Product Description

Product Description

Expertly directed by John Huston (The Maltese Falcon) from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Miller, The Misfits is a probing, exciting drama (The Film Daily) of honesty, intensity and sheer poetic brilliance. Divorced and disillusioned, Roslyn Tabor (Marilyn Monroe) befriends a group of misfits, including an aging cowboy (Clark Gable), a heartbroken mechanic (Eli Wallach) and a worn-out rodeo rider (Montgomery Clift). Through their live-for-the-moment lifestyle, Roslyn experiences her first taste of freedom, exhilaration and passion. But when her innocent idealism clashes with their hard-edged practicality, Roslyn must risk losing their friendship...and the only true love she's ever known.

It was the last roundup for Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, who gave their final performances in this melancholy modern Western. Arthur Miller wrote the script (some say overwrote) as a contemplation of his then-wife, Monroe, and set the piece in the half-world of Reno, Nevada. The dangers of this kind of meta-fictional approach are not entirely avoided, but the clean, clear-eyed direction of John Huston keeps the film grounded. And then there are the people: Gable a warrior past his time, Monroe overwhelmed by the world and its attentions, Montgomery Clift visibly broken in pieces, Eli Wallach a postwar neurotic. If the encroaching mortality of Gable, Monroe, and Clift weren't enough, the stark photography and Alex North's score confirm this as a film about loss. It may have its problems, but seen at a distance of many years, The Misfits scatters its tender mercies with an aching beauty. --Robert Horton

I had to chime in here. The MISFITS is a Must Have movie for any Marilyn Monroe fan. It was written by her then husband and GREAT playwright Arthur Miller. In it you can see so many sides of the real Marilyn. It was tough for marilyn to get through this film and sad that at the end she had to face that Miller was having an affair with a makeup girl. Divorce followed, but the film does show that in many ways Miller DID love Marilyn.This film will break your heart, lift your heart, and cause you to really wonder about life. It will show you many different types of love. Love for a friend, for a lover, for a crush, for a person, for an image.. love for the beauty of a woman in a bar, love for the beauty of a man on a rodeo horse.. and even love for a war hero who turns out to have a terrible view on life and love even though he himself in his heart is beautiful.Clark Gable was wonderful all through it. And its strange as well that the last lines of the film are spoken by Monroe and Gable to each-other, while just a little while after they both left this world and passed away. This was the last movie for Marilyn Monroe and the last for Clark Gable as well.Marilyn as a girl used to carry a photo of Gable in her purse as a girl and teen because she had seen a photo of her father once and he looked like him to her. This was from what she says in her book "My Story" an unfinished book. I find it touching that the last film she stars in just so happens to include Gable and her together trying to understand each-other in a very upside-down world where you have to choose between love, money, shoulds, and everything else. A comparison might be rebel without a cause in terms of the emotions and mixed up feelings everyone has in this film.Everyone has their story and their personality. We all make our choices.Finding people who can fit into your life in a healthy way is the key.. but where are they? Who do we choose? That is the main story of The Misfits.. each character is a misfit or someone that stands out or hardly belongs with the masses in some way shape or form.. so now, what do they do with eachother?Its an AMAZING movie.One that always brings me tears.
