Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Arthur Miller

With John Huston directing a cast of Hollywood icons including Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in a haunting screenplay by Arthur Miller, "The Misfits" was one of the most anticipated films of 1961--bu...( read more  read more... )t difficult shooting locations, an unruly director, a crumbling marriage, an aging leading man, and an unstable leading lady made the behind-the-scenes story of the film's production anything but ideal. The film would turn out to be the final work of both Gable and Monroe and nearly the last appearance of Montgomery Clift. Luckily nine photographers from the renowned Magnum Agency documented this tale of loners in Reno, Nevada; with complete day-to-day access on the set, their work captured a fascinating tableau of life imitating art and vice versa. Now the stunning Magnum images and new first-person accounts from Arthur Miller, Eli Wallach, and surviving crew members illuminate the twilight moments of this fabled Hollywood production.

    Marilyn Monroe is exactly everything that I despise in celebrities and the opposite sex. Her life was always about being noticed for her body, and she would do anything to be noticed and to be rich. She is most famous for having an affair with who I deem to be the worst presid...( read more)ent ever, JFK. She also has an annoying voice and could not act for crap. As far as her movies go, you can count me out, for I would rather spend a day listening to Whoopi attempt to sound intelligent.

    Complicated film. Great acting from Gable, Monroe wasted in this.. Actually her lateness on the set ultimately cost Gable his life. He fell for Marolyn and didn't want her to be in trouble so he single handedly entertained everyone while she was late... Caused a great strain on h...( read more)is heart.

    Vale a nice guy and a Superstar of the Silver Screen..
