An action-packed slog

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Marvelous. Although this is an unfinished film, this 37 minute-excerpt of this wonderful 1962 film 'Something's Got To Give', is a very interesting story, that, unfortunately went to be the uncompleted and it was the last appearance (on film screen) of Marilyn Monroe.At 36, she still was the sexiest, beautiful and big actress woman ever. In this film, that glimpse with the kids, something, that she, in real life, was unable to have, gave her and to this film a very special feeling and beauty.And of course, the temperature raises to the most hotness, in that beautiful, wonderful, sexy scene, diving nude, completely nude, showing that she was (and still is) the sexiest woman ever, and that she still have a gorgeous, excellent, sculptural body.So much tensions and angry and financial problems, and of course, Marilyn's sickness and 'addiction' to the sleepy pills causing her (i believe accidentally) death, and of course, her trademark to getting late, caused the film get unfinished, and get replaced, but then Dean Martin didn't want with no other than Marilyn and the film stopped, but later she was re-hired to get back on October, but she died unfortunately.But thanks to those that wanted the film, it was restored and put on a 37-minute segment.Enjoy it! You would love to see Marilyn one last time. ;)

Considering everything that was happening in Marilyn's life, the footage they have restored and put together is for me her best performance, she wasn't made to speak in a wispery voice that she usually did, but in her own naturally soft and sweet voice. She plays a grown up women with children, not a stupid blonde. Her weight is at her lowest in this DVD and she looks absolutely smashing and elegant. I am very sad that they weren't able to complete the film for it would definitely have been a success. And just for the record Marilyn was supposed to film her nude scene in a skin coloured bikini but she took it off and filmed it nude.As a conclusion, its a very interesting and touching DVD if you want to know the truth about the legend's final days from those who knew her.

Marilyn Monroe. Two words that sum up all that is bright, shining and glamorous about 50s Hollywood. No other actress in the history of cinema has the iconic status of Norma Jean Baker and it's doubtful anyone else will.Something's Got to Give was Marilyn's final film effort, an incomplete bedroom comedy in the vein that Doris Day would later make famous. The fact that Marilyn died part way through production makes the footage here extremely interesting for Monroe fans. In fact, from what is left of the film we get a good idea of what the finished product might have been like and had it not been for the untimely death of its lead, it is doubtful whether it would have been of much interest. What does exist leads one to believe that this would have been a rather weak, lifeless 'comedy' made on the cheap and intended to cash in on Monroe's box office clout to make Fox a buck or two at a time when the studio was in financial dire straits.However, it is open to conjecture what SGTG would have been had it been completed. What does exist is some of the most exquisite footage of Monroe we have. After looking somewhat bloated and tired in her previous couple of movies, here Monroe is svelte, her figure is gorgeous and her hair and make-up are a dream. Again, Monroe was breaking new ground by ditching the curvy, hour glass look of the 50s and paving the way for the sleek, slim line figure of the 60s which Audrey Hepburn popularised.However, Monroe was not to finish the movie and so what we are left with are some rather pretty snap shots of her in her final months of life. Although it was a terrible waste that she died, Monroe to me typifies the 50s and therefore the 60s weren't really her territory. Although how she may have redefined the era is anyone's guess. Something did give and unfortunately it was Monroe herself.

What a wonderful treat to watch this little gem of unfinished footage of a stunningly beautiful Monroe, looking a little out of sorts (according to "The Final Days" account - she was quite ill at the time) but quite in control of her faculties and looking quite stunning and very very thin! All of her scene's with Martin, Charisse, the children and the dog are excellent and it's hard to imagine the behind-the-scene's tensions that were actually going on. An enormous tragedy that the film wasn't finished so that Monroe would move onto meatier roles like she'd envisioned for herself. Just weeks before her suspicious death, she had signed an agreement to return to the set to finish the picture and had a three picture deal ahead of her - making suicide highly unlikely.But back to the film: Dean Martin, handsome and charming as always, sparring excellently with her and appearing the true professional he reportedly was on set.I wish so much that this was easier to get, but finally getting a copy of this was a dream come true for I'd read so much on the making of this film.For any doubters that Miss Monroe couldn't act, check this out and appreciate the 37 minutes of 'treasure'. I gave this 10/10.
