Sophisticated, but emotionally crippled Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe, giving what many believe to be her strongest performance) has come to Nevada to gain a quick and easy divorce. When her landlady introduces her to aging, broken cowboy Gay Langland (Clark Gable), she finally finds herself with a worthy partner. Meanwhile, Gay and his fellow horsemen Guido and Perce (Eli Wallach and Montgomery Clift) scheme to capture a herd of wild horses. Though megawatt star power and a brilliant script by Arthur Miller failed to turn THE MISFITS into box office success (probably due a legendarily troubled shoot), time and critical reputation treated it very kindly. It was the final film for icons Gable and Monroe. [Less]

Powerful character study by Arthur Miller, and a must-see due to Gable, Clift, and Monroe.

A brave deconstruction of the Wild West’s mythos, as well as a searing study of the lingering death of the American Dream.

The Misfits is about some modern day Reno denizens who have trouble fitting into society...

The Misfits (1961) is a poignant drama - the final, haunting film for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe.
