PROBLEM: Fact1: Richard Sherman is nerdy faithful middle-aged publishing executive with overactive imagination and mid-life crisis, Fact2: overactive imagination and Helen and son are spending summer in Maine, Fact3: commercial actress and former model rents apartment to make television spots for brand of toothpaste, Fact4: Richard invites her for drink, Fact5: fantasies causing them to fall off piano bench

SOLUTION: Richard Sherman Tom Ewell is a nerdy, faithful, middleaged publishing executive with an overactive imagination and a midlife crisis, whose wife, Helen Evelyn Keyes, and son, Ricky Butch Bernard, are spending the summer in Maine. When he returns home with the kayak paddle Ricky accidentally left behind, he meets a woman Marilyn Monroe, who is a commercial actress and former model who rents the apartment upstairs while in town to make television spots for a brand of toothpaste. That evening, he works on reading the manuscript of a book in which psychiatrist Dr. Brubaker Oskar Homolka claims that almost all men are driven to have extramarital affairs in the seventh year of marriage. Sherman has an imaginary conversation with Helen, trying to convince her, in three fantasy sequences, that he is irresistible to women, including his secretary, a nurse, and Helens bridesmaid, but she laughs it off. A tomato plant then crashes into his lounge chair; the woman upstairs apologizes for accidentally knocking it off the balcony, and Richard invites her down for a drink. He waits for her to get dressed, including in underwear she says she keeps cool in her icebox. When she arrives, a vision in pink, they have a drink and he lies about being married. When she sees his wedding ring, he backtracks but she is unconcerned, having no designs on him, only on his airconditioning. He has a fantasy that she is a femme fatale overcome by his playing of Rachmaninoffs Second Piano Concerto. In reality, she prefers Chopsticks, which they play together. Richard, overcome by his fantasies, awkwardly grabs at her, causing them to fall off the piano bench. He apologizes for his indiscretion but she says it happens to her all the time. Guiltridden, however, he asks her to leave. Over the next few days, they spend more time together and Richard imagines that they are growing closer, although she is immune to his imagined charms. Helen continually calls her husband, asking him to send the paddle so Ricky can use the kayak, but Richard is repeatedly distracted. His waning resolve to resist temptation fuels his fear that he is succumbing to the Seven Year Itch. He seeks help from Dr. Brubaker, but to no avail. His imagination then runs even wilder: the young woman tells a visiting plumber Victor Moore how Richard is just like The Creature from the Black Lagoon; the plumber repeats her story to neighbor McKenzie, whom Helen had asked to drop by to pick up Rickys paddle. Richard imagines his wife with McKenzie on a hayride which actually takes place but into which he injects his paranoia, guilt and jealousy. After seeing The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the young woman stands over the subway grate to experience the breeze Monroe in the iconic scene in the pleated white halter dress, blowing her skirt in the wind. Eventually coming to his senses, and fearing his wifes retribution, which he imagines in a fantasy scene, Richard, paddle in hand, tells the young woman she can stay in his apartment; then he runs off to catch the next train to Maine to be with Helen and Ricky.

PROBLEM: Fact1: American soldier Sergeant David Brent is himself wounded while hunting down and killing sniper in German city, Fact2: SS set up artillery observation post in Helga 's building, Fact3: David returns to city and Helga despite being warned by commanding officer, Fact4: parents were killed by Allied bombs news to him, Fact5: Bruno is member on regaining control of Germany

SOLUTION: Near the end of World War II in Europe, American soldier Sergeant David Brent James Best loses two men and is himself wounded while hunting down and killing a sniper in a German city. He falls unconscious in front of a young German woman, Helga Schiller Susan Cummings. When he awakes, he finds that she has tended his wound rather than killing him. She also protects him from her bitter younger brother, Franz Harold Daye. When the SS set up an artillery observation post in Helgas building, she hides David to prove she is not a Nazi. Later, the Americans capture the city, and David is sent to a hospital. After Germany surrenders, David returns to the city and marries Helga, despite being warned by his commanding officer. Because American soldiers are verboten forbidden to fraternize with German women, he resigns from the Army and goes to work in the Food Office of the Military Government. One day, Helga spots a friend, returning German soldier Bruno Eckhart Tom Pittman. She breaks the news to him that his parents were killed by Allied bombs and his girlfriend committed suicide because she mistakenly believed the Russians were coming. Bruno congratulates her on landing someone she herself calls her American goldmine. She persuades David to vouch for him, which enables Bruno to get one of the scarce good jobs, as a policeman. What neither Helga nor David know is that Bruno is a member of Werwolf, a Nazi organization bent on regaining control of Germany, beginning with sabotage and sneak attacks. Bruno uses his position to infiltrate other Werwolf members into the government and becomes their leader. Franz also joins the organization. When a food shipment is hijacked by Werwolf, the German civilians blame the Americans and demonstrate in front of the building where David works. David is fired after he foolishly attacks their spokesman and is pummeled by the mob. Bruno turns David against Helga, even though she is pregnant, by telling the American that she married him only for the food and shelter he could provide. When David confronts Helga, she admits that it was true to begin with, but that she eventually fell in love with him; he does not believe her and storms out. Meanwhile, Franzs conscience begins troubling him after he witnesses an incident at Brunos secret Werwolf headquarters in a railroad boxcar. After a Werwolf bitterly protests against the theft of medicine intended for the German people, Bruno stabs him to death. When Franz has a nightmare about the murder, Helga discovers that he is part of Werwolf. Determined to show him the error of his ways, she takes him to the first session of the Nuremberg Trials. Horrified by what he learns, he reveals what he knows, enabling the Americans to smash the Werwolf operation in the area. Upon learning what Helga did, David reconciles with her. Franz goes to the boxcar to retrieve an invaluable list of Werwolf members, but is caught in the act by Bruno. In the ensuing struggle, Franz manages to knock Bruno out, but is trapped inside when the boxcar catches fire. David rushes in and rescues his brotherinlaw.

