Niagara (1953)
Niagara was the film that made Marilyn Monroe a star, and a rare film noir shot in blazing Technicolor, with the falls themselves as an accomplice to murder. Its most famous moment is Monroe walking away from the camera in a single long take, which Fox’s publicity men proudly billed as the longest walk in film history. Henry Hathaway filmed on location at the falls, swapping noir’s dark alleys for tourist boats, spray and sunshine. Within months Monroe had made Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire, and 1953 became her year.
This is the French One Panel, the grand 47 x 63 inch format also known as the Grande, from the film’s French release, where it kept its title unchanged. It is unfolded, which is unusual for a French poster of this size and period, and French Monroe paper from her breakthrough year is keenly sought.
