 A classic Marilyn
Monroe vehicle, featuring her as -- a sexy naive blonde bombshell.
She is also the object of desire of her happily married downstairs
neighbor, whose wife of seven years just happens to be away on
a long vacation. The two embark on misadventures together in
Manhattan (including the now legendary scene in which Monroe's
dress is blown up by a passing train), as the lustful gent tries
(and tries) to keep his libido in check. Considered by many to
be Marilyn Monroe's best movie. Directed by the legendary Billy
Wilder.
