The Misfits 4k Restoration (PG)
Dir. John Huston, US, 1961, 125 mins. Cast. Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach.
In celebration of the centenary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth, The Misfits, her last and most poignant film, has been restored.
On the surface, Huston's film is an off-beat drama of broken-hearted cowboys and broken-down marriages; of a dying American Dream. Behind the scenes, the production itself was fraught. As well as contending with the searing heat of the desert, Marilyn Monroe’s own marriage to screenwriter Arthur Miller was breaking apart, and the actor’s mental health was spiralling. The film would be the last for both Monroe and her co-star Clark Gable. Miller's script proved poignant and prophetic when it had one character, shotgun in hand, explain to the crew of horse wranglers gathered on the barren Nevada desert: "you'll probably never see this again in history, you know."
