Event Details
Newlyweds Ray and Polly Cutler (Jean Peters and Casey Adams) take a postponed honeymoon at Niagara Falls, where they encounter Rose and George Loomis (Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten). The Loomis’s rocky relationship hangs over the couple’s romantic getaway, further complicated by a murder. 1953 was an important year for Monroe with the successes of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire in the following months, and her breakout performance as the sensual Rose in Niagara catapulted the actor into superstardom.
