For a brief period in June 1952, Niagara Falls wasn't just the setting for honeymoons and trips. For two weeks, the area became the backdrop for the noir thriller film appropriately titled Niagara, starring Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. The film's crew stayed at the General Brock Hotel (now The Brock Niagara Falls Fallsview, Tapestry by Hilton). Monroe stayed in room 801, a room that some fans still request today, although, if you can imagine, it's a pretty tough reservation to get. Niagara premiered in Canada on Jan. 28, 1953, at the now-shuttered Seneca Theatre on Queen Street in Niagara Falls.
