The Seven Year Itch

Marilyn Monroe was a gorgeous blonde, the kind who made men's tongues hit the floor. She also played innocent, cute and dumb as well as anyone. Case in point, The Seven Year Itch is where that famous image of her skirt being blown up while she's standing over a subway grate comes from. And the cinematic icon aced all of those angles in Billy Wilder's comedy. Yes, the director had to compromise and cut out much of the risque material that was in the play, yet he's still got the gift of Monroe...and Tom Ewell too, who won a Tony for playing a man who has an overactive imagination and can't stop thinking about cheating while his family is away for the summer. But are we supposed to ROOT for him to be unfaithful? And is "The Girl" even real? This flawed movie HAS remained funny, at least, especially in the over-the-top fantasy sequences. So try to keep cool in the scorching summer heat as Have You Ever Seen #678 digs into the elegant and/or delicate shenanigans in The Seven Year Itch.
