The promise of Something's Got to Give began in 1962, with the hope for salvaging Twentieth Century Fox, as well as launching of a new kind of Marilyn Monroe. The movie started off with great promise for the studio, and ended in a crash and burn nightmare, culminating in the shocking death of its star. Like its prescient title, the production is rich with the excesses of stardom and the demands placed on celebrity. 'Something Gives' goes behind the scenes of Monroe's last film and final days.



As movies make their way to the big screen things sometimes go awry. In some cases the work ends up on a cutting-room floor with viewers never having a chance to see the final product.

The films themselves were never completed because the challenges became too great to overcome.t
