Richard Sherman sends his wife and son to the country for the summer, while he stays in the city to work. Soon, a quirky, voluptuous blonde moves in upstairs. It's a hot night, and Sherman invites the unnamed girl to the movies. They go to the Trans Lux on 52nd & Lexington. As they're leaving, a draft blows up from a subway vent, and the girl's skirt billows. "Isn't it delicious?" she says. |

Some of the skirt-blowing scene was filmed in a Hollywood studio, but some of it was filmed on location, in midtown Manhattan. |

You can see the grate on the SW corner of Lexington Avenue and 52nd Street. |

My rudimentary archaeological skills tell me that the concrete around this vent was poured fairly recently- it makes me think the original vent has probably been replaced. |

Huge crowds showed up despite the fact that they were filming in the middle of the night. All of the buildings that you can see in this image are gone. |

My favorite line was cut by the censors:
Girl: "Don't you wish you had a skirt? I feel so sorry for you in those hot pants..." |
