    Light-hearted comedy about an 'Average Joe' who lets his imagination run free when he discovers that a gorgeous blonde bombshell [Marilyn Monroe] has moved into the apartment above his. As usual, Marilyn's character is ditsy, naive and breathtakingly beautiful. The kind of rol...( read more)e that both made her famous and ensured she would be forever typecast as the clueless sexpot next door. Though it may not make the Top 100 Films list, The Seven Year Itch does contain one of the most memorable moments in movie history, when Marilyn stands above a subway vent and lets the wind blow her skirt up.

    best oldie i've seen for about a year (last one was the apartment with jack lemmon). anyway, this is marilyn monroe and tom ewell... whoever the fuck he is. he's a good actor, slightly akin to lemmon if you use your imagination like richard sherman does! marilyn's great in it in ...( read more)her usual ditzy blonde role. her most iconic part i've seen. it's when she's stood over the underground train vent on the pavement (sidewalk to american cunts) and her dress keeps blowing up whenever a train goes by. that does it... cunting unbelievable! some great lines from a very witty script thanks to billy wilder and george axelrod (who wrote breakfast at tiffanys) such as when richard goes into the office the morning after his wife has left for the summer and he's asked by his secretary about whether he wants her to get him some breakfast or not and he says "Miss Morris, I'm perfectly capable of fixing my own breakfast. As a matter of fact, I had a peanut butter sandwich and two whiskey sours." i think this flick is the nearest the u.s. have ever got to english humour. also directed by billy wilder as well as co-written who also directed witness for the prosecution which was another great

    Great characters. Very funny! About a married man who is obsessed with the woman who lives in the apartment above. Famous dress scene.

    This Monroe classic still stands up as a movie today.

    A mildly amusing old fashioned sex comedy that's far fluffier than much of Wilder's other work. Monroe is memorable though, and it features one of her most famous images.

    I thought it was pretty damn funny, but it's not a film for everyone.

    Tom Ewell's character's neurotic tendencies got on my nerves. His paranoia really got in the way of the story for me and drove me crazy more than it made me laugh. Surprisingly, Marilyn Monroe's acting and comedy was a lot better and humorous for me than anything else in the film...( read more). With all the things I've heard about this movie I was rather disappointed in the whole thing.

    Now this was really, really funny! I love how the main character kept imagining things and talking to himself. It made it seem really true to life and interesting. Marilyn Monroe's character was a really annoying dumb blonde. I hope to see her in another movie with a little bit m...( read more)ore wit.

    Good, but not as good as Some Like It Hot. The main hero is truly delusional!
