A lighthearted, playful film about seduction, fantasy, and the human tendency to daydream about “what if.” Director Billy Wilder knows better than anyone how to combine humor and subtlety, resulting in a timeless classic full of sharp dialogue.
In this iconic film, we follow Richard Sherman, a respectable publisher who spends the summer alone in New York while his family is on vacation. When a seductive and mysterious neighbor moves into the apartment above him, his orderly life is soon hilariously thrown into disarray.
With her irresistible charm and legendary presence, Marilyn Monroe steals the show in a role that made film history. Think of that famous scene above the ventilation grate—an image that captures the imagination to this day.
