that long, hot summer
Sometimes I channel surf the television behind me while I sit at this desk and browse TOTV. (My chair spins around. I am such a multi-tasker.)
Anyway, I had just spotted this thread about this long, cool summer we are having in so many places, when my remote landed on an old movie....
"The Seven Year Itch"
If you know the movie, you know it was a long, hot summer in NYC. And just as my remote hit the channel, Tom Ewell was inviting Marilyn Monroe to come into his apartment just to cool off.
Poor Marilyn was soooo hot and she had been telling him all about how difficult that had been for her, and Tom Ewell, being the perfect gentleman, wellllll what else can he do? He has no choice but to come to the rescue of Marilyn, the hot damsel in distress. She has no air conditioning in her apartment.
Tom Ewell goes on and on a bit while they are standing out in the hall. He tells Marilyn how important he believes it is to have air conditioning in every room. He says air conditioning is necessary, even if you have to sell the kids' bonds to get it. (What a line, huh.)
Just think, if the summer had been this cool in 1955 "The Seven Year Itch" might never have been.
