feels a bit flat. Tension should build, but instead, it sort of strolls. The big dramatic moment arrives, and it's more of a shoulder shrug than a gasp. That being said, the final escape sequence does manage to inject some much-needed excitement. In the end, it's not a bad film, just not the intense thriller it promises to be.
