Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Seven Year Itch
Marilyn Monroe is simply delightful. Well, that, and damned sexy, too! In Director Billy Wilder's sex comedy, Marilyn plays the incredibly sexy (right!) upstairs neighbor of Tom Ewell--whose wife just happens to be on vacation. What a temptation! "To do or not to do"! Wilder is in his comic element/genuis here and this cult/pop classic is well deserving of its reputation!
--Bill Hobbs, Resident Scholar
