You must give props to Dean Martin. When he found out they fired Marilyn, he said, "No Marilyn, no Dean Martin". He refused to finish the film without her. What a stand up guy. He stood by Marilyn all the way. The re-make "Move Over, Darling" with Doris Day was not as good as this film was shaping up to be. What a shame it wasn't finished.
When they were all set to perform as the Rat Pack in Vegas while filming Oceans 11, the hotel would not allow Sammy Davis Jr. to stay there (it was the early 60's and Vegas was still mob run and very much segregated). Sammy could perform there... but not stay there. Dean and Frank Sinatra not only walked out... they flew back to LA. The manager of the hotel flew to LA and begged them to come back (they were all on the billboard already) finally promising Sammy would have the best suite in the hotel. Not only did Sammy stay there... it opened up Vegas. When you were Dean and Frank's friend... you were their friend period.
It's true Dean signed on to make a film with Marilyn Monroe who was at the time a hot property. However, Marilyn's constant lateness, moodiness, and not knowing her lines pissed Dino off quite a bit when it became apparent Marilyn was not working out. He was about to throw in the towel & move on. You have to remember an actor like Dean signs on to do a film there are just so many weeks he/she will be available. Then they have other projects, concerts, commitments. This film was seriously behind schedule. The reason they didn't try to complete the film is simple. At the end of many films, you will see a credit "completion guaranty" (a written insurance contract known as completion bond -- that guarantees a motion picture will be finished & delivered on schedule, within budget). There were no computers to duplicate Marilyn back in those days. A major star dies & the filming has passed the halfway point -- the film is a loss. The film was closed down, insurance paid, film shelved. No chance of making it as it was originally intended. If you total a car & the insurance pays -- you can't register the car again & continue to drive it. So what they did was -- sold the script, rewrote it a little, & made a different film with a new title & cast. That you can do to recoup what monies you lost elsewhere. (I was in the business, horrific stuff).
@@budbutley532 - But Bud, isn't that what a light-comedy is supposed to be? I was watching it for Marilyn hoping there was chemistry between her & Dean but there wasn't. The scenes with her & the kids by the pool were better.
+Pulsar Stargrave yes Dean has co star approval in his contract. love his loyalty. they were going 2 cast lee remick in the role but couldn't. 20th century fox should have treated MM better....she was their top $ maker 4 10 years. Cleopatra was flopping & the pressure was on her.
this movie Martin and Monroe because she would always be late or not even show up for work and dean martin gave up on make-ing the picture he walked out and said he had better things to do than w ait for that ding bat or something like that - anyway the picture was never made ----
Wiley why do you show your ignorance so publicly? Dean Martin stood by Marilyn and refused to finish the movie without her. Dean said "I have the greatest respect for Miss Remick and her talent and for all other actresses who were considered for the role, but I signed to do a picture with Marilyn Monroe, and I will do it with no one else". Do a little research Wiley.
Sydney Lawrence - great comment. But you should have added that Marilyn and Fox had come to an agreement on a multi-picture deal at a huge raise. Sadly- that was not to be....
+Taylor Absolutely true! But in the rough and tumble world of Hollywood, Marilyn was 36 at the time and if she had lived, her career as a leading woman would have been over in four years! In The Misfits she was cast as a divorcee, which was a sign of things to come...
Sign of things to come? You mean she would have had serious roles instead of a dumb blonde? You think a woman's life is over after 36? Hilary Clinton, British and German leaders are in their 50s.
It would have been a struggle for Marilyn. This was 1962 Hollywood . Even now actresses talk about there being few good roles after 40! I think Marilyn could have had a few more good years possibly but the Old Hollywood era was winding up. Marilyn's persona was one of youth and beauty and her unique vulnerability but that couldn't have lasted as she got older. She would have had to delve into character roles like Elizabeth Taylor did and let the glamour go. Maybe she could have done it and maybe she would have been happier if she had had the chance to do so but it wouldn't have been easy.
MM hated this movie, and did not want to do it, but she owed Fox one final film on her contract with them. The film was doomed from the start. It had no ending, the cast was not finalized, and the script went through at least three writers, one of whom actually hated MM. She would receive script revisions each night as the script was changed, and had to stay up all night to memorize the new lines of the script. She often did not sleep at all, and was exhausted when she had to report to the set for filming. Add that to the fact that she was severely ill with a 102 degree fever and acute sinusitis, and the fact that the studios OWN doctor recommended that filming be postponed one month in order to allow her to recover, and when Fox refused their own doctor's diagnosis, they had a severely ill woman on their hands. It was doomed from the start.
Her voice and personality is so different in this one. I love it. She seems more like herself and less like the persona Hollywood made her show in her other films. Her voice is so much more relaxed, despite the mental anguish she was going through.
I compared the Doris Day pool scene to this one and I definitely prefer the Marilyn version! She didn't need to look at a picture to remind her what her children looked like, that image was burned into her brain, that's why she was so bewildered over how much they had grown and how much she had missed!
That's okay to not see that as I classy. I personally do. Marilyn had a magic about her that was enigmatic and transcending to me. She was fearless. And she was so sharp. So organic. She had a childlike innocence about her but she wasn't vapid or trapped in her own myopic bubble. She was kind and thoughtful sensitive and beautiful and talented and smart. Strong. And she just so happened to be brilliant.
Belle.marilyn beautiful.in swimmimg pool .and after.when she is ........ Incroyable. Impossible imagine she s is gone.......artère. Impossible. Shr s so alive .so good autres sensitive.much more than beautiful........
Well you're entitled to your own opinion but I feel Marilyn pulls this scene off well without looking cheap or vulgar. She owns that pool scene completely & improvised it herself. Kat 14 it's only overused if you're using it to describe the no talent hacks of today like so many do but for someone like Marilyn Monroe it's the perfect word.
Marilyn is more than gorgeous in this film. She looks even better now in her 30s. It's almost as if instead of aging she grows more and more beautiful.
But I read articles from back in the day, they were not good to her... Marilyn tried to use her image to get positive publicity to prove herself to the studios once more but the media was cruel, they analyzed her publicity shots from the movie set and concluded she has wrinkles and is getting old, there were even remarks like "she's a 40 something woman but the birth certificate shows she's 35" she was totally ostracized for her age and her sparkle was fading. It was only when she died that everyone felt like shit and started to praise her but reading those articles I can see why she fell into that deep depression so much that she decided to end it, I mean she had been depressed for years with her last marriage but that was the last straw. She was losing the one thing that had built her image
@Ogai Haidari OH please. Some women are gorgeous into old age. Depends on how they care for themselves, how they feel about themselves etc. I saw Lena Horne live when she was in her 70s and she was absolutely gorgeous. The men in the audience were still drooling.
Marilyn incredible, but I see Her sadness in Her eyes, wonderful the children the dog, the Pool. I think She was so, as She played, a warm hearted woman. 👱♀️😍😍
As the major studios declined they let go of their expert designers like Adrian, Helen Rose, Walter Plunkett and Edith Head. Think what Adrian could have done with Marilyn!
Nickey O'Nickes She was a beautiful, talented, caring, soft spoken and adorable soul. Yet she was so troubled): It's sad but in her 36 years she made the best out of everything she touched.
It's really best she didn't finish this terrible version because a year later another version was done with Doris Day and James Garner called Move Over Darling and it is excellent.
Would have to agree. This clip lacks any of the sparkling humour of M.O.D - although it should be taken into account that it is roughly finished and edited
I'm hooked just by watching this. It would have been a wonderful picture to see. So sad that Marilyn Monroe didn't finish the picture. She was a talented woman with a bright smile but inside she was lonely... RIP MM
It's so sad that Marilyn wasn't able to complete this movie! What is here is fantastic and touching, especially her natural instincts with the children and the dog. Marilyn was a top notch gifted singer, performer and talented actress of depth and character and was perfect for this role. Her sudden death and mystery surrounding it still haunts me to this day. Even as an eight year old, I saw Marilyn as someone extraordinary, like nobody else that had come before her.
I know I was thinking about the kids too. It's sad she didn't get to settled down , get married and have her own children. I bet she would have loved her children so much and been a much better mother to her children than the way she had to grow up. That breaks my heart. 💔😪
@@francescaa8331 A few operatic notes were dubbed for the "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" number, but otherwise she did her own singing in her films.
@Chantal Alexis yes she had horrendous périods and several miscarriages caused by endometriosis, which destroyed her true self despite being rejecting as an infant, looking like a wanton woman aged 12 with incredible curves and breasts, still a little girl until her 1st marriage aged 16 . she devoted on simple things but had to turn into a hollywood bimbo so as to find a meaning to her life. I try my best in English, make friends with Marylin aware women mostly and just read personal letters from Arthur Miller to his parents accounting for the breakup of his marriage with this beauty but shattered woman despite the appearances. Greetings from Noth East of France next to Besançon
It’s difficult to carry a pregnancy to term when you have endometriosis. But if she was alive in this era, she would have been able to access much better reproductive care, and might have been able to have a child/children. Although having a couple jerks as husbands and all the other men in her life she engaged with that just treated her like a piece of meat…that doesn’t help when you already have trouble conceiving and actually carrying a pregnancy healthily…
With computers today they could finish this movie. Can you all imagine a Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin movie hitting the movie theaters now. I would so go see it.
If only 20th Century Fox wasn't spending so much money on "Cleopatra," and if they were more sympathetic to Marilyn's plights during this time, this movie could have been completed. They tried to blame Marilyn for everything that THEY were doing wrong. They didn't even have a completed script by the time shooting began! Still, what's left is quite good. Marilyn is quite lovely here. A very underrated actress, in my opinion. If only this movie was finished...
