Billy
Wilder’s
romantic
comedy
starred
Tom
Ewell
as
a
frustrated
publisher
of
pulp
fiction,
whose
wife
and
children
escaped
the
Manhattan
summer
heat
for
Maine.
Left
alone
in
the
simmering
city,
he
befriends
his
upstairs
neighbor,
played
by
Monroe
in
one
of
her
defining
roles
as
a
ditzy
glamour
model.
For
the
subway
scene,
the
unlikely
couple
had
just
been
to
the
Trans-Lux
theatre
on
Lexington,
to
see
the
“Creature
from
the
Black
Lagoon.”
Hearing
an
approaching
subway
train,
Monroe
stepped
onto
the
grate,
having
her
skirt
blown
high
by
the
train
passing
underneath,
saying
“ooh
do
you
feel
the
breeze
from
the
subway,
isn’t
it
delicious.”
Minds
across
the
country
were
simultaneously
blown.
