Movie Reviews of Marilyn Monroe - The Final Days
Movie Review: Interesting for casual fans, but the movie stinks
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm no expert on Monroe, so this tied together most of the relevant details surrounding her ill-starred final days. It's clear that her suicide may not have been intentional. The resurrected footage of her final film appears very corny by today's standards. It's hard to believe the public bought this awful stuff not that long ago. Neither Monroe, nor her cos-star, Dean Martin, could ever get away with acting this lame today. But they must be judged by the standards of their day, I guess. You can imagine the parallels with today's starlets like Lindsey Lohan, perhaps.
Summary of Marilyn Monroe - The Final Days
Over 40 years after Marilyn Monroe's death halted production on 20th Century Fox's light comedy Something's Got To Give, this celebration of the ultimate screen goddess offers viewers the world premiere of the edited reconstruction of her final film.In The Final Days, producer-director Patty Ivins chronicles Marilyn Monroe's final, aborted feature film, Something's Got to Give, which was ultimately shut down after the star was dismissed from the production. Beyond Monroe's fragile emotional and physical health, this well-crafted profile examines the financial crisis facing her studio as well as the mounting frustration of meticulous director George Cukor and his cast, including costar Dean Martin, as Monroe's absences drove the shoot over budget. The 2001 documentary, which was previously available only as part of The Diamond Collection, concludes with a 40-minute reconstruction of footage completed for the feature, which would subsequently be reshot as a vehicle for Doris Day and James Garner, Move Over, Darling. --Sam Sutherland
