The Seven Year Itch (1955)

20101029:
This is the first movie I've ever seen starring Marilyn Monroe.

20160716:
By now I've also seen There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) and Some Like It Hot (1959).

Richard Sherman and The Girl

But considering she's been in several movies, many of which have appeared on Netflix, I've hardly seen any (three movies over six years).

In any case, I didn't remember how the movie ended, but I definitely liked the ending.

2:Mentions the portrait of Dorian Gray, references novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.

1:The title comes in at the hour.
1:For the second time... oh I know now, the kid that says "Mommy mommy" reminds me of the kid from "I Love Lucy." That kid would occasionally say "Mommy mommy."
