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.
