The Seven Year Itch (1955)

The Seven Year Itch is a romantic comedy film directed by Billy Wilder in 1955, based on a script he co-wrote with George Axelrod based on the 1952 three-act play of the same name. Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell reprise their roles in the film. Monroe standing on a subway grate as her white dress is blown aloft by a passing train is one of the most famous pop-culture pictures of the twentieth century. Psychologists have coined the word, which refers to a loss of interest in monogamous relationships after seven years of marriage.

The term "seven year itch" refers to the period of time it takes for a married couple to become dissatisfied with their marital commitment. Monroe is restricted to the position of The Girl in Billy Wilder's classic rom-com. The film follows New Yorker Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell, who won a Golden Globe for his portrayal), a husband and father who decides to spend a lonely summer break as a bachelor. Richard, who is usually true to his wife, has a problem with faithfulness after meeting his gorgeous new upstairs neighbor (Monroe).
