One of the most famous scenes in the history of film is that of Marilyn Monroe as she enjoys the cool breeze coming from an air vent on a hot summer day as it sends her dress flying in the air. It sent fans and critics crazy (for different reasons) and it has been seen a million times and imitated a million more. The offered studio photograph for the film "The Seven Year Itch" captures this iconic moment as Marilyn laughs and holds her dress down. The photo is a perfect example with tons of age to it and we feel this is vintage to the 1950's despite being blank backed. The photo has some editorial markings from publication but it looks great.
