Niagara Released in 1953, Niagara is a dramatic thriller with film noir elements. It wasn't written as a star vehicle for Marilyn Monroe but she would dominate the film nonetheless. Anne Baxter originally won the role of Polly (which would eventually go to Jean Peters). Unlike other film noir movies of the time, Niagara was shot in Technicolor and was one of 20th Century Fox's biggest box office hits of the year and, along with Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire, solidified Monroe's status as a bona fide box-office draw.
