Vintage black and white studio publicity photograph featuring legendary Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe alongside actor Tom Ewell in a passionate scene from the celebrated 1955 romantic comedy The Seven Year Itch. The photograph captures Monroe and Ewell in a dramatic embrace, with Monroe leaning backward as Ewell holds her closely, creating a striking cinematic composition that reflects the romantic tension and playful fantasy central to the film.
Monroe appears wearing a fitted, sleeveless dress, her signature platinum blonde curls framing her face as she tilts her head backward. Ewell, portraying Richard Sherman, wears a dark suit jacket and embraces Monroe in an elaborately furnished apartment interior. The dramatic lighting, expressive body language, and carefully staged setting capture the distinctive visual style of mid-century Hollywood filmmaking.
Directed by Billy Wilder and adapted from George Axelrod's successful Broadway play, The Seven Year Itch was released by 20th Century Fox in 1955. The film remains one of Monroe's most recognizable screen appearances and a celebrated example of Hollywood romantic comedy.
The photograph retains its original printed lower margin identifying the image as a scene from the 20th Century Fox production The Seven Year Itch. Studio production reference number 910-33 appears within the image, accompanied by an additional identification marking along the right border. The reverse features handwritten archival inventory notations and remnants of earlier mounting materials, adding historical interest to this vintage publicity photograph.
An attractive addition to collections of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, Tom Ewell photography, original Hollywood motion picture stills, vintage studio publicity photographs, and classic American cinema collectibles.
