The movie responsible for one of Marilyn's most famous pictures
16 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
''The Seven Year Itch''is one of the classics with Marilyn Monroe, when we have the famous scene of Marilyn's dress blowing up around her legs as she stands over a subway grating.(and also the scene that made Marilyn's and Joe's wedding to end!)

In Manhattan,Richard Sherman( as many other husbands from the Island) sends his wife Helen and his son Ricky to travel to their summer's house during the horrible summer in Manhattan,while he needs to work, since it is high season. Richard tries to behave himself, without drinking alcohol,smoking and meeting new women while his wife is distant from him,but when he meets his beautiful and sexy neighbor (played by Marilyn Monroe) many things scape from his control.

The lead character is very neurotic, what makes me feel angry and wishing to punch him sometimes, but the story is kind of original, specially for the time it was written.(lots of censorship)

aka "O Pecado Mora Ao Lado" - Brazil
