Josue Adan Gallardo 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. ;)
wheelerconnie Marilyn was misunderstood...she only wanted to be loved as a person. She will forever be my idol and the purest of purity. She was all love. And all she wanted out of life was to be loved...unconditionally. But she never found the answer that society wanted. She tried...she loved...and it was not accepted by the "right" people. God Bless her forever; she was a true angel - even if she never felt this way. God Bless her...I don't know why she died - suicide or murder - but she is gone and the legend she has left is so powerful for me. I can not comment for others, just for myself and I feel her presentance most daily. She is the icon of beauty, intelligence, and sadness, and happiness (briefly through her life) that keeps me stable and wondering about society as it is today and yesterday. Why can't we all be loved and cherished as individuals as we are today. We all have the right to shine; as the stars in the sky.........
Marc 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.
BumpyRide I think we're all very fortunate to have had even a glimpse of the most famous movie never made. My biggest hope with the ever expanding use of computer graphics, at some point in time, this movie could be "completed." Maybe a little over budget, and released 42 years later, but released nonetheless! Wouldn't it be wild to be able to create new movies using all of the old great stars? I agree with other reviewers that Marilyn looks wonderful as always and slimmed down from her previous movie. Of course one can't rate her performance using clips and snippets of remaining footage. But there should be much more in the can with the remainder of the cast. I often heard their scenes were shot, and then re-shot when Marilyn would not show up for days on end. Whatever the case might be, we're fortunate to have seen her final efforts on film.