She called in sick 17 times! Causing multiple delays in the production. Delays cost money, There was a limit to the nonsense the studio would put up with from her.
Alex Yamach There was also a limit to the amount of profit the studio bosses were willing to share with the artists and technicians who made them rich. They'd known for years that Marilyn was difficult to work with. Fox could have sold her contract to another studio. They were such poor businessmen that they didn't even know enough to cash in on the publicity for Kennedy's birthday celebration. Bottom line: they were greedy, vindictive, arrogant and shortsighted.
Yeah that's true! They really should've kept Nunnally Johnson and Jean Negulesco, she liked them both very much. George Cukor on the other hand, who was unsympathetic to the fact she had sinusitis and the studio doctors themselves said the picture should've been postponed for a month because of how sick she was, and he out front told the studio to replace her, then after her death, all of a sudden, said WONDERFUL things about her in interviews.
It's sad that Marilyn Monroe died so young. I love this era. The furniture and the decor in the houses were so classy than it is today. The decor today is boring. I don't like everything being grey. It looks like a prison or it reminds mr of a casket. Their clothes were so classy too. I loved the way they dressed back then. I was born in the 60's , but I wish I could have lived like this. If I had the money I'd love to go back to this style of decor. Probably would have to find someone to make a lot of it especially the clothes. I love the decor in the 70's too. Maybe I'm just missing the past?
You are not alone Bonnie Brown if you miss the past. If I had a time machine I would go back in the fifties and sixties in a flash! The 21st century is such a big disappointment while the sixties were a time of hope...before they killed JFK and MLK.
As long as you were white, it looks so good. I meant missing the past...I grew up without racism, then moved to an area where it was prolific, and was shocked and saddened.
I love it too! I’m 63 and I’ve always known about Marilyn Monroe but I really never looked at her famous movies until now and I’m in love with her pure talent acting and singing and her stunning beauty! I will always love her now and I will tell my grand babies about this beautiful Icon of a woman. ❤️
@@katesun2957 My Mother in law, who happened to be black had this same type of furniture in her home in Harlem, NY in the 1980’s . It was beautiful too.
Her scenes with Dean were great. It’s almost as if his laid back personality relaxed her and gave her confidence to play the scene in character without having to be “Marilyn”.
It was the part that required her to be a Glamorous wife with two kids and not a whispering Dumb Blonde. Don't forget that essentially she was an actress ( One of the First Batch of Method Actresses and still has shares in the Lee Strasberg Actors' Studio In New York where it was said that though she was shy, Marilyn caused a great deal of distraction by her sheer presence)
@@kojoharrison630 I realize that not a lot of people know this but Marilyn or Norma Jean, I should say, used to stutter. The speech pathologist advised her to speak in more of a whispery tone bc it helped calm her nerves and therefore calm her stutter. I 've known ppl that stutter and talking softly does help Another thing that helps is singing! No one stutters when they sing but we can't go around singing all the time😆 Anyway, this calm and "whispery" way of speaking helped her with her stutter. I'm sure she also gained a lot of confidence when she became a 🌟! That would help anyone's confidence, I'm sure!!❣🥰 💓 you Marilyn!!!!!
After much negotiation, Fox rehired MM to finish "Something's Got to Give" at FIVE TIMES her original salary ($500,000). She was initially only going to be paid the bargain basement price of $100,000, from an old 1950s contract to do the movie. By contrast, Elizabeth Taylor was being paid $1,000,000 for filming "Cleopatra" at the same time. When they renegotiated her contract to finish the film, they also signed her to an additional two picture deal at $500,000 per film. She was successful in getting to choose the writer (rehiring Nunnally Johnson and firing Walter Bernstein, who wrote a horrible, unfunny script and actually hated Marilyn) and the director of her choice to finish the movie, so she defeated Hollywood for the second time in her career ... which is why she was shunned for an Academy Award by the Hollywood elite. She was punished for being savvy about her career. This was no dumb blonde.
Marilyn Monroe was a wonderful actress and beautiful and unique and all that. She never delivered anything close to an academy award winning performance. Sorry. Maybe in the future she might have. I love her and find it so sad she didn't get her due as far as being smart instead of a dumb blonde.
@@susanmin8182 no no no that's when you're actually all wrong Marilyn Monroe's hair is naturally red only a true Marilyn Monroe's fan would know something like that you haven't read her timeline you have to look at her photos when she had red hair
What's the point of getting a bigger salary and two more movies when she was so unprofessional and difficult? She had been doing that for 10 years. No matter how savvy she was in anything - she always ruined everything, there was always something wrong with her. Marilyn was unprofessional and that was not Elizabeth Taylor's fault.
Elizabeth Taylor was also unprofessional and caused as many (if not more) problems on the set of "Cleopatra" as MM did on "SGTG". She would disappear for days and/or not report to the set at all, call in sick constantly, take hours and hours off because of her affair with Richard Burton, and continuously delay production. That was why "Cleopatra" almost bankrupted Fox, Both were difficult, but the end result was well worth the extra effort it took to make a film with these two ladies. @@decembrie23
@@2degucitas She didn't have a child. That unsubstantiated rumour has been circulating since the 70's. It was never even hinted at during her lifetime or shortly after her death. It just got added to the narrative as a bunch of other untruths were added to her story.
According to the Cosa Nostra, she was pregnant with Bobby Kennedy's child and was murdered with CO2 when she threatened to go public with it. There are a whole vault of photos that will come out one day, on what was really going on in those last months of her life.
I realize your comment is 6 yrs old. I hope you are doing well. I just would add even all this time later as we enjoy the pieces of film they had, that none of this was “completed” footage. They would have re-shot many scenes we are watching. They got accomplished what they could accomplish when they had Marilyn on set. There are many MANY people who were there and around at that time, who know and have written about the trouble they had with her on the set. Hours and hours late. Multiple takes. Non stop issues. Read background of “Some Like it Hot”. It’s a miracle that film got made and the fact it is a great movie is testament to Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and director Billy Wilder for their talent and patience. Unbelievable patience! She was her own worst enemy and no one could fix her demons from a childhood of abandonment. Certainly not one man she was with or married to was up to the task of loving her and not abandoning her too. Tragic from start to finish. She was at her absolute most beautiful at this time. And at the age of only 36, today it’s sad to think how over-the-hill that was for actresses up to that time. The film that was completed with James Garner and Doris Day called “Move Over, Darling” (Doris Day was gorgeous at 41, and Garner was 35) also starred the great Teresa Ritter (6X academy award nominee without a win!) and Polly Bergen, is fantastic and was one of the top movies in 1963. It kept Doris Day as the #1 box office draw at that time.
I Marilyn get a little bit older.....she would be a very elegant fine Lady in Costumes .......I really wish so much she remarried Joe and have one or two Kids ....She have to retired from movie Business . Lokk at her sister ..she is still alive 100 years old . Bernice look so much like Marilyn
There has never been ANYONE like Marilyn. Depression and addiction weren't understood as well in those days. Her doctor over prescribed controlled drugs disgracefully. I remember her death. What a tragic loss. Rest In Peace dear Marilyn.
There were pills that she used to over dose that were found in her body that were not prescribed by her doctor. I agree with you in everything else but before you put all the blame on her doctor you should understand the whole truth.
@@kyliegardner4599 Those pills though, those sedative pills she was prescribed are mosty banned in the U.S and U.K. they're mostly used for euthanasia, which basically goes to show how strong they were and what it was doing to this poor girl. It's a wonder she lived past 30 with such consumption of drugs.
@@kyliegardner4599 And there was absolutely no medication found in her stomach, g.i. tract nor intestines! There were way too many strange facts surrounding her death! It was not suicide, many experts have determined.
@@lindal.d.s.5954 We cannot believe ANYTHING about the investigation into Marilyn Monroe's death, and that includes the autopsy. Everything else was faked or "fudged" to take heat off of the Kennedy brothers, (and to divert attention from their affairs with her), so how can we believe that she took 90 pills all at once? Nothing was legit with this investigation. That said, I do believe Marilyn accidentally overdosed by taking a slew of strong barbiturates and sedatives during the day of her death. (August 4th, 1962.) I think she took a lethal amount, (and the pills were much stronger then), throughout the day and evening, and everything just built up in her and caused her to stop breathing. Marilyn had terrible lungs and they could not handle the respiratory distress.
These days she'd be considered borderline personality . Abandonment issues, leading to attachment disorder, trust issues, anxiety & depression , mood swings etc. I don't know why Dr Greenson identified "flashes of schizophrenia" (in the widely respected book Goddess by A Summers). I'd like to know what that was based on as her pill addiction could have masked or misrepresented some of her issues. Her first husband also said she had a fear of leaving the house at one time, related to anxiety.
The effect she has on all of us...She still Mesmerizes everyone because no one looks like her or possesses the 'Magic', poise and overall mannerisms that she captures us with.
Fun fact : tippy was the name of Marilyn's first dog , when Marilyn was young and she was Norma Jean she had a dog who would walk her to school and play with her at recess ( she was very lonely ) so tippy was one of her only friends , sadly tippy was shot by a neighbor who accused the dog of rolling in his plants
What a complete and unexpected pleasure to see this footage of Marilyn Monroe. I had no idea it existed. And in such great condition. Thanks so much for sharing!
They really didn’t need a lot more footage. They could’ve finished the film with just a few more Marilyn scenes, but “Move Over, Darling” is better. Doris seems more like a mother. James Garner and Doris seem more like a couple that would be married and have kids. Dean and Marilyn seem more like a married man who’s afraid his mistress is cheating on him, not his wife.
