Montage from "Seven Year Itch" starring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell directed by Billy Wilder.
In the 1950s, when most women didn't work outside the home, and air conditioning was a luxury, not a given, the wives and children of Manhattan businessmen would leave the sizzling city for woodsy resorts and beach houses. Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell), publisher of cheap paperbacks, resolves to stop smoking and drinking and eat healthy foods while his wife and son are away. And he certainly won't play the field like the other summer bachelors left behind in the city.
Then he meets his upstairs neighbor: dizzy, ditzy, luscious Marilyn Monroe (known only as The Girl), subletting for the summer. His resolutions go out the window fast, and he finds himself a happily married man tempted by the "seven year itch."
Music is "Stolen Moments' vocal by Rudy Vallee
