"Something's Gotta Give" (2003) -- Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Amanda Peet, Keanu Reeves, Frances McDormand; directed by Nancy Meyers. In what used to be termed a "sophisticated comedy," senior citizen scamp Nicholson hits a bump on the road to younger women: Keaton, the mother of one of his girlfriends.

"Move Over, Darling" (1963) -- Doris Day, James Garner, Polly Bergen, Thelma Ritter, Fred Clark, Don Knotts; directed by Michael Gordon. Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin were in the midst of filming "Something's Gotta Give" (unrelated to the Nicholson-Keaton picture) at the time of her death. The project was never finished, but it was retooled as a vehicle for Doris Day. Based on the 1940 Cary Grant and Irene Dunne comedy, "My Favorite Wife," a woman, who has been declared legally dead, shows up at her husband's next honeymoon, causing fluffy complications.