Remarkable woman, she knew her art perfectly well. Funny, that many people do not recognize her as one of the best actresses that ever lived and played in films.
At 36 Marylin was never lovelier Than in this last picture. She's just mesmerising on Screen. You can't take your eyes off that Face. Her acting is so natural. Especially in scenes with the Children. What a loss to the World and Movies her untimely death was. A True legend who still lives on Screen at least, forever. I so wish the Film had been Completed
After watching this even tho its incomplete is my favorite Marilyn Monroe movie damn I wish it was finished really enjoyed Dean Martin and Phil Silvers as well this would have been a classic I know it.
Glad this was uploaded, I loved seeing Marilyn with the children. I used to be sad at her early death, but now I think she lived as long as she was supposed to. Some lights aren't meant to burn for a long time. I just wish while she was here her life would have been easier for her.
✨🦋 She looks very beautiful in this movie. Her make up artist stated that this is the best Marilyn had ever looked. He even said she was in great shape. She went through so much during filming this.I wish that they continued it being that they redid her contract after firing her. 🥺
In that final scene she smiles at the end then a look of panic and fear comes over her face. Haunting and sad. I loved watching this. I never knew it existed in this part completed format. Thanks.
On screen magic, to be sure. in real life she was the opposite....some say impossible to work with, unreliable, unprofessional, imature and unacceptable.
@@classicalaid1 Who cares, these were problems of the directors and colleagues. What's important is the result she achieved and the emotion she was able to give to the public.
Rent "Some Came Running" with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Shirley Maclaine. Fabulous movie directed by Vincente Minnelli. Dean Martin's best part EVER.
And as Frank Sinatra said of him...Dean thought funny. I miss this era so much. When class was a social norm, and people were movie stars not celebrities, whatever the flock that means....
A damn shame this was never completed, and boy o' boy, she seems to have been at her most radiant, and the beginning stages of a fine actress too - the screen just crackles with delight when she appears in a scene... So much has been written and discussed about this film and the tragedy thereafter. It's hard to imagine what kind of film it would have been, if they could splice in another hour or so to fill in the missing plot holes. Perhaps some CGI magician will do just that in the near future.
I was only 4 when you passed..."I would have loved to known you, but I was just a kid" .... I will always hold a good thought for you .... You will be my #1 forever.... Happy 90th Birthday, June 1st, 2016 .. all my love .... Pax Vobiscum my Dear .....
+Amber Lynn Martin This movie did get made, just not with this cast. The project with Dean, Marilyn and Cyd disbanded. The studio recast the film with Doris Day and James Garner and released it in 1963 renamed to _Move Over, Darling_. It's sad we didn't get to see this version of it, but I believe the Doris Day version ended up equally charming.
+abigguitar I think the Doris Day, James Garner version was a much better movie. You could sense a closer connected twosome. Besides both Day and Garner had wonderful exuberant personalities. So sad such a beautiful Marilyn was used over and over by Hollywood. Then murdered in spite by certain elites.
What a wonderful editing job this is. Accolades. I truly loved both of these actors when they were alive and still do, so this wonderful tribute is so heartwarming for me. As I watched, I kept thinking that, in the heavenly realms, they both feel satisfied that this was made with best of taste and is proof of the many hours spent in hard work. Both were wonderful people here on earth, both were human and were born actors. They are still helping us all in the spirit, understand the human condition in fun and humorous ways!
@@getreal4real169 yes, it is such a good film, 1940, My Favorite Wife. Irene Dunne & Gail Patrick were excellent, Grant- perfection as always. I don't think Marilyn was the best choice for this role, completely unbelievable as a 'Mom'....& the movie was just silly for the sixties. I can't picture Marilyn making it into the 1970's with movies SO different & her going into middle age. I don't think time would have been kind to her.
One thing I realized when I first saw Marilyn Monroe in a film was - she was intelligent. Whenever you see her in a scene you realize that - she had self possession and intelligence - tragedy she destroyed herself or fell victim to a system that destoryed her when she could have given so much - God bless her. She had personality class and intelligence yet dumbed herself down to fit an image. Had no idea this was a behind the scenes - at the end - "Cut, record!"
Marilyn was actually highly rated as the Actress with the best timing in Hollywood and with her acting skills and Magic, only she could play those Blonde Roles Perfectly. Those roles were an Act. Marilyn was actually shrewd and in 1956 formed her own Production Company with Milton Greene as part of the Production Team and Main Photo-Journalist.......She Hired and Salaried Sir Lawrence Olivier to play the Leading Male role alongside her in 'The Prince And The Showgirl' (Not everyone knows this Fact!!)
@@kojoharrison630 Life had taught her how to handle a situation, exposed in raw dependancy, she was passed around as a child to different foster homes, an intimacy with strangers it seems, tragically due to the instability of her mother & father's absence. A childhood that likely included roles she had to play even then so young adapting to a scripted set. Digging deep within & have the ability to disassociate herself from her real circumstances & learning how to please, whether it meant laughter or sweetness in the sense of smoothing over the rough introductions in Life. Reading people as transparently, I think it gave her a wisdom not normal to those who had not passed thru crisis so young, matured her early & gave her a star quality shone above the rest. Her fans still, we love her & how truly unique her Life made her to be who she was, hopefully at intervals in time in certain scenarios, she was able to play in relax as herself & be the best of all happily her own person.
@@kojoharrison630 Also, though she had perfected the sex-symbol figure, had fun in comic flair & peaked in her career under the raw power of attraction, she herself wanted to play drama as she had a taste in craving for it. Her soul, as intellectual capacity longed for recognition as well her physical feats extraordinare. That denial was the tragedy that she wasn't allowed to branch away to suit her own desires, commit to her own dreams & fulfill herself that way whether it a box office hit or not padding the pockets of the movie industry making these decisions, but adding to her own sense of adequacy that she was more than enough..more than just an ordinary person, but uniquely qualifed to expand as far as the horizons could take her.
@@kingdomfreedom8323 Oh Absolutely Kingdom Freedom 🙏🏾👍🏾; well-said. You really reached into her Soul as she would have liked people around to have done then, but, she was far too many years ahead of her time for most to understand what they were seeing and experiencing.
Very hard to watch knowing it was the last time we would see Marilyn Monroe in a film. EVER): Damn shame. Everybody who was great died young. MLK, Tupac, Notorious BIG, Malcolm X, John Lennon, James Dean, Dorothy Dandridge and Marilyn herself. I don't think we will ever see anything that beautiful again.
This is amazing, the way the small number of available scenes have been put together to form a very good shortened version of the film. It's obvious to me that the completed movie would have been very popular. Looking at the credits, this appears to have been taken from a much longer major programme looking at Marilyn Monroe. It would be great to see the whole thing.

WOW this is so brilliantly put together from all the rushes, and music too!!! Never seen this, I'd seen a doc about the film and the outtakes. We all know the story behind this film but the finished result, I mean YOUR result, is wondeful. This is why it is called 'Show business' Watching this footage put together like this makes you forget all the stresses and strains making this movie caused Marilyn and indeed everyone connected with it at the time. Marilyn looks the best she'd ever looked in my humble opinion. Does anyone else agree?
I believe you are thinking about "The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe" which aired in 2004 on the cable channel still known by its full name of American Movie Classics. This assembled "feature" of all the scenes filmed before her death was specifically put together for that. The show included interviews with those still alive at the time, including screenwriter Hal Kanter and Cyd Charisse, the second wife. It took several years, as it also had footage with Steve Allen, who played Charisse's psychoanalyst, before his death in 2000.
I had no idea this movie was almost the same as "Move Over, Darling." I found out tonight and searched for it. I loved all the romantic comedies of Doris Day. But this would have been better. Sometimes the Day films got a little too much comedy and this was just right. It is a pity it could not be finished. Marilyn is also a favorite of mine and I always thought she had perfect timing. Except for that one moment of expression when she thinks her son is hurt - she was perfect. And Dean Martin was very understated but fine. I guess I just really like the storyline too. What a shame it can't be completed now. Although, I can see it would be a big problem because of all the stars being gone. But her take on the character is far more down to Earth that the Day film.
Oh my God she looks so lovely..so relaxed....so sophisticated, so gorgeous,so enchanting.!!!...why do they have to kill her ?..This was 1962 just before her death..very sad she didnt do more movies.. she was in her best time....so many people loved her..but the a few that hurted her are in Hell now...She born with a natural histrionic art!! Intelligent,charismatic,and sweet!!! She looks so beautiful..so ANGELIC...Glory to our immortal Goddess MARILYN MONROE!!!
Marilyn was gorgeous in this movie. She was at her game. But you see how lovely she looked during her birthday song to President Kennedy. That took place during the filming of the movie.
It was rumored that she had been too close to the Presidential circle and was bumped off with an overdose by government agents because she knew too much.
@@Paris-jv8xo they never said Marilyn was dumb, but if you watch her earlier movies you'll notice she does play a stereotypical "dumb blonde" character in a few of them, especially when she played Lorelai in gentlemen prefer blondes
@@christiannightshade5886 I had read in a 1962 Life magazine article that Marilyn last interview was in. Marilyn said in the article that she was tired of playing one type of role and that she wanted to do more serious roles like Elizabeth Taylor had played
Good point, I agree, by all accounts she was sick of doing the dumb blonde voice too..But in those early days that was what the studio wanted from her. She never liked doing the 'dumb blonde' it's well documented. It is refreshing you're so right. Nice to see Marilyn entering another chapter of her life and career.....
