Sure does look, seem, feel like a Hitchcock film

I think that, out of every non-Hitchcock movie I've ever seen, Niagara is the one that, if I didn't already know otherwise, I would be 100% certain it's a Hitchcock film. But, if it were, I don't think Hitch would have ever let the actor who portrays the young husband give such a distractingly, detractingly goofy performance. That performance is the one thing that, for me, is disappointing about Niagara. Pretty much everything else is terrific.

I think thr goofball husband and the cheesball boss help to add depth to the movie, as those two elements and the pretty setting contrast so heavily with the darker parts of the movie... makes all of the sinister and moody elements seem even more so.
Also, Jean Peters was such a babe in this...

The goofball husband comes off much better once the story's dramatic tension kicks into high gear, though until then the actor (Max Showalter [billed as Casey Adams]) portraying him feels like a beginner amongst solid pros.
I think that the role, if portrayed by someone giving a much more nuanced performance, would have been infinitely more successful.
