In the early 1960s, two movies with the major female stars of the time, Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor, ended bankrupting 20th Century Fox. This is the story of these two movies: Joseph L. Mankiewicz's over-priced super-production "Cleopatra" and George Cukor's unfinished "Something's Got to Give", which production tragically and abruptly stopped because of the demise of Marilyn Monroe.
