Marilyn Monroe plays Roslyn, a sexy and terribly naive divorcée. Seriously, somebody smack that woman!! But somehow that is what makes her character interesting, she totally get's on your nerves, but it's kind of sad how all those men act around her. They're all looking at her as...( read more)
I wondered who the Misfits were in this film - the mustangs or the people. It is worth watching this movie.
Marilyn Monroe actually acts and one wonders if her sad role (in this film written by her husband at the time) had anything to do with Marilyn's life at the time. Of c...( read more)
a tough watch, with history more tragic than the story itself. monroe's best performance was also her last; gable looks sick playing one of his most vulnerable roles and monty clift is like someone else with that broken face...when roslyn says 'we're all dying' u can believe it...( read more)
I enjoyed this film much more then I expected to.
It's one of those films that doesn't immediately grab you...but that when you just sit back and allow the story to unfold...it really sucks you in.
By the end of the film I was pleasantly surprised and quite moved. More so ...( read more)
Monroe's Attempt at a serious film, and her final appearance. I must say I found her unconvincing, and the film as a whole rather dull.
I enjoyed this, if nothing else but for Monroe's continually insightful quotations throughout. Knowing the truth behind her performance is enough to break your heart again and again. The honesty shines through for each of the central actors, and what otherwise might have been an...( read more)
Marilyn Monroe's lead performance is far from being impressive, but to my surprise it has no negative impact on the film overall. Her performance is one note - all wistfully whispered dialogue and forced pauses; but she serves well as a vessel for the audience to meet the other c...( read more)
I think Clark Gable was catered to because, "Hey, it's Clark Gable! Who cares if he's in his 60's?!" or however old of a senior citizen he was then. The ending was the completion of the point that says, "This was a weird movie".
I understood what was going on, it just didn't mak...( read more)
The Misfits (1961)
Clark Gable was a Hollywood icon of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Now coming into the 60s, he showed us that he could still hold his own against younger talent like Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, and Marilyn Monroe. Could you see a John Wayne play this character? ...( read more)
Gonna have to see this again. What a sad little crew, held together not so much by love for each other but by the lack of love they can find outside their pathetic gathering... Makes you wish you had friends like this. Maybe it's because this Monroe's last movie, but she seems especialy haunted in her role... and maybe that's why Gable seems so desperate too (it's his last flick as well)
...and this has one of the stupidest cowboys to date.
