Manhattan in midsummer. Those who can, spend this time of sweltering heat and high temperatures outside the city in cooler places. Only those who need to earn money stay behind. This includes publishing salesman Richard Sherman, who sends his wife and son to the country and is looking forward to a few quiet weeks without his family. Then he meets the attractive neighbor (Marilyn Monroe) who has just moved in, and all his good intentions are shaken, because this woman's erotic charisma is simply irresistible... An erotic comedy by Billy Wilder based on the Broadway hit of the same name with Marilyn Monroe in a starring role.

"From the moment she enters the stage in a garment that envelops her shapely figure as if it had been molded to her body, the famous film star with the silver-blonde curls and the innocent wide-eyed look conveys a certain effect. And this effect dominates the movie. It is - well, why define it? Miss Monroe is clearly playing the title role." (Bosley Crowther, New York Times 1955)
