Something's Got to Give is an unfinished American feature film shot in 1962, directed by George Cukor for 20th Century Fox and starring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin andCyd Charisse. A remake of 'My Favorite Wife' (1940), a screwball comedy starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, it was Monroe's last work, but from the beginning its production was disrupted by her personaltroubles, and after her death on August 4, 1962, the film was abandoned (Monroe was fired on June 4th but the studio had failed to cast an alternative).
20th Century Fox overhauled the entire production idea the following year with mostly new cast and crew and produced their 'MyFavorite Wife' remake, now titled 'Move Over, Darling' (1963) and starring Doris Day, James Garner, and Polly Bergen.
Nine hours of unedited footage and separate sound tracks from the unfinished film remained in the vaults at 20th Century Fox until 1989, when the material was discovered by producers of Fox Entertainment News (FEN) and assembled into the one-hour documentary 'Marilyn: Something's Got to Give'.
