Marilyn Monroe shoots The Seven Year Itch subway-grate scene
In the early hours of 15 September 1954, Monroe and Billy Wilder's crew filmed the famous dress-lift sequence at Lexington Avenue and East 52nd Street. Fourteen takes were made with a crowd gathered around the corner; because the street sound and crowd overwhelmed production, the film's close-ups were later recreated on a California soundstage. The New York corner is therefore the real-world shoot site, not a claim that every finished frame was photographed here.
