The year 1953 belonged fully to MM. She was lucky to have three films that did well. Niagara still clumsily offered mostly Marilyn's raw sex appeal (in addition to the great exteriors), but it was clear that for next time, her energy would not be wasted on supporting roles and cheap productions. After Niagara, MM was only a part of expensive, possibly color or CinemaScope productions. It’s no -movie. What did she do to deserve it? An ordinary suspense film about a woman who plans the murder of her husband with her lover. Hollywood has known many such stories. Once it was Barbara Stanwyck, another time it was Lana Turner, but this time it was the scandalous naked calendar girl who played up the gossip and her own ambitions.
