It's considered a lesser Monroe, but I like it.

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. [More]

Reviews for Niagara
The parts without [Monroe's] luminous presence onscreen are noticeably less interesting than those parts where she was involved.
The real star in this film is the majestic and powerful Niagara Falls...
Apesar das boas atuações de Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters e da presença marcante de Marilyn Monroe, o filme naufraga graças a um roteiro medíocre e à direção burocrática de Hathaway.
