So that’s where that infamous scene of Marilyn Monroe’s dress flying upwards came from! ‘The Seven Year Itch’ that was released in 1955 and written and directed by Polish filmmaker Billy Wilder and starring cult bombshell Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell and Evelyn Keyes only won 1 Golden Globe that year and garnered another 3 nominations, however it has gone down in the books for life as an iconic film.
The famous scene that made this Comedy-Romance significantly famous was actually only a few seconds long, but alas it was the heavy magnitude that Marilyn was able to subdue her audience. I must say that I quite enjoyed it and it was a playful comedy shedding light on the temptations all married couples may face at some point or the other. Monroe played her usual role as the clueless and attractive blonde but was delightful and refreshing to watch on screen as she possessed a certain sweet charisma.
An alluring and engaging tale that won’t soon be forgotten.
