Something's Got to Give (1962)
Something's Got to Give (1962) was an unfinished film starring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, and Cyd Charisse, intended as a remake of My Favorite Wife. Production was plagued by Monroe's frequent absences due to illness, leading to her firing and rehiring, and the project was abandoned after her sudden death in August 1962, making it her final work.
