Niagara wishes to convey two pieces of information:
A: Niagara Falls is a terrifically swell place to go for your honeymoon.
B: Niagara Falls is also a great place to plan a murder.
The film seems to have only gotten permission to be about B by ensuring that precept A was also followed.
It is disappointing that with such a great locale the film turns out to be a by-the-numbers thriller and likely would've fallen off the map if not for the presence of Marilyn Monroe. Items A and B could've really combined into a great movie, a Canadian version of Touch of Evil. No such luck - I guess the idea of a Canadian Touch of Evil is pretty absurd, regardless.
