Synopsis
A documentary focusing on Marilyn Monroe's final days and the production of the 1967 film *Something Got to Give* explores the challenges she faced during this period of her life. The film, directed by George Cukor, was one of Monroe's last major projects and marked a return to the studio system after a brief hiatus. The documentary delves into the pressures Monroe endured, including her difficult working conditions, personal struggles, and the scrutiny from the media and studio executives. It also examines the production history of the film, which was originally intended to star Ginger Rogers, and how Monroe's involvement reshaped the project. The film was released just months before Monroe's untimely death in August 1962, and the documentary seeks to provide insight into the emotional and physical toll the production may have had on her.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 13
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
