Rose Loomis: Sure. I'm meeting somebody, just anybody handy, as long as he's a man! How 'bout the ticket seller himself? I could grab him on the way out, or one of the kids with the phonograph. Anybody suits me. Take your pick.

Trivia
When Joseph Cotten's character says his wife would like to wear that dress right in the middle of Yankee Stadium, this may be an inside joke. At this time Marilyn Monroe was in the middle of a high profile relationship with retired New York Yankee, Joe DiMaggio. They would marry early the following year. See more »Goofs
In the first few minutes we see Rose (Marilyn Monroe) in bed and the ashtray and cup on the bedside table are beside each other. When the camera angle changes to the opposite side of the bed the cup is well away from the table edge and no longer in line with the ashtray. See more »Quotes

Joseph Cotten was an outstanding actor whose talents have been terribly under-appreciated. He is great in this movie as an abusive husband. The very sexy Marilyn Monroe is his wife, who is having an affair with another man. They meet a pair of young newlyweds on their honeymoon. Max Showalter as the young husband is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen. Jean Peters as his bride does the unthinkable, managing to look almost as beautiful as Marilyn herself.
This is a suspenseful and entertaining movie, which makes great use of the scenery surrounding Niagara Falls.
