Seven Year Itch

"Stairway To Nowhere .....Just Elegant"

The Seven Year Itch (1955) is one of Marilyn Monroe's most iconic films, and her performance in it is legendary. Directed by Billy Wilder, the film is a comedy about a man, played by Tom Ewell, who is tempted to cheat on his wife while she's away.

Monroe plays the character of "The Girl," an unnamed woman who lives in the apartment above Ewell's character. She becomes the object of his fantasies and desires.

Monroe's portrayal of The Girl is classic. She is both innocent and sensual, embodying the playful, carefree image that she became known for.

The most famous scene from the film features Monroe standing over a subway grate, with her white dress blowing up in the air.

This moment has since become one of the most recognised images in film history.
