  "Something's Got To Give" with Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Cyd Charisse. Directed by George Cukor. It was Marilyn's final and unfinished film. She was fired from the picture and then rehired to finish in the week or so before her death... There was a small short film put together from what completed scenes existed. Monroe never looked better. She was I believe the first American actress to film a nude scene... It is worth watching the link just for that... She WAS beautiful..... After Monroe's death, Martin refused to go on without Monroe and walked away from the project. The film was reimagined as a project for Doris Day, James Garner and Polly Bergen.

i second that. It is truly a good one from the thirties forties first golden age.

Cary grant was a true star. I was surprised to hear a guy pushing a book about tab hunter on the radio saying he , grant, used to cruse for handsome actors new in town employed at a little gas station at the start of one of the canyons down by the coast, known for that kind of thing.

I never could get enough of that car he drove i topper. I always wanted more of it, but it was just a prop. Still a heck of a car,thirties high society style, not many had a mono fin,

i suppose with digital i could now stop the scenes and get a better sense of the car. I'm sure the car is well known, custom bodies were the way it was done back then, what a playboy car.
