Something's Got to Give is an unfinished American feature film shot in 1962, directed by George Cukor for 20th Century Fox and starring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Cyd Charisse. A remake of My Favorite Wife (1940), a screwball comedy starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, it was Monroe's last work.
Principal photography began on April 23, 1962, without Monroe present on set, who had said she suffered from bouts of illness. Monroe did arrive on set to film several scenes on select days in May 1962 before she left to sing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to U.S. President John F. Kennedy at his birthday celebration in Madison Square Garden. She returned to Hollywood to film her naked swimming sequence, where she donned a flesh-colored bikini to appear nude. Monroe suggested being photographed in the nude, in which several photographers were invited to take pictures of her. Monroe's last full day of filming was on Friday, June 1, her 36th birthday. Afterwards, Monroe was unavailable on Monday, June 4, due to severe illness.
In December 1961, Rock Hudson had been offered the part but he too was unavailable. Steve Forrest was approached, but Monroe did not agree on his casting. Stuart Whitman was also mentioned and Robert Goulet was unavailable as he was performing in the Broadway musical Camelot. Jack Lemmon and John Gavin were floated as potential candidates, but Monroe would not agree. By late March 1962, Dean Martin was cast opposite in the role. Martin stipulated he had final approval of his leading lady, and should Monroe be replaced, he would either approve the replacement or else not complete the film.
