A clerk left alone in the city because his family has gone on vacation becomes increasingly attracted to his sexy blonde neighbor. Eventually, however, he becomes frightened of the possible consequences and runs away to join his wife.
A torrid summer night in 1955, in New York. Wife and children at the beach. While Manhattan's temporary bachelors simply swarm around chasing real women, the small-time editor of bad literature Tom Ewell invents Marilyn Monroe just for himself, carefully nurturing her sumptuous, caressing, and alien image. A big toe stuck in the bathtub faucet, amid clouds of foam and flashes of bare skin. A white pleated dress lifted by the subway wind (in the two takes edited by Wilder, less generous and voyeuristic than it appears in the set photos), a masterpiece by Billy Travilla, costume designer for Fox. Surreal concreteness, construction of the archetype: she has no name, she is simply 'The Girl'. (Paola Cristalli)
