It's nice to see more detail in this great film, not for Marylin, but for seeing Tom Ewell's expressive face and all the little things around their apartment. The movie itself never gets old even after all these years. The video and audio upgrade only makes it better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marilyn at her most brilliant!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015

When most people think about The Seven Year Itch the thing that immediately comes to mind is the infamous scene in which the subway vents blow Marilyn Monroe's dress up while she is walking in New York City, but if you sit down and watch the film, this is not the reason that you will come away loving it.
This is a hilarious story of a middle aged man (Tom Ewell) with a wild imagination who sends his family upstate during the hottest part of the summer while he stays in NYC to work. He then meets a young girl (Monroe) who is renting the apartment upstairs and starts imagining that she is attracted to him. Half of the scenes in the film are carried brilliantly by Ewell as he stands in his apartment talking to himself about various things, most of which have to do the girl upstairs clearly being madly in love with him, since she knocked a potted tomato plant off the balcony and it nearly hit him, and what his wife would do if she ever found out. Hilarity ensues over the next few days as the two become friends and Ewell's character bounces back and forth with his thoughts about this girl, his wife.
There are many reasons why this is seen as such a great movie, but to me the most memorable thing is the truly beautiful performance that is given by Marilyn Monroe. She spends most of the movie playing the clueless blonde that she was known for playing, but in the last scene she gives a truly beautiful and wise speech telling Ewell that being incredibly handsome and having people adore you is not what is going to make a girl fall in love with you and it is not what is truly important. She tells him that what is much more important is who that man really is inside and how he treats a girl. She tells him that it's much more exciting if you know that "he'll be tender with you, nice and sweet". This is one of Marilyn's great moments and the real reason why this movie should be remembered.
The Seven Year Itch is a wonderful film and it is one of my favorite Marilyn Monroe movies. It arrived promptly and in good condition and this is a really decent prince for such a good classic movie. I would definitely recommend it!

One of my favorite films from the Fifties. It is remastered so it looks like it was produced a week ago and it brings back a lot of memories for me. If you enjoy Marilyn's films, this is a classic. I have no doubt that you will enjoy the subway wind moment in the film. You will know it and remember once you see the film. Rush out and buy yourself a copy.

Marilyn Monroe is gorgeous but her movies never reflected the innate intelligence of the woman. She was extremely bright and her actin g proved that. The fact that she died like she did proved she put the fear of God in the kinds of people with ability and the means to kill her and cover it up. No one has ever been brought trial over her death. He death is a murky as Dorothy Killgallen and John F. Kennedys. Too bad. She was a gorgeous, talented woman who died way too early.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helen Sherman [in Richard's fantasy]: "Lately you've begun to imagine in Cinemascope... with stereophonic sound."
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2010
Verified Purchase
Tom Ewell won the 1953 Best Actor Tony for George Axelrod's comedy, THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH. The play had 1151 performances from 11/20/52 to 8/13/55. Unlike the movie, Broadway audiences heard the inner thoughts of both Ewell and "the Girl." These lines were read by off-stage actors.

The photo on this product page of Marilyn Monroe on a Manhattan subway grate is far more revealing than the sequence used in the movie. During an early morning location shoot, Marilyn's husband Joe DiMaggio stood by while a noisy crowd of 5000 spectators distracted her enough to ruin 40 takes. Each time that dress rose in the air so did Joe's blood pressure. The footage re-shot later has close-ups and discreet angles that show little of MM's torso but irreparable damage had already been done. By the time this movie hit theaters, Monroe's troubled marriage to DiMaggio was long over.

SYNOPSIS--
In Billy Wilder's toned-down adaptation of an often frisky play, Ewell reprises his stage role of a married man at loose ends while wifey and son are vacationing in Maine. Straitlaced publishing exec Richard Sherman fantasizes about the babe who's subletting the upstairs apartment, but it's the 1950s so nothing much happens beyond him feeiing guilty and them getting seen together by the building's nosy custodian.

Reminiscent of Thurber's  Walter Mitty , Sherman's vivid imagination plays out a variety of scenarios. In this case, his daydreams run the gamut from romantically comic to terrifying. It's ostensibly Ewell's movie, but with Monroe at her ditzy blonde peak, who notices him when she's around?

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Der Strohwitwer...
Reviewed in Germany on February 19, 2023

"Es gibt drei wichtige Regeln beim Filmemachen: Du sollst nicht langweilen. Du sollst nicht langweilen und Du sollst nicht langweilen" - das war ein Leitspruch von Regisseur Billy Wilder und dies gelang ihm mit Sicherheit in der 1955 inszenierten Komödie "Das verflixte 7. Jahr". In diesem Film drehte er erstmalig mit Marilyn Monroe und schuf dabei eines der berühmtesten Bilder bwz. Filmszenen der Popkultur des 20. Jahrhundert: Die Diva steht auf einem U-Bahn Gitter, während ihr weißes Kleid von einem unten vorbeifahrenden Zug nach oben geweht ist. Beim Kinostar war der Film äusserst erfolgreich und landete auch im Jahresranking der erfolgreichsten Filme in die Top10.

