Niagara (1953 Henry Hathaway)

"Miss Va-va-voom" Marilyn Monroe and dissatisfied and neurotic husband Joseph Cotten tangle with honeymooners Jean Peters and Max Showalter in somewhat contrived set of circumstances from Charles Brackett, Walter Reisch and Richard Breen.

Frankly if I had to listen to those bells all day long, I'd murder someone.

It's 20th Century Fox again, so Ben Nye has been super-reddening Marilyn's lips for Joe MacDonald's fine colour noir photography. (I'm not sure if it was his first in colour, but researching that has led me to buy O Henry's Full House - thus demonstrating the dangers of the Internet.)
