Review of The Seven Year Itch (1955) by Movie C — 14 Jul 2012

âThe Seven Year Itchâ?

A movie from the 1950â(TM)s staring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell. Itâ(TM)s about a man (Ewell) a married man I should mention that tries to fight, basically the sexual temptations, for his new beautiful but ditzy neighbor (Monroe) who just moved up stairs when his wife and son leave town for the rest of the summer.

Now this man has a very vivid imagination, if this movie were to be made now I can guarantee it would go something like this: Boobs, Sex, Sex, Boob slip, Strippers, Alcohol, Sex, Boobs, Boobs, Sex, and that sort of scene where you hear people having sex next door for no apparent reason. This movie was basically âsexyâ? in a â1950â(TM)s wayâ?. I should also mention that Marilyn Monroe is very â1950â(TM)s sexyâ? and this is the first movie Iâ(TM)ve ever seen of herâ(TM)s so I thought it would be perfect to watch and review and it looked interesting. Anything with the words âSeven Year Itchâ? looks interesting.

The movie was actually very funny the plot is so simple but only a cast like this and a legendary director like Billy Wilder can pull off a stunt like that. A majority of the movie is of course set in his apartment, and a lot of it is him talking to himself. It had me laughing but bored at some parts I must say. If you have problems focusing at times, kind of like I do, donâ(TM)t plan on enjoying this movie, but I enjoyed it and I think itâ(TM)s the âartâ? of a movie that matters and this is a masterpiece. If you enjoy the classicâ(TM)s definitely give this a try. Itâ(TM)s just phenomenal, the cast, story, the flow of the movie was great. And come on.. Marilyn Monroe. Seriously a âsexyâ? LEGEND. Everything with the word âSEXYâ? was invented when that woman came around. Although it felt odd a little bit watching her on screen and knowing that sheâ(TM)s not around today RIP MARILYN :( unfortunatly because I know there is so many flicks that could of had her name all over it.
