Is The Seven Year Itch the most famous movie that's "only known for one thing"?


That being the scene where Marilyn Monroe's white dress blows up!

definitely, and it's also a pretty worthless film. I'm sure there are others too.

The playwright who wrote this is extremely 1-dimensional. He also wrote WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER, which is perhaps even flimsier.

He later adapted some better material, created by others...but those were kind of foolproof properties to begin with.

"The Seven Year Itch" is a great movie. The dress-blowing-up scene is the least of it. But the film is for grownups.
