A husband of seven years, alone in New York while his family is on vacation, fantasises an affair with the TV model in the upstairs apartment and develops “The seven year itch”. Tortured by guilt, he envisions so many dire consequences that he finally runs off to join his wife. Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe star in this tremendous comedy. Based on the play by George Axelrod.
