    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Dean Martin had a clause in his contract for "Something's Got to Give" that gave him approval of his co-star. When 20th Century-Fox famously fired Marilyn Monroe and tried to replace her with Lee Remick, Martin balked and insisted Marilyn be re-hired. Just days before Monroe's death from a drug overdose, Fox relented and agreed to resume production with Marilyn. It is not known if Monroe was aware of this when she took her own life.

    Never lovelier.
    Something's Got to Give was Marilyn Monroe's last and uncompleted film. Though the film is a light comedy, it nevertheless showed Marilyn as a sensitive woman and mother seeing her children for the first time in five years. The film would not have been great, but it would have shown Marilyn after a nearly two year absence from the screen. The footage shows her to be ethereally beautiful and by no means the drug-hazed woman some depicted her to be at the time. When she was on the screen, the other actors simply did not matter. Though The Misfits might have been a more substantial film, this viewer held his breath at the final glimpse of his most favorite star, one Marilyn Monroe.
