The scene where Marilyn Monroe's dress blows up is one of the most iconic of her career. It was filmed on Lexington between 52nd and 53rd streets. The area located here is probably the site.

Description


The Seven Year Itch
The Seven Year Itch is a 1955 American romantic comedy film based on a 1952 three-act play with the same name by George Axelrod. The film was co-written and directed by Billy Wilder, and stars Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell, reprising his Broadway role from the play. It contains one of the most notable images of the 20th century – Monroe standing on a subway grate as her white dress[1] is blown upwards by a passing train. The titular phrase, which refers to declining interest in a monogamous relationship after seven years of marriage, has been used by psychologists.[2]
