With his family away for their annual summer holiday, New Yorker Richard Sherman decides he has the opportunity to live a bachelor's life--to eat and drink what he wants and basically enjoy life without his wife and son. The beautiful but ditzy blonde from the apartment above his catches his eye and they start spending time together. It's all innocent, but there's little doubt that Sherman is attracted to her. However any lust he feels is played out in his own imagination.

Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor by Sergei Rachmaninoff is featured on a record in the apartment and heavily referenced in the character's fantasy sequences.
Based on Axelrod's 1952 play, the film stars Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell. It contains one of the most iconic pop culture images of the 20th century, in the form of Monroe standing on a subway grate as her white dress is blown upwards by a passing train
The Seven Year Itch was filmed between September and November 1954 and is Wilder's only film released by 20th Century-Fox. Many lines and scenes from the play were cut or re-written because they were deemed indecent by the Hays office.
The depiction of Monroe over the grate has been compared to a similar event in the 1901 short film What Happened on Twenty-third Street, New York City.