Der Film geht auf das erfolgreiche Broadway Theaterstück "Meine Frau erfährt kein Wort" zurück. Während im Theater die Affäre tatsächlich stattfindet, war es beim Film aufgrund der strengen Richtlinien des Hays Codes nicht möglich. So musste Billy Wilder Kompromisse machen und es bleibt im Film bei eher harmlosen Küssen und den Fantasieträumen des Helden Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell), dessen Frau Helen (Evelyn Keyes) mit Söhnchen Ricky (Tom Nolan) in den Sommerurlaub nach Maine fährt. In der ersten Szene nimmt Wilder Bezug auf die Manhattan Indianer, die ihre Frauen auch jeden Sommer in den Urlaub schickten. So konnten sie bei den jungen Frauen des Stammes sozusagen den "Wilden Mann" spielen. Dies alles geschah vor einigen Jahrhunderten, aber auch in den 50er Jahren hat sich dieser Brauch erhalten, denn viele New Yorker Familienväter nutzen diese Zeit ohne Gattin für Hobbys, die sie nur alleine ausleben können: In Bars gehen, Alkohol genießen und eventuell hübsche jungen Damen kennenlernen. Als das sind Themen, die auch dem Strohwitwer Richard durch den Kopf gehen. Aber er verabscheut diese animalischen Gedanken und findet es skandalös, dass es Vertreter seines Geschlechts gibt, die diese ehefraulose Zeit gehörig ausnutzen. "Nicht mit mir" - so holt er seine wilden Fantasien wieder runter. Mit guten Vorsätzen am Abend etwas zu lesen, geht er nach Hause. Doch an diesem Abend lernt er eine junge Frau (Marilyn Monroe), die im Stockwerk oben eine Wohnung gemietet hat. Ein Sommer in New York bietet einige Hundstage und die Werbeschauspielerin und Model hat sich extra für die heiße Wohnung einen Ventilator gekauft. Sie klingelt an der Wohnungstür der Shermans und so sehen sich die beiden zum ersten Mal. Richard ist von der Attraktivität der Blondine hingerissen. In seiner Wohnung denkt er an diese Traumfrau und beginnt das Buch des Psychiaters Dr. Brubaker (Oskar Homolka) zu lesen, in dem beschrieben wird, dass gerade in dem verflixten 7. Ehejahr sehr viele ausserehelichen Affären begonnen werden. Dann fällt von oben eine Topfpflanze auf seinen Sessel. Verursacht hat dies natürlich die Blondine und so lernen sich die beiden noch besser kennen. Er lädt das Mädchen zu sich in die Wohnung ein und es entstehen Gedanken zwischen großer erotischer Anziehung, aber auch Gedanken von starken Schuldgefühlen...

Tom Ewell spielte die Figur des Richard Sherman bereits in der Broadway Theateraufführung. Er begeistert durch seine grandiose Darstellung eines durchschnittlichen Mannes, der über eine überbordende Fantasie verfügt, aber durch Schuldgefühle und Eifersucht immer wieder paranoide Züge annehmen. Wilder hat dies mit einem perfekten Humor ausgestattet - das Drehbuch verfasste er zusammen mit George Axelrod. Und selbst wegen der Tatsache, dass Wilder nie glücklich war, dass dem Film aufgrund der Zensur die Affäre verweigert wurde, hat er für mich einen seiner absoluten Topfilme geschaffen. Wilder wusste wie kein Zweiter, wie man das Publikum zum Lachen bringen konnte. Er schuf damit eine der schönsten Rollen für Marilyn Monroe, die prima zu Tom Ewell passte, der für diese Rolle eine Golden Globe Nominerung bekam.

3.0 out of 5 stars モンローの白いドレスが舞い踊る！
Reviewed in Japan on July 18, 2021

M.モンローといえば、「セクシー女優」「コメディー女優」の代名詞。中でも、有名なのが、地下鉄の通気口の風にあおられ白いドレスが吹き上がるシーン。それが、本作品で、1度ならずも2度も演じられている。このシーンが、どういう展開の中で使われるのか興味があった。だが、前後に何の脈絡もなく、偶発的な出来事として扱われている。観る側が満足すればそれでいいのだが…。発想は面白いが描写は意外に地味だった。当時としての限界だったのだろうが…。このシーンが、ジョー・ディマジオの怒りに触れて離婚の一因となった。皮肉にも、身寄りの無かったモンローの葬儀を取り仕切ったのもディマジオだった。
全編に流れる「ラフマニノフ」との関連性も理解しがたい。モンローの色気と笑いを「明」「軽」とするなら、ラフマニノフの音階の「暗」「重」で全体の雰囲気を中和し引き締めようとしたのか？
キャストのクレジットだが、モンローは、主役なのに名前はなく「娘」と表記されている。作品中、名前は必要なくても、役名くらいはほしいものだ。
批判的な表記をしたかもしれないが、モンローを批判したものではない。
私も、モンロー・ウォークにドキドキさせられたファンの一人だ。天使の笑顔を絶やさないモンローよ、永遠のセックスシンボルとしてファンの心の中に生き続けてほしい！
