The Seven Year Itch

About this event

Marilyn Monroe’s comic fantasy in this all-time classic showing as part of our Billy Wilder season. Richard, a middle-aged publishing executive whose wife and son have left New York for a vacation, is left to endure the sweltering city heat with an increasingly overactive imagination. Matters aren’t helped by the presence of a beautiful, vivacious woman in the apartment upstairs. He doesn’t stand a chance. Monroe’s first collaboration with Billy Wilder created the most iconic image of her career – in that white dress – but also capitalised on her comedic talents and seamless ability to blend sensual sexuality with naïve sweetness.