BEAUTIFULLY DONE ! This is as close to a complete movie they would have gotten. Totally different feel with the original cast. I do love "Move Over Darling". It's a fun romantic comedy with Doris Day, James Garner and Polly Bergan. The Monroe, Martin version is certainly more sophisticated and sexy, but then you did have Marilyn and Dean. Great job on putting it together. Congratulations !
Sadly, your statement isn't true. She had almost killed herself less than two weeks earlier at a Hollywood party. She retreated to the coat room and took a bunch of pills. Also there's a lot of testimony of her calling just about every single person on Earth that she knew and cared about the night of her death. Sadly none of them went to her rescue. The reason? The same reason that James Spade didn't go to Chris Farley's rescue the night that he called him. Too many nights crying wolf. Too many nights where somebody that you cared about was in a disastrous situation for the upteenth time. They always pull through in the past, sadly that last night they didn't. That's why Joe DiMaggio had such massive amounts of Survivor guilt. That's why Jane Spade to this day has survivor's guilt for Chris Farley. That's why Dan Aykroyd as Survivor guilt for John Belushi. These people are lovable and larger-than-life, and deeply damaged. We just want a better explanation than they couldn't take their last High. It's sad. It's tragic. But it is true that Marilyn accidentally killed herself. No murder.
I watched the making of this movie, all the takes all the cuts dealing of a dog that didn't want to listen to its trainer and the children that flubbed lines and then asked what did I do wrong, but now seeing it put all together it's amazing What actors go through just to do a scene the different takes the different angles and then they have to splice it all together for the final cut ...wow Too bad they never got to finish the movie, One of the saddest thing was the director and producer dragged her back into the Studio to do the scene with the kids and later the scene of her in the swimming pool nude took over 4 hours she was already sick with a 102 fever and a sinus infection and the doctors told the studio she needed at least two weeks to recuperate before she can continue but they forced her back into the studio to do those scenes anyway R.I.P Marilyn Monroe 💝
I'm a big fan of Marilyn and I think her films have been bolder since the 1960s than those from the 1950s and Marilyn herself underwent a metamorphosis because the stereotype of stupid blonde changed into a full-fledged woman and it was amazing ;)
Poor baby she was so messed up inside. This was very difficult to even do any of this length of it, Late,drunk,under influence all of the time. She couldn't get over what ever had her bewitched . She did her best ,that's good enough for me
@@Joeblogs999 I think if you read into Marilyn's life and understand it, you'll find she was quite modest and humble. There were times she expressed dissatisfaction with her appearance and talent, and I don't think you fully understand what narcissism is because if you did you'd feel quite certain she didn't have it. She had no vanity in the slightest degree and many who knew her know this to be true as they had expressed it in interviews.
@@Joeblogs999 Many hold the same opinion as I do, and it's not just an opinion; it's a fact. You diagnose her with narcissism as if you're a psychiatrist. A lot of these man she allegedly had affairs with were just gossip and rumours. She was very generous and kind. You very ignorant and uninformed about her. Go and study the facts.
I just realized that this was uploaded on my 20th birthday, and it just so happens that as a birthday present that day my parents gave me the book "Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words." For those who haven't read this book, I highly recommend it.
It is not a remake of Move Over Darling. After Marilyn Monroe died and Dean Martin bowed out as a result, the project was recast with Doris Day and renamed.
Love watching her screen test over again. Marilyn had a new look and was as beautiful as ever in what film they managed to find of her in Somethings got to give. Deano wouldn't work with another actress so his manager got him out of the contract. RIP MARILYN 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There are two far superior versions of this movie: My Favorite Wife with Cary Grant and Irenne Dunne in the 40s and Move Over Darling with James Garner and Doris Day around 1963 (best).
How I wish circumstances weren’t as they were, and this movie had been finished. It was poised to be Marilyn Monroe‘s best and Cyd is phenomenal. And I adore the fashions of 1962.
The Misfits, being written by her husband, Arthur Miller, was basically just MM.... I find it hard to watch. Gable, Montgomery Clift, Marilyn - it is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen.
This is a great movie. Marilyn was a great and beautiful actress. So sad how she died so young. 60 years ago and she is still remembered in the hearts of all. May she R.I.P. ❤
You must give props to Dean Martin. When he found out they fired Marilyn, he said, "No Marilyn, no Dean Martin". He refused to finish the film without her. What a stand up guy. He stood by Marilyn all the way. The re-make "Move Over, Darling" with Doris Day was not as good as this film was shaping up to be. What a shame it wasn't finished.
When they were all set to perform as the Rat Pack in Vegas while filming Oceans 11, the hotel would not allow Sammy Davis Jr. to stay there (it was the early 60's and Vegas was still mob run and very much segregated). Sammy could perform there... but not stay there. Dean and Frank Sinatra not only walked out... they flew back to LA. The manager of the hotel flew to LA and begged them to come back (they were all on the billboard already) finally promising Sammy would have the best suite in the hotel. Not only did Sammy stay there... it opened up Vegas. When you were Dean and Frank's friend... you were their friend period.
It's true Dean signed on to make a film with Marilyn Monroe who was at the time a hot property.
However, Marilyn's constant lateness, moodiness, and not knowing her lines pissed Dino off quite a bit when it became apparent Marilyn was not working out. He was about to throw in the towel & move on. You have to remember an actor like Dean signs on to do a film there are just so many weeks he/she will be available. Then they have other projects, concerts, commitments. This film was seriously behind schedule.
The reason they didn't try to complete the film is simple. At the end of many films, you will see a credit "completion guaranty" (a written insurance contract known as completion bond -- that guarantees a motion picture will be finished & delivered on schedule, within budget). There were no computers to duplicate Marilyn back in those days. A major star dies & the filming has passed the halfway point -- the film is a loss.
The film was closed down, insurance paid, film shelved. No chance of making it as it was originally intended. If you total a car & the insurance pays -- you can't register the car again & continue to drive it.
So what they did was -- sold the script, rewrote it a little, & made a different film with a new title & cast. That you can do to recoup what monies you lost elsewhere. (I was in the business, horrific stuff).
Doris Day's version was wonderful and one of the top films that year
The movie is BAD: awful script
@@budbutley532 - But Bud, isn't that what a light-comedy is supposed to be?
I was watching it for Marilyn hoping there was chemistry between her & Dean but there wasn't. The scenes with her & the kids by the pool were better.
Dean Martin was a decent man. When the scumbags wanted to replace Marilyn in the movie Dean refused to continue the movie without her.
I'm a Dean Martin fan and I've never heard this story, but it sounds exactly' like the kind of man his friends said he was! VIVA, DINO!
+Pulsar Stargrave yes Dean has co star approval in his contract. love his loyalty. they were going 2 cast lee remick in the role but couldn't. 20th century fox should have treated MM better....she was their top $ maker 4 10 years. Cleopatra was flopping & the pressure was on her.
this movie Martin and Monroe because she would always be late or not even show up for work and dean martin gave up on make-ing the picture he walked out and said he had better things to do than w ait for that ding bat or something like that - anyway the picture was never made ----
Wiley why do you show your ignorance so publicly? Dean Martin stood by Marilyn and refused to finish the movie without her. Dean said "I have the greatest respect for Miss Remick and her talent and for all other actresses who were considered for the role, but I signed to do a picture with Marilyn Monroe, and I will do it with no one else". Do a little research Wiley.
Sydney Lawrence - great comment. But you should have added that Marilyn and Fox had come to an agreement on a multi-picture deal at a huge raise. Sadly- that was not to be....
How could anyone say she had lost her looks. I've never seen her look so lovely.
+Monrocsol People actually say that? She is so gorgeous!
+Taylor Absolutely true! But in the rough and tumble world of Hollywood, Marilyn was 36 at the time and if she had lived, her career as a leading woman would have been over in four years! In The Misfits she was cast as a divorcee, which was a sign of things to come...
Sign of things to come? You mean she would have had serious roles instead of a dumb blonde? You think a woman's life is over after 36? Hilary Clinton, British and German leaders are in their 50s.
It would have been a struggle for Marilyn. This was 1962 Hollywood . Even now actresses talk about there being few good roles after 40! I think Marilyn could have had a few more good years possibly but the Old Hollywood era was winding up. Marilyn's persona was one of youth and beauty and her unique vulnerability but that couldn't have lasted as she got older. She would have had to delve into character roles like Elizabeth Taylor did and let the glamour go. Maybe she could have done it and maybe she would have been happier if she had had the chance to do so but it wouldn't have been easy.
The scene where she is combing her wet hair with Dean Martin- a knockout!
MM hated this movie, and did not want to do it, but she owed Fox one final film on her contract with them. The film was doomed from the start. It had no ending, the cast was not finalized, and the script went through at least three writers, one of whom actually hated MM. She would receive script revisions each night as the script was changed, and had to stay up all night to memorize the new lines of the script. She often did not sleep at all, and was exhausted when she had to report to the set for filming. Add that to the fact that she was severely ill with a 102 degree fever and acute sinusitis, and the fact that the studios OWN doctor recommended that filming be postponed one month in order to allow her to recover, and when Fox refused their own doctor's diagnosis, they had a severely ill woman on their hands. It was doomed from the start.
It does live up to the title don't it?
The pressure was put on Monroe and this production because 20th was tanking due to the overspending, etc., on Cleopatra.
" Marilyn was the greatest actress in Hollywood they should have been more patient with her " also not change the script often ?? "
A dreary and unfunny remake of a classic film. Couldn't they apply some real writing talent to come up with a totally MM script?
Her voice and personality is so different in this one. I love it. She seems more like herself and less like the persona Hollywood made her show in her other films. Her voice is so much more relaxed, despite the mental anguish she was going through.
I thought she was trying to act like Jackie Onassis in this film. Her hair and the whispery voice.
