The Seven Year Itch
(1955)
Directed by Billy
Wilder this film based on the play of the same name stars Tom Ewell
and Marilyn Monroe. With his wife and child in the country for the
summer a New York businessman struggles to keep clear of his vices
while having a Midlife crisis.
This is one of those
films that you can easily tell is based on a play and somewhat
disappointingly a lot of material was cut to placate film censors.
What we do get is a funny and interesting look into the mind of a
some what neurotic, sex crazed man long before Woody Allen started
making films. There is a lot to enjoy here even if this is not the
deepest film ever and there is at least one iconic moment in the
film.
4/5