PROBLEM: Fact1: film opens with montage of images of Manhattan and other parts of New York City accompanied by George Gershwin 's Rhapsody in Blue, Fact2: Isaac Davis narrating drafts of introduction to book about man, Fact3: Isaac is twice-divorced 42-year-old television comedy writer dealing with women in life, Fact4: best friend married to Emily is having affair with Mary Wilkie, Fact5: Jill has come out of closet as lesbian

SOLUTION:
The film opens with a montage of images of Manhattan and other parts of New York City accompanied by George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, with Isaac Davis Woody Allen narrating drafts of an introduction to a book about a man who loves the city. Isaac is a twicedivorced, 42yearold television comedy writer dealing with the women in his life who quits his unfulfilling job. He is dating Tracy Mariel Hemingway, a 17yearold girl attending the Dalton School. His best friend, college professor Yale Pollack Michael Murphy, married to Emily Anne Byrne, is having an affair with Mary Wilkie Diane Keaton. Marys exhusband and former teacher, Jeremiah Wallace Shawn, also appears, and Isaacs exwife Jill Davis Meryl Streep is writing a confessional book about their marriage. Jill has also since come out of the closet as a lesbian and lives with her partner, Connie Karen Ludwig. When Isaac meets Mary, her cultural snobbery rubs him the wrong way. Isaac runs into her again at an Equal Rights Amendment fundraising event at the Museum of Modern Art hosted by Bella Abzug playing herself and accompanies her on a cab ride home. They chat until sunrise in a sequence that culminates in the iconic shot of the Queensboro Bridge. In spite of a growing attraction to Mary, Isaac continues his relationship with Tracy but emphasizes that theirs cannot be a serious relationship and encourages her to go to London to study acting. In another iconic scene, at Tracys request, they go on a carriage ride through Central Park. After Yale breaks up with Mary, he suggests that Isaac ask her out. Isaac does, always having felt that Tracy was too young for him. Isaac breaks up with Tracy, much to her dismay, and before long, Mary has virtually moved into his apartment. Emily is curious about Isaacs new girlfriend. The two couples enjoy a day out and upon walking down a street Isaac spots Jills new book Marriage, Divorce, and Selfhood. Emily proceeds to read passages of the book, and even discusses an incident covered in the book of a menage a trois Isaac had with Jill and another woman, and an incident where Isaac attempted to run Connie over, much to Mary and Yales amusement. Thoroughly humiliated, Isaac confronts Jill, who stoically responds about the book, and the film rights deal she has acquired. Upon returning home, Isaac learns from Mary that she is returning to Yale and wants to break up. A betrayed Isaac confronts Yale at the college where he teaches, and Yale argues that he found Mary first. Isaac responds by discussing Yales extramarital affairs with Emily, but Yale told her that Isaac introduced Mary to him. In the denouement, Isaac lies on his sofa, musing into a tape recorder about the things that make life worth living. When he finds himself saying Tracys face, he sets down the microphone. He leaves his apartment and sets out on foot for Tracys. He arrives at the lobby of her familys apartment just as she is leaving for London. He says that she does not have to go and that he does not want that thing about her that he likes to change. She replies that the plans have already been made and reassures him that not everybody gets corrupted before saying you have to have a little faith in people. He gives her a slight smile, with a final coy look to the camera then segueing into final shots of the skyline with some bars of Rhapsody in Blue playing again. An instrumental version of Embraceable You plays over the credits.
