Synopsis
In John Huston's drama, sophisticated but emotionally crippled Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe, giving what many believe to be her strongest performance) has come to Nevada to gain a quick and easy divorce. When her landlady introduces her to aging, broken cowboy Gay Langland (Clark Gable), she finally finds herself with a worthy partner. Meanwhile, Gay and his fellow horsemen Guido and Perce (Eli Wallach and Montgomery Clift, respectively) scheme to capture a herd of wild horses. Though megawatt star power and a brilliant script by Arthur Miller failed to turn THE MISFITS into box office success (probably due a legendarily troubled shoot), time and critical reputation treated it very kindly. It was the final film for icons Gable and Monroe.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of an era..., 25 Jun 2008

By	Sara Chung (SF, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At the time it was being filmed, The Misfits was supposed to be the next great American film. the screen play was written by Pulitzer prize winning Arthur Miller for his wife Marilyn Monroe. It was directed by the legendary John Huston and stared Iconic Hollywood actors Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, and Monroe. For Monroe and Gable it would be there last film. it was received well by critics when it was released but with the public it was a box office failure. America was not ready for a modern western that showed the myth of the cowboy was over and those remaining trying to live by its code were Misfits. Over the years the movie has attained a cult status. A must see for fans of Monroe, Gable, Clift, and Huston and for fans of movie history. The movie heralded a new era in Hollywood. I also have to Recommend Misfits Country for a dramatic look behind the scenes of the making of this movie---a movie within a movie so to speak.

4.0 out of 5 stars END OF AN ERA?, 18 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Misfits [VHS] [1961] (VHS Tape)

Arthur Miller's poignant screenplay written for his then wife, Marilyn Monroe, directed by John Huston, co starring Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift seems to sum up the passing of one era and the start of another. Filmed on location in Nevada, July through to November 1960, the film catches the three main characters each at a crossroads in their lives. Monroe and Gable's performances are amongst their finest here, but also their last. The film isn't a laugh a minute but is still thought provoking and points out that for one thing to live another must die. There is a wistful scene where " Guido" (played by Eli Wallach) points up at the night sky and remarks that by the time the light from the stars reaches Earth they have already "died" and if you think most of the players in The Misfits are no longer with us . Go see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 29 Oct 2003

By	G. Stephens "Blah, blah, blah" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is brilliantly tragic. The cast are superb and an ominous sense of doom surrounds the film, this is implicit in the title and in hindsight, it is also emphasised by the fact that it was to be the last film of the three leading actors, who died after shooting the film. It is particularly touching to see Marilyn in a role where she does not play the pouty, doe eyed bimbo which pursued her throughout her career. Instead Marilyn is a sensitive, troubled soul who finds, in a sense, solace with her fellow "Misfits"- this I also find rather ironic as it is as though the true Marilyn Monroe is revealed. I found this film very humane, and Miller's script is perfect in its grasp of raw humanity.
