   and "The Misfits", in my view--and I believe I've seen every film she made.)    
       
      
   Forgot to say that I remember very little of "Niagara," since I only saw it   
   once, in 1991.   
      
   I DO remember that, once it was over and the patrons were leaving, a man   
   muttered to his friend: "What Hitchcock could have done with that..."   
      
   Anyway, since I only saw two other movies of Henry Hathaway's besides   
   "Niagara" (they were "Kiss of Death" and "Lives of a Bengal Lancer") I looked   
   him up.   
      
   "The House on 92nd Street" sounds like something people SHOULD see!

   Or so said Leonard Maltin, anyway - he gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars.
