Certainly, as The Girl who causes the distractions, Marilyn Monroe (above in a close-up of a sequence shot in New York) has her best role to date in "The Seven Year Itch.” George Azelrod, who wrote the stage hit, and Billy Wilder who is directing and co-producing with Charles K. Feldman, collaborated on the screenplay. In describing the role Miss Monroe plays, The New York Times’ able critic, Brooks Atkinson, characterized it as "the girl upstairs who is studying to be a trollop.” But, while Marilyn and Tom Ewell are the principal participants in this mirthful history of a confused, middle-aged husband and a pretty neighbor "on the make,” Messrs. Wilder and Feldman have lined up a correspondingly fine cast to support diem. Evelyn Keys plays the vacationing spouse of the summer bachelor, a character with a keen though irrational imagination who, while he frightens himself almost to death when he contemplates the possible consequences of infidelity, also imagines that she is more suspectible than she should be to the fawning admiration of a friend of the family. Sonny Tufts plays that friend of the family. Others in featured roles include Roxanne, famed TV star; Marguerite Chapman, Victor Moore, Dorothy Ford, Carolyn Jones, Joyce Corbin, the New York American League Yankees’ Yogi Berra and Ed Lopat.