Someone did poor job with her hairstyle here. She is coming from island, not Las Vegas.
@@melianna999 she stopped at a salon on the way.
@@Catglittercrafts where she get the money from?
@@thetrainwreck1469 It was the Fashion of that era! So she couldn't escape it
That pool scene is iconic! Only she could pull it off with class. Love how she turns and giggles! R.I.P Ms Monroe forever in our hearts 💋
I compared the Doris Day pool scene to this one and I definitely prefer the Marilyn version! She didn't need to look at a picture to remind her what her children looked like, that image was burned into her brain, that's why she was so bewildered over how much they had grown and how much she had missed!
That's okay to not see that as I classy. I personally do. Marilyn had a magic about her that was enigmatic and transcending to me. She was fearless. And she was so sharp. So organic. She had a childlike innocence about her but she wasn't vapid or trapped in her own myopic bubble. She was kind and thoughtful sensitive and beautiful and talented and smart. Strong. And she just so happened to be brilliant.
Iconic is an overused word.
Belle.marilyn beautiful.in swimmimg pool .and after.when she is ........
Incroyable.
Impossible imagine she s is gone.......artère.
Impossible.
Shr s so alive .so good autres sensitive.much more than beautiful........
Well you're entitled to your own opinion but I feel Marilyn pulls this scene off well without looking cheap or vulgar. She owns that pool scene completely & improvised it herself. Kat 14 it's only overused if you're using it to describe the no talent hacks of today like so many do but for someone like Marilyn Monroe it's the perfect word.
Marilyn is more than gorgeous in this film. She looks even better now in her 30s. It's almost as if instead of aging she grows more and more beautiful.
I remember my dad saying in reference to Marilyn, "I think she got better looking the older she got."
@@Gohad158. And just like all actresses, Marilyn faced the anxiety of growing older and having someone younger and prettier take her place in the sun.
But I read articles from back in the day, they were not good to her... Marilyn tried to use her image to get positive publicity to prove herself to the studios once more but the media was cruel, they analyzed her publicity shots from the movie set and concluded she has wrinkles and is getting old, there were even remarks like "she's a 40 something woman but the birth certificate shows she's 35" she was totally ostracized for her age and her sparkle was fading. It was only when she died that everyone felt like shit and started to praise her but reading those articles I can see why she fell into that deep depression so much that she decided to end it, I mean she had been depressed for years with her last marriage but that was the last straw. She was losing the one thing that had built her image
@Ogai Haidari OH please. Some women are gorgeous into old age. Depends on how they care for themselves, how they feel about themselves etc. I saw Lena Horne live when she was in her 70s and she was absolutely gorgeous. The men in the audience were still drooling.
She look thin , tired, sad,sick,withdrawal,addiction side effects,fatigue that what I saw here
The clothes and the way people dressed at that was Class and Elegance. I so love her dress.
Marilyn incredible, but I see Her sadness in Her eyes, wonderful the children the dog, the Pool. I think She was so, as She played, a warm hearted woman. 👱♀️😍😍
Indubidubly 🙂
Marilyn's final outfit as well as the elegant decor within the "Shoe Parlor" set, looked exquisite. I wish I dressed that way every day of my Life. 🖤
As the major studios declined they let go of their expert designers like Adrian, Helen Rose, Walter Plunkett and Edith Head. Think what Adrian could have done with Marilyn!
I can't be the only one who couldn't stop smiling when Marilyn appeared on screen.
I tend to smile with just a glance at one of the many Marilyn photos/paintings/magazines, etc. I have around my home.
This is GOLD. Thank you.
Anyone watching this can see that she had a very unique presence onscreen.
When she appeared on the screen she took my breath away, I had forgotten how beautiful she was!
+Roger Hornaday It's heart felt.
+Roger Hornaday She was, to the very end, a truly gorgeous woman. And just so feminine and sexy.
Nickey O'Nickes She was a beautiful, talented, caring, soft spoken and adorable soul. Yet she was so troubled): It's sad but in her 36 years she made the best out of everything she touched.
Love her

I wish Marilyn could have finished this movie..... It seems like it might have been a wonderful film!
It's really best she didn't finish this terrible version because a year later another version was done with Doris Day and James Garner called Move Over Darling and it is excellent.
this movie was done 3 times

Would have to agree. This clip lacks any of the sparkling humour of M.O.D - although it should be taken into account that it is roughly finished and edited
I'm hooked just by watching this. It would have been a wonderful picture to see. So sad that Marilyn Monroe didn't finish the picture. She was a talented woman with a bright smile but inside she was lonely... RIP MM
It's so sad that Marilyn wasn't able to complete this movie! What is here is fantastic and touching, especially her natural instincts with the children and the dog. Marilyn was a top notch gifted singer, performer and talented actress of depth and character and was perfect for this role. Her sudden death and mystery surrounding it still haunts me to this day. Even as an eight year old, I saw Marilyn as someone extraordinary, like nobody else that had come before her.
I know I was thinking about the kids too. It's sad she didn't get to settled down , get married and have her own children. I bet she would have loved her children so much and been a much better mother to her children than the way she had to grow up. That breaks my heart. 💔😪
@@bonniebrown6960 I totally agree with you Bonnie. I think that she did have a miscarriage with one of her husbands.

You can tell she was having so much fun with those kids in that scene.
She wanted kids of her own so badly but it was never meant to be.
I think they were her kids in the movie but were too young to remember her
@Chantal Alexis yes she had horrendous périods and several miscarriages caused by endometriosis, which destroyed her true self despite being rejecting as an infant, looking like a wanton woman aged 12 with incredible curves and breasts, still a little girl until her 1st marriage aged 16 . she devoted on simple things but had to turn into a hollywood bimbo so as to find a meaning to her life. I try my best in English, make friends with Marylin aware women mostly and just read personal letters from Arthur Miller to his parents accounting for the breakup of his marriage with this beauty but shattered woman despite the appearances. Greetings from Noth East of France next to Besançon
She was meant to have children, but she had at least one abortion
It’s difficult to carry a pregnancy to term when you have endometriosis. But if she was alive in this era, she would have been able to access much better reproductive care, and might have been able to have a child/children.
Although having a couple jerks as husbands and all the other men in her life she engaged with that just treated her like a piece of meat…that doesn’t help when you already have trouble conceiving and actually carrying a pregnancy healthily…
@@Tsumami__ she would’ve been too old to have kids though, she would’ve had to adopt or something
With computers today they could finish this movie. Can you all imagine a Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin movie hitting the movie theaters now. I would so go see it.
Agree. I would too.
I watch Marilyn Monroe movies to escape the COVID reality we are living in. They continue to entertain and make me happy.
IF they are going to resucitate (?) James Dean (??), they DO can finish this movie.
It would be such an honour to watch this, it is so sad that it never could get finished
That's like one of the worst ideas possible
@Marty McFly II Yes!!! I love Simone. I own it. It's plausible. So is Ready Player One.
If only 20th Century Fox wasn't spending so much money on "Cleopatra," and if they were more sympathetic to Marilyn's plights during this time, this movie could have been completed. They tried to blame Marilyn for everything that THEY were doing wrong. They didn't even have a completed script by the time shooting began!
Still, what's left is quite good. Marilyn is quite lovely here. A very underrated actress, in my opinion. If only this movie was finished...
She called in sick 17 times! Causing multiple delays in the production. Delays cost money, There was a limit to the nonsense the studio would put up with from her.
Alex Yamach There was also a limit to the amount of profit the studio bosses were willing to share with the artists and technicians who made them rich. They'd known for years that Marilyn was difficult to work with. Fox could have sold her contract to another studio. They were such poor businessmen that they didn't even know enough to cash in on the publicity for Kennedy's birthday celebration. Bottom line: they were greedy, vindictive, arrogant and shortsighted.
Same thing goes on in the music industry. It's all about money.
yeah they had 5 or 6 expensive rewrites!
Yeah that's true! They really should've kept Nunnally Johnson and Jean Negulesco, she liked them both very much. George Cukor on the other hand, who was unsympathetic to the fact she had sinusitis and the studio doctors themselves said the picture should've been postponed for a month because of how sick she was, and he out front told the studio to replace her, then after her death, all of a sudden, said WONDERFUL things about her in interviews.
It's sad that Marilyn Monroe died so young. I love this era. The furniture and the decor in the houses were so classy than it is today. The decor today is boring. I don't like everything being grey. It looks like a prison or it reminds mr of a casket. Their clothes were so classy too. I loved the way they dressed back then. I was born in the 60's , but I wish I could have lived like this. If I had the money I'd love to go back to this style of decor. Probably would have to find someone to make a lot of it especially the clothes. I love the decor in the 70's too. Maybe I'm just missing the past?
You are not alone Bonnie Brown if you miss the past. If I had a time machine I would go back in the fifties and sixties in a flash! The 21st century is such a big disappointment while the sixties were a time of hope...before they killed JFK and MLK.
As long as you were white, it looks so good. I meant missing the past...I grew up without racism, then moved to an area where it was prolific, and was shocked and saddened.
I love it too! I’m 63 and I’ve always known about Marilyn Monroe but I really never looked at her famous movies until now and I’m in love with her pure talent acting and singing and her stunning beauty! I will always love her now and I will tell my grand babies about this beautiful Icon of a woman. ❤️

Her scenes with Dean were great. It’s almost as if his laid back personality relaxed her and gave her confidence to play the scene in character without having to be “Marilyn”.
@Janitor Queen Geezus. Imagine being so miserable you talk shit about somebody who is dead.
