The Seven Year Itch
Directed by Billy Wilder
1955
★ 3.2 editorial score
The subway grate photograph is more famous than the film: Billy Wilder strands a Manhattan husband alone for the summer, Marilyn Monroe moves in upstairs, and the fantasies start immediately.
“The primal urge in the male animal—particularly one who has been married for seven years when he finds himself left alone for the whole summer in the hot city, with a voluptuous young lady in the apartment upstairs—is one of the principal topics of "The Seven Year Itch" at Loew's State. The other, equally assertive and much more tangible, is Marilyn Monroe.”
