In 1990, this 45-minute documentary was made about Something's got to give, the last and unfinished movie of Marilyn Monroe. It shows footage of a new reel of Iran's Royal Couple visiting 20th Century Studios in Hollywood. They get to meet George Cukor,Cary grant, Ronald Reagan, and get to watch the shooting of a scene with Cyd Charisse and Steve Allen on the Set of Marylin Monroe's Film. (Source: persianrealm.com)
A Studio executive explains how Monroe was absent on that day and hesitated to be presented to the Shah and Shahbanou because she was wary of the fact that as leaders of a Muslim country they may be against the State of Israel. The executive (clearly jewish himself) manages to convince her of the contrary and convinces Monroe to meet the Royal couple later.
