It's a steamy summer in New York City and this scandalous, sexy comedy heats things up even more. A married man (Tom Ewell), whose wife and son are away for the summer, has his fidelity put to the test when a seductive starlet (Marilyn Monroe) moves in upstairs. Keeping his marriage vows in the face of her flirtations proves tough when challenged by the notorious "seven year itch". Faced with this provocative problem, he's victim to an outrageous mating dance filled with hilarious comedy. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

Marilyn Monroe... No, I'm not going to sing an ode to her beauty... Because she ruined this whole movie for me. Her squealing naive doll is annoying in a way that I just couldn't get over. I never considered her a sex symbol and I never will - and certainly not an actress. I'm not saying that The Seven Year Itch is unwatchable. Tom Ewell, with whom I haven't seen a single film so far, pleasantly surprised me, Wilder's script really made me laugh at several moments ("Until you're capable of terrorizing someone, I advise you to avoid something as complex as murder."), but... You know.