It was the part that required her to be a Glamorous wife with two kids and not a whispering Dumb Blonde. Don't forget that essentially she was an actress ( One of the First Batch of Method Actresses and still has shares in the Lee Strasberg Actors' Studio In New York where it was said that though she was shy, Marilyn caused a great deal of distraction by her sheer presence)
Dean Martin and and Marlyn were good friends so I'm sure she felt comfortable with him.
@@kojoharrison630 I realize that not a lot of people know this but Marilyn or Norma Jean, I should say, used to stutter. The speech pathologist advised her to speak in more of a whispery tone bc it helped calm her nerves and therefore calm her stutter. I 've known ppl that stutter and talking softly does help Another thing that helps is singing! No one stutters when they sing but we can't go around singing all the time😆 Anyway, this calm and "whispery" way of speaking helped her with her stutter. I'm sure she also gained a lot of confidence when she became a 🌟! That would help anyone's confidence, I'm sure!!❣🥰 💓 you Marilyn!!!!!

After much negotiation, Fox rehired MM to finish "Something's Got to Give" at FIVE TIMES her original salary ($500,000). She was initially only going to be paid the bargain basement price of $100,000, from an old 1950s contract to do the movie. By contrast, Elizabeth Taylor was being paid $1,000,000 for filming "Cleopatra" at the same time. When they renegotiated her contract to finish the film, they also signed her to an additional two picture deal at $500,000 per film. She was successful in getting to choose the writer (rehiring Nunnally Johnson and firing Walter Bernstein, who wrote a horrible, unfunny script and actually hated Marilyn) and the director of her choice to finish the movie, so she defeated Hollywood for the second time in her career ... which is why she was shunned for an Academy Award by the Hollywood elite. She was punished for being savvy about her career. This was no dumb blonde.
True. No blond though, her natural hair is brunette
Marilyn Monroe was a wonderful actress and beautiful and unique and all that. She never delivered anything close to an academy award winning performance. Sorry. Maybe in the future she might have. I love her and find it so sad she didn't get her due as far as being smart instead of a dumb blonde.
@@susanmin8182 no no no that's when you're actually all wrong Marilyn Monroe's hair is naturally red only a true Marilyn Monroe's fan would know something like that you haven't read her timeline you have to look at her photos when she had red hair
What's the point of getting a bigger salary and two more movies when she was so unprofessional and difficult? She had been doing that for 10 years. No matter how savvy she was in anything - she always ruined everything, there was always something wrong with her. Marilyn was unprofessional and that was not Elizabeth Taylor's fault.
Elizabeth Taylor was also unprofessional and caused as many (if not more) problems on the set of "Cleopatra" as MM did on "SGTG". She would disappear for days and/or not report to the set at all, call in sick constantly, take hours and hours off because of her affair with Richard Burton, and continuously delay production. That was why "Cleopatra" almost bankrupted Fox, Both were difficult, but the end result was well worth the extra effort it took to make a film with these two ladies. @@decembrie23

❤❤❤
I realize your comment is 6 yrs old. I hope you are doing well. I just would add even all this time later as we enjoy the pieces of film they had, that none of this was “completed” footage. They would have re-shot many scenes we are watching. They got accomplished what they could accomplish when they had Marilyn on set. There are many MANY people who were there and around at that time, who know and have written about the trouble they had with her on the set. Hours and hours late. Multiple takes. Non stop issues. Read background of “Some Like it Hot”. It’s a miracle that film got made and the fact it is a great movie is testament to Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and director Billy Wilder for their talent and patience. Unbelievable patience! She was her own worst enemy and no one could fix her demons from a childhood of abandonment. Certainly not one man she was with or married to was up to the task of loving her and not abandoning her too. Tragic from start to finish. She was at her absolute most beautiful at this time. And at the age of only 36, today it’s sad to think how over-the-hill that was for actresses up to that time. The film that was completed with James Garner and Doris Day called “Move Over, Darling” (Doris Day was gorgeous at 41, and Garner was 35) also starred the great Teresa Ritter (6X academy award nominee without a win!) and Polly Bergen, is fantastic and was one of the top movies in 1963. It kept Doris Day as the #1 box office draw at that time.

There has never been ANYONE like Marilyn. Depression and addiction weren't understood as well in those days. Her doctor over prescribed controlled drugs disgracefully. I remember her death. What a tragic loss. Rest In Peace dear Marilyn.
There were pills that she used to over dose that were found in her body that were not prescribed by her doctor. I agree with you in everything else but before you put all the blame on her doctor you should understand the whole truth.
@@kyliegardner4599 Those pills though, those sedative pills she was prescribed are mosty banned in the U.S and U.K. they're mostly used for euthanasia, which basically goes to show how strong they were and what it was doing to this poor girl. It's a wonder she lived past 30 with such consumption of drugs.
@@kyliegardner4599 And there was absolutely no medication found in her stomach, g.i. tract nor intestines! There were way too many strange facts surrounding her death! It was not suicide, many experts have determined.
@@lindal.d.s.5954 We cannot believe ANYTHING about the investigation into Marilyn Monroe's death, and that includes the autopsy. Everything else was faked or "fudged" to take heat off of the Kennedy brothers, (and to divert attention from their affairs with her), so how can we believe that she took 90 pills all at once? Nothing was legit with this investigation. That said, I do believe Marilyn accidentally overdosed by taking a slew of strong barbiturates and sedatives during the day of her death. (August 4th, 1962.) I think she took a lethal amount, (and the pills were much stronger then), throughout the day and evening, and everything just built up in her and caused her to stop breathing. Marilyn had terrible lungs and they could not handle the respiratory distress.
These days she'd be considered borderline personality . Abandonment issues, leading to attachment disorder, trust issues, anxiety & depression , mood swings etc. I don't know why Dr Greenson identified "flashes of schizophrenia" (in the widely respected book Goddess by A Summers). I'd like to know what that was based on as her pill addiction could have masked or misrepresented some of her issues. Her first husband also said she had a fear of leaving the house at one time, related to anxiety.
I think it's fair to say she was the most iconic woman in film history, and what an adorable laugh she had. It's the champagne of laughs.
HAHAHAHA
@@petersorensen4396?
When Marilyn enters the scene... she enters your life.... like a dream
@Francelee Paris: So true and an eloquent way of stating it.
The effect she has on all of us...She still Mesmerizes everyone because no one looks like her or possesses the 'Magic', poise and overall mannerisms that she captures us with.
One you do not wish to awaken from .💖💓💕
@@kingdomfreedom8323 so true
Beautifully put. Almost as beautiful as Marilyn herself.
Fun fact : tippy was the name of Marilyn's first dog , when Marilyn was young and she was Norma Jean she had a dog who would walk her to school and play with her at recess ( she was very lonely ) so tippy was one of her only friends , sadly tippy was shot by a neighbor who accused the dog of rolling in his plants
Thank you so much for that important fact of Marilyn's life!🌹
Thats so sad .. i mean killing her only friend back then
Oh my gosh her life was so tragic from the start
This is more of a terrible fact than a fun one 😅
Poor Tippy! The hell with the plants!
What a complete and unexpected pleasure to see this footage of Marilyn Monroe. I had no idea it existed. And in such great condition. Thanks so much for sharing!
They really didn’t need a lot more footage. They could’ve finished the film with just a few more Marilyn scenes, but “Move Over, Darling” is better. Doris seems more like a mother. James Garner and Doris seem more like a couple that would be married and have kids. Dean and Marilyn seem more like a married man who’s afraid his mistress is cheating on him, not his wife.
She is more seasoned here, less bubbly, but still very playful. She also looks very confident on screen too.
Remarkable woman, she knew her art perfectly well. Funny, that many people do not recognize her as one of the best actresses that ever lived and played in films.
She worked very hard at it. She wanted to be beautiful but that wasn't enough. She wanted to be great and she was/is.
the older she is the more beauty she has, amazing
I agree, some women are like that. Marilyn looked her best during this period.
At 36 Marylin was never lovelier
Than in this last picture.
She's just mesmerising on Screen.
You can't take your eyes off that Face. Her acting is so natural. Especially in scenes with the Children.
What a loss to the World and Movies her untimely death was.
A True legend who still lives on Screen at least, forever.
I so wish the Film had been Completed
I think Princess Diana was also 36 when we lost her, and, just like Marilyn, had never looked more beautiful than at that age.
After watching this even tho its incomplete is my favorite Marilyn Monroe movie damn I wish it was finished really enjoyed Dean Martin and Phil Silvers as well this would have been a classic I know it.
Marilyn was such a great actress. I love how she adored those kids
Marilyn doesn’t seem like a mother.
Glad this was uploaded, I loved seeing Marilyn with the children. I used to be sad at her early death, but now I think she lived as long as she was supposed to. Some lights aren't meant to burn for a long time. I just wish while she was here her life would have been easier for her.
Marylin ... oh my ... will never be anyone like her ... EVER! Truly the ultimate screen goddess of all time and for eternity.
hahahahaha what a joke
Thank you so much for sharing this 😀 RIP Dean Martin & Marylyn Monroe
✨🦋 She looks very beautiful in this movie. Her make up artist stated that this is the best Marilyn had ever looked. He even said she was in great shape. She went through so much during filming this.I wish that they continued it being that they redid her contract after firing her. 🥺
They did however have to heavily filter the camera
Yes but In GPB she was at her peak
she looks sadly sad and frail
poor thing
hard to watch
all her power is gone
poor darling
In that final scene she smiles at the end then a look of panic and fear comes over her face. Haunting and sad. I loved watching this. I never knew it existed in this part completed format. Thanks.
The childlike innocence of Marilyn is truly palpable.
Marilyn Monroe always overflowed from the screen! She was magic
her bust?
