Marilyn Monroe Tom Ewell

Plot

A married man is tempted by the woman upstairs.

Sinekatalog’s take

Billy Wilder's comedy has Marilyn Monroe's subway-grate scene and a husband's daydreams. Light and cheeky, it is a bit dated, but Monroe's charm and Wilder's wit still make it entertaining.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
