Summary: The Seven Year Itch

> Meta jokes have been in the movies since the 1920's.

My favorite is the line in Seven Year Itch.
The main character implies that his friend should mind his own
business about the woman that he has been seen with by saying
something to the effect of:
"What difference does it make who she is? She could be Marilyn
Monroe."
The character of the woman had no name in the movie, but the actress
who played the part *was* Marilyn Monroe.
