Seven Year Itch was a three act play written by George Axelrod. The romantic comedy debuted on November 20, 1952 but was soon turned into a film, released in 1955. Starring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell, it is called one of the greatest comedies of it's time, and is famous for multle scenes and quotes, including the ever-famous picture of Monroe's white dress flying up because of a passing subway train.
The comedy tells the story of Richard Sherman, who is reading a book that will soon be published by his company, which tells about a 7 year itch, explaining that the vast majority of men will deviate from their wives after seven years of marriage. After sending his family to Maine for the summer to avoid the heat, he meets a 22 year old blonde model, who lives above him. As he spends time with her, his over-active imagination takes over the story with his fantasies about cheating on his wfe, his wife cheating on him up in maine, and his wife catching (and sometimes killing) him while he cheats on her with this blonde girl (nameless).
