As I just posted, the movie Niagara starring Marilyn Monroe had lots of great shots of the Falls. The movie was filmed in 1952 and released in 1953, and it is very interesting to see how things have changed in the 50 years since.
I took a few screen captures to show the quality of some of the shots.
These two are from the trailer that is on the DVD. Niagara and Marilyn Monroe. The two most electrifying sights in the world!
This shows a nice aerial of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. This looks significantly different today.
This is a nice shot facing south showing both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls.
This is the Maid of the Mist No. 2.
The Scenic Tunnels have since been renamed Journey Behind the Falls
They still do the nightly illumination today.
You can purchase Niagara from both Amazon.ca
