Directed by John Huston and written by Arthur Miller, The Misfits is a haunting drama from the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood, starring Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in what would be their final screen appearances.
While filing for divorce, beautiful ex-stripper Roslyn Taber meets aging cowboy-turned-gambler Gay Langland and former World War II aviator Guido Racanelli. The two men instantly become infatuated with Roslyn and, on a whim, the three decide to move into Guido’s half-finished desert home together. When grizzled ex-rodeo rider Perce Howland arrives, the unlikely foursome strike up a business capturing wild horses.
Shot in magnificent black-and-white widescreen by cinematographer Russell Metty and directed with rugged poetry by John Huston, The Misfits is the elegiac last testament of an entire era of American cinema, and the most personal film Miller, Monroe, Gable, and Huston ever made.
