CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

arsportsltd Hard to understand when seeing what was completed of Somethings Got To Give why 20th Century Fox fired Marilyn Monroe from this Movie; Marilyn is Magnficent. Looking better than she had in years and in fantastic shape, -witness the nude pool scene, daring for its day, Marilyn Monroe was giving one of her best performances! I guess that is why 20th after offering the role to Kim Novak who refused out of respect to Monroe and then to Doris Day and Shirley MacLaine both of whom refused the part, 20th finally cast Lee Remick who accepted ( only to have Dean Martin refuse Lee Remick as a co star) did 20th do the inevitable and re hire Ms. Monroe, and at 5 times her initial salary!When Marilyn Monroe was fired it was reported -likely leaked by 20th- that MM was acting as if in a daze but from the scenes of film I have seen MM was anything but! Looking beautiful and acting in a clear concise manner, I saw the magic of George Cukor's direction. This movie would have been a big big hit for 20th and Marilyn Monroe. Dean Martin was a great leading Man and Cyd Charrisse sexy and wonderful as Dean's second "wife". Wally Cox, John McGiver were great too!There were stars and then there were superstars and then there was Marilyn Monroe! Forever FantasticDavid Barra Los Angeles

liberalcajun This may have turned out to be Marilyn Monroe's best film. I remember when it was being made in the spring of 1962. There were some pictures of her on the set in Life Magazine . She was with George Cukor on that set by the pool. She looked awesome. I had seen her in the 'Misfits' in 1961 and thought she was becoming a real serious actress. Marilyn had been excellent in 'Some Like It Hot'. Her singing voice was great . After 20th Century Fox fired her in June no one ever thought she would be dead a few months later. It hurts to see the out-takes of her with Wally Cox at her 36th(and last) birthday party on June 1, 1962 as they left the 'Something's Got To Give ' set for the final time. I was pleased to see that someone finally found all that film that they used to put together the 37 minute version of 'Something's Got To Give' for that special on 'Marilyn's Final Days'. The saddest part is the last shot of her and Dean Martin talking and then you hear the voice of George Cukor (the director) shout " Cut " then the picture just fades away....and the titles say "In memory of : Marilyn Monroe , Dean Martin and George Cukor " .........Maybe someday some ambitious young film buff will piece together enough material from 20th Century Fox cans and cans of film from all those 'takes' to finish the film.....John in Louisiana........

robertinlosangeles This could have been one quite-good movie. AMC assembled the footage that was shot prior to MM's death-- but if you're reading this, chances are you know this-- and from every indication, it could have turned out to be an enjoyable sex farce, perhaps a groundbreaking one, as it pushed the envelope just a little further.First, Monroe looked great in the tests as well as in the completed footage. She could get her act together if handled right. Second, and this fact cannot be overlooked, she was playing a MOTHER-- of children-- for the first time. And a sexy, mid-30s mother at that! Way back in 1962, 40-odd years before "Desperate Housewives," sexy moms were unheard of. Nobody considered that a woman was still a woman, even after having a kid or two. Second, "Something's Got To Give" had a great cast. Both Dean Martin and Cyd Charisse were perfect as the other two angles in this screwball triangle, Martin quite convincing as a comic suburban dad and Charisse exemplary as Monroe's sexual foil. And the cameos from comedians ranging from Wally Cox to Steve Allen only added to the parfait.But above and beyond Monroe and the casting, "SGTG" had George Cukor at the helm. Cukor knew a few things about comedy and could bring a presence to any film bearing his directorial touch. He knew what makes things funny. Think the Tracy-Hepburn classics. Think "The Women." Think "What Price Hollywood." No, DON'T think "My Fair Lady" nor "A Star Is Born."There's talk about finishing this film digitally. Just one question: why? Unless someone can digitally resurrect George Cukor from the grave, there'd be no point.Something's got to give? Something DID give, damn it. Marilyn Monroe gave into her demons, and what might have been a new start for Monroe's career as we witnessed maturing sexuality never got a chance.

icet2004 this movie is enchanting.Marilyn Monroe was more beautiful than in any other film.Soundtrack was good.Frank Sinatra was definitely good singer.actors were pretty good.it was without a doubt Marilyn's last word.this film was antiquated.no doubt this movie was viewable,but not something special.it was unfinished business, then it could been great.i completely understand why some guys here don't like this movie it's very antiquated,but it was a little bit disappointment,but not bad.Marilyn Monroe definitely awesome actress i like her film "Some Like It Hot" i recommend to watch it only to fans "Something's Got to Give".it's not good movie,but not bad too.
