On the occasion of the 100th anniversary this year of the birth of Marilyn Monroe, the HAU Movie Club presents the classic, timeless 1955 comedy "The Seven Year Itch"
This is one of the most iconic films of Hollywood’s Golden Age, humorously and insightfully portraying the fantasies, insecurities, and temptations of a married man who remains alone in summer-time New York after meeting his new upstairs neighbor.
The film stars Marilyn Monroe in one of the most emblematic performances of her career—an appearance that left an indelible mark on pop culture and film history. The movie is based on the successful Broadway play of the same name. With witty dialogue, light irony, and unforgettable scenes, "The Seven Year Itch" remains to this day a landmark of romantic comedy.
