      Alec B Iconic imagery aside, the movie itself is quite funny despite the fact that it's a somewhat neutered version of Axelrod's play. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Leaburn O Best Monroe film other than Some Like it Hot. Clever and scarily accurate reading of the male mind. Only failure of premise is that no wife would have a problem with their husband cheating on them with Marilyn surely? That would just be unreasonable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Roque Contreras G La película es muy famosa por la toma de Marilyn en los ductores del tren, pero la película la calificaría como tragicomedia, ya que va más allá de una película de comedia, tiene trama, y si tiene chismes estadounidenses, pero en si, la trama se siente romántica, amor no correspondido, el personaje de Richard teniendo alucinaciones hace que de verdad sintamos lo que esta viviendo, me encantó la película, por su ya famosa escena, sus personajes, es comedia, drama, romance de las 50' Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 1.75 hours ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Charles F A great romantic comedy, Marilyn is so charming. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review tonton d a man with imagination and no wings..

      Delmore Schwartz The New Republic Despite the script's cleverness, the presence of Tom Ewell, who is a first rate comedian and Oscar Homolka, who has long been a first rate actor, the entire film continually misses fire and fizzles out, like defective fireworks. Jan 23, 2013 Full Review David Parkinson Empire Magazine Very dated and not consistently funny but famous for the iconic Marilyn air-vent shot and a close to the under-wire smuttiness. Rated: 3/5 Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Variety Staff Variety What counts is that laughs come thick and fast, that the general entertainment is light and gay. Aug 15, 2007 Full Review George N. Fenin Film Culture The Seven Year Itch is another step down in the career of the talented director. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins There are chuckles to be found, though they're not as memorable as Monroe's costume changes or the iconic sequence in which she stands over subway vents in a white gown. Rated: 6/10 Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator This is a wonderful comedy performance. So too, somewhat surprisingly, is Marilyn Monroe's.
