In which film did Marilyn Monroe wear her iconic and famous billowing white dress?

One of the most iconic photos of Marilyn Monroe features her in a billowing white ivory cocktail halter dress standing on top of a subway grate with air blowing the skirt up. You’ve seen it on posters, coffee mugs, t-shirts, and more, but did you know it wasn’t an image from a modeling shoot?

It was a scene from “The Seven Year Itch”, directed by Billy Wilder. The 1955 romantic comedy also starred Tom Ewell. Ewell’s character is a businessman who is spending the summer home while his wife and son are vacationing. He fantasizes about the beautiful actress who rented the upstairs apartment, played by the sexy Monroe.
