Fun, Entertaining, A Classic, “The Seven Year Itch” this
film started a pop culture trend for years, the iconic film, “The seven year
itch” starring the beautiful, seductive, Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn
Keyes in the film is about a married husband who is at home while his wife is
on vacation with their little boy as he attends camp. His beautiful neighbor
“The Girl” played by Marilyn Monroe becomes a distraction to him as he begins
to become tested by her while she is staying in the apartment above him. He
daydreams of her and also comes to actually meet her getting closer to her and
getting to know her as well. The film definitely has plenty of hilarious
moments and also many well -known scenes people have seen for years. It is one
of Monroe’s best and memorable comedic scenes. The film debuted and premiered
on Monroe’s 29th birthday June 1, 1955 and made it’s way into theaters.
Her white cotton halter v-neck dress worn in the film has become an icon along
with the film. Worn by many people within the film from Halloween costumes,
parties, and within many other films as well. So in honor of what would be
Marilyn’s 89th birthday I wanted to also honor this film as well.
It was shot in New York City right on Lexington Avenue near
53rd street as well.
This film even started a saying “The 7 year itch” meaning when a man
starts to feel overwhelmed, unsatisfied, bored in his marriage. He may begin
“The wandering eye” syndrome and start looking at other females. So the film
definitely sparked plenty of conversations in households during that time. The film won 1 Golden Globe along with 3
other nominations BAFTA, Directors Guild of America, and Writers Guild of
America for “Best Written American Comedy” awards as well . Definitely one film
to remember and has now been around for decades and will continue to be too. I
hope you all get a chance to see the film too. For more information on the film visit http://www.marilynmonroe.com
