André Bazin

It is quite possible that Hathaway originally took this rather conventional script seriously, because he hoped he could renew interest in it through his employment of the mise-en-scene.

As a film noir piece, Hathaway directs it with the force of a torrent to narrate its melodrama about jealousy, lust and murder, with beautiful landscapes and without losing that touch of tension. [Full review in Spanish]

Technicolor is stunning, so as the set design. Rose's prolonged, almost silent murder scene is as good as it gets and puts most stylish giallos to shame.

Niagara Falls itself is featured in so many sequences that it's virtually one of the film's stars.

...a somewhat erratic yet thoroughly satisfying 1950s thriller.
