The Seven Year Itch
Wow, it's been a while since I watched one of the classic films from my list! So much for my prediction that the winter would allow me plenty of time for classic film watching. Anyhow... I recently watched The Seven Year Itch starring Miss Monroe as The Girl and Tom Ewell as the poor (married) schmuck, Richard, who becomes completely enamored with her. This film is set during a sweltering Manhattan summer in the 1950's. Richard's wife of seven years has taken their children and headed for out of town to relax and cool off. Richard resolves to be good while she's away. He won't drink, he won't smoke and he won't fool around like all the other men do! But when The Girl moves in upstairs he finds himself tempted by her in every way. What results is a silly and sexy romantic comedy. This movie was totally enjoyable. I love a good Billy Wilder film!
