The Misfits (Marilyn Monroe Centenary)

English | USA | 125 mins | 1961 | Cert: PG | Dir: John Huston

Marylin Monroe’s final film, elegiac anti-western The Misfits, is a touching and off-beat drama of broken-hearted men and broken-down marriages, co-starring Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift as an aging cowboy and rodeo-rocked bull rider, both with bittersweet memories of a west that’s no longer wild. Infused with the promises of what could have been if she was given more time as a dramatic performer, Monroe delivers one of her very best performances ever.
