directed by Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, USA 1955, 105 min., colour, DCP, original version with Italian subtitles

After packing the family off on vacation, a husband feels an irresistible attraction for his sexy blonde neighbour, in this timeless comedy targeting the average American male’s ‘respectability’ and erotic yearnings. In a manner at once amusing and laughable, Wilder critiques the sexual fantasies of the whimsical and boastful bourgeois male who is simply asking for his erotic obsessions to be frustrated. Such legendary scenes as the gust of air from the subway lifting Marilyn Monroe’s dress propelled her into the universal imagination as the very prototype of sensuality.