On screen magic, to be sure. in real life she was the opposite....some say impossible to work with, unreliable, unprofessional, imature and unacceptable.
@@classicalaid1 Who cares, these were problems of the directors and colleagues. What's important is the result she achieved and the emotion she was able to give to the public.
@@thesacredmonster2429 Hmmm....yes, you call yourself monster, do you?
@@classicalaid1 So what? Do you know what sacred monster means?
Of course, Marilyn was wonderful, but Dean Martin's so underrated as an actor.
Rent "Some Came Running" with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Shirley Maclaine. Fabulous movie directed by Vincente Minnelli. Dean Martin's best part EVER.
He actually isn't underrated at all 🙃 Younger folks might just not know any of the old stars ✨
And as Frank Sinatra said of him...Dean thought funny. I miss this era so much. When class was a social norm, and people were movie stars not celebrities, whatever the flock that means....
Indeed Dean Martin had Charisma and was a beautiful Comedy Man for example with Jerry Lewis. 💟💟
It's funny you couldn't have just said the latter. It's like an unspoken rule you have to worship this woman. It's so f'ng weird to me.
A damn shame this was never completed, and boy o' boy, she seems to have been at her most radiant, and the beginning stages of a fine actress too - the screen just crackles with delight when she appears in a scene... So much has been written and discussed about this film and the tragedy thereafter. It's hard to imagine what kind of film it would have been, if they could splice in another hour or so to fill in the missing plot holes. Perhaps some CGI magician will do just that in the near future.
c3cubed huh? Looks like strung out drug addict to me...
To the contrary: she's distracting for a modern viewer because she's a crack-up not an actress by this point.
HER GRACIOUS BEAUTY HER BEST LOOK IN ANY MOVIE IS THE SCENE IN THE SJHOE STORE WALLY COX IS SO ENDEARING FUNNY YES THIS WAS PERFECT MOVIE
@@amandajstar You sound uneducated on the topic.
Had this picture been finished it would have been one of her greatest films. She never looked better.
Something about watching Dean Martin in film, singing or anywhere - he has such decency and wholeness to him, I just feel better watching him.
Marilyn , beautiful for ever ! ❤
I was only 4 when you passed..."I would have loved to known you, but I was just a kid" ....
I will always hold a good thought for you .... You will be my #1 forever.... Happy 90th Birthday, June 1st, 2016 .. all my love .... Pax Vobiscum my Dear .....
I cant believe im just now seeing this! Suchhhh a good movie. Rest in peace marilyn.
+SuperCoral This movie isn't even finished..... It's so sad....
+Amber Lynn Martin This movie did get made, just not with this cast. The project with Dean, Marilyn and Cyd disbanded. The studio recast the film with Doris Day and James Garner and released it in 1963 renamed to _Move Over, Darling_. It's sad we didn't get to see this version of it, but I believe the Doris Day version ended up equally charming.
+abigguitar I think the Doris Day, James Garner version was a much better movie. You could sense a closer connected twosome. Besides both Day and Garner had wonderful exuberant personalities. So sad such a beautiful Marilyn was used over and over by Hollywood. Then murdered in spite by certain elites.
What a wonderful editing job this is. Accolades. I truly loved both of these actors when they were alive and still do, so this wonderful tribute is so heartwarming for me. As I watched, I kept thinking that, in the heavenly realms, they both feel satisfied that this was made with best of taste and is proof of the many hours spent in hard work. Both were wonderful people here on earth, both were human and were born actors. They are still helping us all in the spirit, understand the human condition in fun and humorous ways!
Couldn't have put better myself. Thank you
The remake with Doris is decent but I could never get over the fact that this was Marilyn's last film and the studio should have left it alone.
They actually hired back Marilyn to complete the film but she died before anything could be filmed .
The original with Cary Grant was soooo good.
@@getreal4real169 yes, it is such a good film, 1940, My Favorite Wife.
Irene Dunne & Gail Patrick were excellent, Grant- perfection as always.
I don't think Marilyn was the best choice for this role, completely unbelievable as a 'Mom'....& the movie was just silly for the sixties.
I can't picture Marilyn making it into the 1970's with movies SO different & her going into middle age. I don't think time would have been kind to her.
One thing I realized when I first saw Marilyn Monroe in a film was - she was intelligent. Whenever you see her in a scene you realize that - she had self possession and intelligence - tragedy she destroyed herself or fell victim to a system that destoryed her when she could have given so much - God bless her. She had personality class and intelligence yet dumbed herself down to fit an image. Had no idea this was a behind the scenes - at the end - "Cut, record!"
Marilyn was actually highly rated as the Actress with the best timing in Hollywood and with her acting skills and Magic, only she could play those Blonde Roles Perfectly. Those roles were an Act. Marilyn was actually shrewd and in 1956 formed her own Production Company with Milton Greene as part of the Production Team and Main Photo-Journalist.......She Hired and Salaried Sir Lawrence Olivier to play the Leading Male role alongside her in 'The Prince And The Showgirl' (Not everyone knows this Fact!!)
@@kojoharrison630 Life had taught her how to handle a situation, exposed in raw dependancy, she was passed around as a child to different foster homes, an intimacy with strangers it seems, tragically due to the instability of her mother & father's absence. A childhood that likely included roles she had to play even then so young adapting to a scripted set. Digging deep within & have the ability to disassociate herself from her real circumstances & learning how to please, whether it meant laughter or sweetness in the sense of smoothing over the rough introductions in Life. Reading people as transparently, I think it gave her a wisdom not normal to those who had not passed thru crisis so young, matured her early & gave her a star quality shone above the rest.
Her fans still, we love her & how truly unique her Life made her to be who she was, hopefully at intervals in time in certain scenarios, she was able to play in relax as herself & be the best of all happily her own person.
@@kojoharrison630 Also, though she had perfected the sex-symbol figure, had fun in comic flair & peaked in her career under the raw power of attraction, she herself wanted to play drama as she had a taste in craving for it. Her soul, as intellectual capacity longed for recognition as well her physical feats extraordinare. That denial was the tragedy that she wasn't allowed to branch away to suit her own desires, commit to her own dreams & fulfill herself that way whether it a box office hit or not padding the pockets of the movie industry making these decisions, but adding to her own sense of adequacy that she was more than enough..more than just an ordinary person, but uniquely qualifed to expand as far as the horizons could take her.
@@kingdomfreedom8323 Oh Absolutely Kingdom Freedom 🙏🏾👍🏾; well-said. You really reached into her Soul as she would have liked people around to have done then, but, she was far too many years ahead of her time for most to understand what they were seeing and experiencing.
@@kingdomfreedom8323 👍🏾👏🏾❤️
Very hard to watch knowing it was the last time we would see Marilyn Monroe in a film. EVER): Damn shame. Everybody who was great died young. MLK, Tupac, Notorious BIG, Malcolm X, John Lennon, James Dean, Dorothy Dandridge and Marilyn herself. I don't think we will ever see anything that beautiful again.
How bout Whitney?
Lady Fervor no they didn’t.
Not at all: Socrates, Churchill, Shakespeare, Elizabeth I, Trollope, Hobbes, Locke, Michelangelo, 'George Eliot', Paul McCartney -- to name a few.

So wonderful to see the scenes together like this! So wish she could have been with us longer!!!!
Sex moves
It would have been a wonderful film if it was finish. Marilyn could act well in my books.
This is amazing, the way the small number of available scenes have been put together to form a very good shortened version of the film. It's obvious to me that the completed movie would have been very popular. Looking at the credits, this appears to have been taken from a much longer major programme looking at Marilyn Monroe. It would be great to see the whole thing.

WOW this is so brilliantly put together from all the rushes, and music too!!! Never seen this, I'd seen a doc about the film and the outtakes. We all know the story behind this film but the finished result, I mean YOUR result, is wondeful. This is why it is called 'Show business' Watching this footage put together like this makes you forget all the stresses and strains making this movie caused Marilyn and indeed everyone connected with it at the time. Marilyn looks the best she'd ever looked in my humble opinion. Does anyone else agree?
I believe you are thinking about "The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe" which aired in 2004 on the cable channel still known by its full name of American Movie Classics. This assembled "feature" of all the scenes filmed before her death was specifically put together for that. The show included interviews with those still alive at the time, including screenwriter Hal Kanter and Cyd Charisse, the second wife. It took several years, as it also had footage with Steve Allen, who played Charisse's psychoanalyst, before his death in 2000.
Actually I was refering to a doc I saw in the early 90s but thanks for the message, it is all very interesting to a die hard fan like me.
@@mikehudson8884 This was assembled by another production crew at Fox that aired a Documentary about her in the early 2000s.
I had no idea this movie was almost the same as "Move Over, Darling." I found out tonight and searched for it. I loved all the romantic comedies of Doris Day. But this would have been better. Sometimes the Day films got a little too much comedy and this was just right. It is a pity it could not be finished. Marilyn is also a favorite of mine and I always thought she had perfect timing.
Except for that one moment of expression when she thinks her son is hurt - she was perfect. And Dean Martin was very understated but fine. I guess I just really like the storyline too.
What a shame it can't be completed now. Although, I can see it would be a big problem because of all the stars being gone.
But her take on the character is far more down to Earth that the Day film.
The ending is so sad.
I wish they made clothing like this.. Marilyn looks so classy, oh how I'd love to dress in those times 🥂💋
You can you know there are plenty of clothing brands that recreate vintage clothing go for it if that’s what you want to do!
Fantastic! So much was done. This cut together so well was like seeing a brand new classic of the era!
She was so beautiful she really looked her best ever in those final scenes
That would have been such a wonderful film. God how I wish it was finished.
