In this, her first colour film, she plays a femme fatale. Two married couples arrive at Niagara, and after a mix-up over the cabin they have booked, they become acquainted. One couple, George and Rose Loomis (Cotton and Monroe) are unhappily married, and Rose and her lover Ted have a plan to murder George. A classic film noir, even if it is in colour, and it made Marilyn a star.

In the early 2000s in Dundee, aspiring rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd are told they’re “too Scottish” for hip hop, so they reinvent themselves as Californian duo Silibil N’ Brains. Against all odds, the ruse works — record deals, media hype, and brushes with hip hop royalty follow.
