Seven Year Itch

All anyone really remembers from this movie anymore is Marilyn Monroe's dress blowing up when she stands on a subway vent, and I have to ask myself if even that was worth remembering. This has to be one of Billy Wilder's most annoying comedies. George Axelrod adapted his own play, and must have used it line for line, complete with the main character alone in a room speaking aloud every thought that comes into his mind -- and not an interesting stream-of-consciousness, mind you. After watching this I have to thank God that there are very few men like the "everyman" male protagonist of the film. Monroe brings her characteristic innocence and naivte, but it's not one of her best roles. Definitely one of Wilder's most overrated films. Best line (and image Marilyn Monroe saying it with her distinct speech pattern) "This is what they call classical music, isn't it? I can tell because there's no lyrics."