I love her real voice. What an amazing lady.
This voice was much more pleasant than the one she would use in the 50’s. That one sounded to child like, forced and “accented” in my opinion
Her own voice was so much nicer.. I had to rewind it because it was so nice to her her speak with her own voice ❤❤
Exquisite, beautiful Marilyn and a consummate light comedienne. Can't take my eyes off her.
This was so cute! I wish they had been able to complete it. She and Martin made a great duo.
Oh my God she looks so lovely..so relaxed....so sophisticated, so gorgeous,so enchanting.!!!...why do they have to kill her ?..This was 1962 just before her death..very sad she didnt do more movies.. she was in her best time....so many people loved her..but the a few that hurted her are in Hell now...She born with a natural histrionic art!! Intelligent,charismatic,and sweet!!!
She looks so beautiful..so ANGELIC...Glory to our immortal Goddess MARILYN MONROE!!!
OH MY GOD, I can't believe how beautiful she was, she was absolutely beautiful!!
Marilyn was gorgeous in this movie. She was at her game. But you see how lovely she looked during her birthday song to President Kennedy. That took place during the filming of the movie.
It was rumored that she had been too close to the Presidential circle and was bumped off with an overdose by government agents because she knew too much.
she looks very thin here and was quite full figured when she sang to Kennedy.
Marilyn isn't using her breathy "dumb blonde" voice here. It's refreshing. She does look thinner than usual.
That’s not a “dumb blonde” voice you dipshit. A dumb blonde voice is the voice of a blonde that’s dumb, Marilyn was a highly intelligent woman!!!
@@Paris-jv8xo they never said Marilyn was dumb, but if you watch her earlier movies you'll notice she does play a stereotypical "dumb blonde" character in a few of them, especially when she played Lorelai in gentlemen prefer blondes
@@christiannightshade5886 I had read in a 1962 Life magazine article that Marilyn last interview was in. Marilyn said in the article that she was tired of playing one type of role and that she wanted to do more serious roles like Elizabeth Taylor had played
Good point, I agree, by all accounts she was sick of doing the dumb blonde voice too..But in those early days that was what the studio wanted from her. She never liked doing the 'dumb blonde' it's well documented. It is refreshing you're so right. Nice to see Marilyn entering another chapter of her life and career.....
@@christiannightshade5886 still a great movie though
BEAUTIFULLY DONE ! This is as close to a complete movie they would have gotten. Totally different feel with the original cast. I do love "Move Over Darling". It's a fun romantic comedy with Doris Day, James Garner and Polly Bergan. The Monroe, Martin version is certainly more sophisticated and sexy, but then you did have Marilyn and Dean. Great job on putting it together. Congratulations !
Don't forget the 1940 original with Irene Dunne and Cary Grant
@@adam32492 "My Favorite Wife" was good, but I like the Day, Garner version better.
Love Marilyn love Dean. Just didn't believe they were married. IDk
The saddest words that have been .....WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
The one thing I hope they would have added is a more heartfelt moment when he see's his wife for the first time and realizes she's not dead...
Still don't get why they tried to make her look like a pill popping wreck. She was spot on and looked greater then ever. Murder.
Sadly, your statement isn't true. She had almost killed herself less than two weeks earlier at a Hollywood party. She retreated to the coat room and took a bunch of pills. Also there's a lot of testimony of her calling just about every single person on Earth that she knew and cared about the night of her death. Sadly none of them went to her rescue. The reason? The same reason that James Spade didn't go to Chris Farley's rescue the night that he called him. Too many nights crying wolf. Too many nights where somebody that you cared about was in a disastrous situation for the upteenth time. They always pull through in the past, sadly that last night they didn't.
That's why Joe DiMaggio had such massive amounts of Survivor guilt. That's why Jane Spade to this day has survivor's guilt for Chris Farley. That's why Dan Aykroyd as Survivor guilt for John Belushi. These people are lovable and larger-than-life, and deeply damaged. We just want a better explanation than they couldn't take their last High.
It's sad. It's tragic. But it is true that Marilyn accidentally killed herself. No murder.
Sean Patrick Kennedy David Spade, not James Spade
betequeue “pill popping wreck”.. bro you ever heard of mental illness???
Sean Patrick Kennedy There is actually more evidence pointing towards murder than suicide, tragically.
Just because someone looks beautiful doesn’t mean they are not depressed
I watched the making of this movie, all the takes all the cuts dealing of a dog that didn't want to listen to its trainer and the children that flubbed lines and then asked what did I do wrong, but now seeing it put all together it's amazing What actors go through just to do a scene the different takes the different angles and then they have to splice it all together for the final cut ...wow
Too bad they never got to finish the movie,
One of the saddest thing was the director and producer dragged her back into the Studio to do the scene with the kids and later the scene of her in the swimming pool nude took over 4 hours she was already sick with a 102 fever and a sinus infection and the doctors told the studio she needed at least two weeks to recuperate before she can continue but they forced her back into the studio to do those scenes anyway
R.I.P Marilyn Monroe 💝
She's so beautiful. I don't think she ever really knew just how gorgeous she was.
I wish it had been finished so bad! Dean and Marilyn would be awesome together! Love hearing Frank in the beginning to
Forget the looks and be sad. I think she really would have been a great mom!
I think if she had been able To have achild she would have given up acting happily Yo be a Mother.
She had miscarriages.
I'm a big fan of Marilyn and I think her films have been bolder since the 1960s than those from the 1950s and Marilyn herself underwent a metamorphosis because the stereotype of stupid blonde changed into a full-fledged woman and it was amazing ;)
Poor baby she was so messed up inside. This was very difficult to even do any of this length of it, Late,drunk,under influence all of the time. She couldn't get over what ever had her bewitched . She did her best ,that's good enough for me
Only Marilyn could outshine the beauty of Cyd Charisse. Simply wow!.
Both of them looked stunning
@@Joeblogs999 The acting, dancing, or singing?
@@Joeblogs999 That's okay. I don't think narcissism is the right word though. She flaunted it.
@@Joeblogs999 I think if you read into Marilyn's life and understand it, you'll find she was quite modest and humble. There were times she expressed dissatisfaction with her appearance and talent, and I don't think you fully understand what narcissism is because if you did you'd feel quite certain she didn't have it. She had no vanity in the slightest degree and many who knew her know this to be true as they had expressed it in interviews.
@@Joeblogs999 Many hold the same opinion as I do, and it's not just an opinion; it's a fact. You diagnose her with narcissism as if you're a psychiatrist. A lot of these man she allegedly had affairs with were just gossip and rumours. She was very generous and kind. You very ignorant and uninformed about her. Go and study the facts.
I just realized that this was uploaded on my 20th birthday, and it just so happens that as a birthday present that day my parents gave me the book "Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words." For those who haven't read this book, I highly recommend it.
I've read it and I agree with you. Marilyn was something very special from the moment you see her outshine Bette Davis in All About Eve.
Charming and unforgettable!!!!!
It is not a remake of Move Over Darling. After Marilyn Monroe died and Dean Martin bowed out as a result, the project was recast with Doris Day and renamed.
@@steveb1164 Love Marilyn and liked the Doris Day version but Irene Dunne owned this role especially since she had Cary Grant
@@adam32492 yes that's (My Favourite Wife) the very best with very witty lines too

Loved this era . People looked clean and neat.Happy, laughing and smiles. A thing of the past memories.🍃
Love watching her screen test over again. Marilyn had a new look and was as beautiful as ever in what film they managed to find of her in Somethings got to give. Deano wouldn't work with another actress so his manager got him out of the contract. RIP MARILYN 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jeez, that abrupt ending. I _really_ wanted to see how this turns out. R.I.P., Norma Jean.
There are two far superior versions of this movie: My Favorite Wife with Cary Grant and Irenne Dunne in the 40s and Move Over Darling with James Garner and Doris Day around 1963 (best).
I prefer the Cary Grant version and I think I would have loved the Dean and Marilyn version. I've never been too crazy about Move Over Darling.
Maria de vries the Saturday night show
Felt the exact same way, Marilyn even looks startled when they call cut she was engrossed in the role.
D Jordan It was going to be her best role.
Wow, I haven't even gotten through the first 5 minutes of this movie and writing is vicious! I Love it!
Wow! Those last seconds, when she jumps at "cut". Did me in. ;) I've only seen the widely broadcast pool scene, until now. Thank you for posting this.
How I wish circumstances weren’t as they were, and this movie had been finished. It was poised to be Marilyn Monroe‘s best and Cyd is phenomenal. And I adore the fashions of 1962.
Cyd looked stunning, as always
Yes I was thinking the same thing. Cyd was no spring chicken by 1962 but still so beautiful and elegant.
Watched the Doris Day version yesterday , I'm a huge huge Monroe fan but I have to admit I'm so glad it was remade .
Movie your referring to s MOVE OVER DARLING...I have it in the collection.
I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m glad the remake with Doris Day was made. The original with Cary Grant can’t be topped though.
She was more beautiful than I remembered, nice to think Marilyn and Dino have met up wherever they are now.
I never saw Marilyn so thin, but she still looked great. She was an underrated actress, especially when given a good role like ‘The Misfits.’🤗
The Misfits, being written by her husband, Arthur Miller, was basically just MM....
I find it hard to watch. Gable, Montgomery Clift, Marilyn - it is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen.
This is a great movie. Marilyn was a great and beautiful actress. So sad how she died so young. 60 years ago and she is still remembered in the hearts of all. May she R.I.P. ❤
So greatly missed! She acts so naturally! A very lovely and sweet woman and artist in love with.... LIFE!
