About this event

Becoming a member of the Capitol Circle means taking pride in supporting your local arts community and commitment to the well-being of the Capitol Theatre. 1955—Billy Wilder, director—starring Tom Ewell, Marilyn Monroe, Evelyn Keyes The only significant award with which The Seven Year Itch was recognized was a Golden Globe for Best Actor (Motion Picture Musical or Comedy) won by its star Tom Ewell, reprising his role in George Axelrod’s hit Broadway play. Ewell is marvelous in the film; but you can be forgiven if your attention is wholly captured by Marilyn Monroe—everyone else’s was! Another in her series of immortal sexpot roles, this one is forever associated with the iconic image of her white dress billowing up above her legs in the draft from the NYC subway grating. Comedy master Billy Wilder directed from the screenplay he co-wrote with playwright Axelrod.
