Quando la moglie è in vacanza

La storia

È il desiderio del settimo anno. Rimasto solo in casa (la famiglia è in villeggiatura), funzionario editoriale è messo a dura prova dalla procace e svampita vicina di casa. Resisterà la sua virtù? Commedia satirica sulle ossessioni erotiche dell'americano medio con cui Wilder traccia una feroce critica del consumismo e dei miti del mezzo secolo sulla scorta di una commedia (1952) di George Axelrod di cui mantiene l'impianto teatrale, pur facendone il film più metacinematografico della sua carriera con frequenti citazioni e rimandi parodistici ad altri film. Una delle migliori interpretazioni di M. Monroe.
