Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
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. ;)
herbalgal24 What could possibly be the reason they never completed Marilyn's last movie? I was only 10 yrs old when she died. I know my mother took it really bad. Maybe because there was so much controversy on just how she died, they didn't think it was appropriate to give her that much fame. I think she just wanted to be loved, and I don't think that is a crime. If you can never find true love, just what is the reason for living? I really think people should be able to see her last film. How could we not be allowed to see her last film, when she was the most famous person in Hollywood? I don't understand it? Unfinished or not, why can't they do something about it?
ClassicSiren Considering everything that was happening in Marilyn's life, the footage they have restored and put together is for me her best performance, she wasn't made to speak in a wispery voice that she usually did, but in her own naturally soft and sweet voice. She plays a grown up women with children, not a stupid blonde. Her weight is at her lowest in this DVD and she looks absolutely smashing and elegant. I am very sad that they weren't able to complete the film for it would definitely have been a success. And just for the record Marilyn was supposed to film her nude scene in a skin coloured bikini but she took it off and filmed it nude.As a conclusion, its a very interesting and touching DVD if you want to know the truth about the legend's final days from those who knew her.
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.
