starstarstarstarstarDaryl Hannah's seven-year tease
Memorable for the movie version, in which Marilyn Monroe experienced difficulty with her skirt, The Seven Year Itch began as a play in 1953. It remains fixed in that decade in its psychology, humour, stagecraft, and, most of all, in Michael Radford's polished but dreary production. Radford's idea of a joke is not to recreate the notorious skirt-raising scene, but to have Daryl Hannah's Girl undo her top and lean against a fan. Like everything else in this production, it is just a tease. - Lyn Gardner
