Synopsis
In a style very
billy-wilderien , the film begin with a sequence at the Indians Algonquins who gave the name
Manhattan to this famous island of
New York: a few hundred years ago, the warriors bid their farewell with their wives and children who leave for fresher areas during the hot summer dayss summer.
Richard Sherman, a person in charge in a small house of edition specialized in (D) the cheap editions with arousing covers, accompanied his Helen wife and his Ricky son at the station for the same reasons: those leave the New Yorkean furnace to go in the Maine much more accessible in summer. Hardly separate, sensual temptations
are already present and menaçantes, but Richard promises himself never to succumb to it, like besides with alcohol and the cigarette, according to recommendation of his wife. He returns at his place and,
obviously , becomes acquainted with one young woman to the foolish beauty, a model in the publicity which moved in the apartment of the neighbors of the top. Not, it will not yield to temptation, is repeated he. Richard is a man with which gallops imagination and conceives thus full with scenarios, for example to reveal with his wife his capacity of seduction or to charm this new neighbor. Thanks to this imagination of spirit, it gives itself also good reasons to act. Of needle and thread, of a first go to the following, a relation with irresistible the Starlette can engage…
Some characters, colourful like one says it, come to disturb either his intentions or his bad conscience. For example Dr. Brubaker, author of a study entitled " Of the man and his subconscient" (that the editor wants to re-elect " Sex and violence" , with the relating to it cover), delivers in which Richard discovers - welcome excuse - that many men in their seventh year of marriage pass by a process of inaccuracy sporadic named " the itching of the seventh année" (namely
The seven year itch ). Or Kruhulik, the caretaker come to seek a carpet to clean. And Tom MacKenzie, a knowledge of the family which could allure the woman of Richard well.
