Introduced by Barry Norman.
Starring Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell

Billy Wilder's screen version of George Axelrod's famous comedy firmly established Marilyn as a major star and sex symbol. She displays an enormous talent for comedy as the 'Girl' who rents an apartment upstairs from a middle-aged business executive and who innocently becomes the object of his sexual fantasies. Tom Ewell is at his deadpan best as the grass widower with the 'itch' for infidelity.
