Customer Reviews

Based on a well-known fact.

“Fact”: If your name is Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell) and your wife of seven years has gone to Florida for the summer, you will fall victim to "The Seven-Year Itch." This film is based on a play by George Axelrod, who also wrote “Goodbye Charlie” (1964), and produced and directed “Lord Love a Duck” (1966). The director Billy Wilder also directed “The Apartment” (1960) and “Sabrina” (1954). As with Shakespeare, this movie is a classic; many scenes and lines have been immortalized and parodied. I am not too sure that Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto was not used to remind us of “Brief Encounter” (1945). The basic storyline is, ever since the time of Native American Manhattan's; in the summertime wives and children go south for the summer to escape the excessive heat. This leaves a residual of working husbands and the sprinkling of single women. Or, to be more precise, Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe. Tom has a great imagination, and we see many of the scenes through his imagination. As the two accidentally meet and start to converse, Richard Sherman's (Tom's) imagination only gets more exotic. I am not going to quote the movie lines or scenes as if you have previously viewed this movie; then you know them by heart. If you are new to this movie, you need to have the characters deliver them. I will say one of my favorites is when Mr. Kruhulik (Robert Strauss), the janitor, comes to clean.
