Definitely a guy flick


My wife can't sit through it.

Nobody can, anymore. The best thing to do with "Itch" is make your own copy, without all of Tom Ewell's fantasies and monologues. The movie was a smash at the time because of Monroe, and it was considered witty--all the innuendo and pop psychology about sex and infidelity. But the film has aged badly, except for MM, who is adorable and gives a most relaxed and amusing performance. With just a hint of poignancy.

I'm watching it right now, out of all Marilyn's movies this is the one I can sit through entirely. Marilyn is the star but I find the old unattractive male lead hilarious. Apparently he's a stage actor but he really transfered great to film.

I am a woman and I love TSYI! Maybe it's nostalgia. It was the first Marilyn movie I ever saw and it's my favourite. I was twelve and I have loved her ever since. I like Tom Ewell in this, too. He makes me laugh quite a lot 

"The Seven Year Itch" is a great movie. Tome Ewell is terrific. My wife enjoyed it as much as I did. But I understand why some people don't like it--it's for grownups.
