SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE is what MOVE OVER DARLING would have been had Marilyn Monroe not been fired by Fox and it's a shame it wasn't completed because what's here is choice. Monroe returns home after being on a desert isle with Tom Tryon only to find out husband Dean Martin is marrying Cyd Charisse. She tries to get him jealous with Wally Cox(!)substituting for Tryon. It's silly, fun and extremely well put together by the master George Cukor, who managed to squeeze out a lot with very little. Martin is Martin, Monroe is terrific (and stunning!) and Charisse is gorgeous. Phil Silvers pops up briefly as the insurance adjuster and Steve Allen is pretty funny as a then pop-psychiatrist. If nothing else, the film is of historic importance.
