The Misfits (1961 Film)
''The Misfits'' is a 1961 American contemporary Western film directed by John Huston and written by Arthur Miller, based on his 1957 short story of the same name. The film stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift, with supporting performances by Thelma Ritter and Eli Wallach. The narrative follows a recently divorced woman who becomes entangled in the lives of three men—an aging cowboy, his pilot-mechanic friend, and a quiet rodeo rider—while staying in Reno, Nevada. The film was released theatrically in the United States on February 1, 1961, by United Artists. Though a commercial failure upon release, it was praised for its screenplay and performances.

It marked the final completed screen appearances for both Gable and Monroe, who died shortly after the film’s release.

Alex Finlayson
Alex Finlayson was an American playwright whose work found more success on the English stage than in the United States. After winning a Mobil Oil International Playwriting Prize, ''Winding the Ball'' was produced by The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, which also commissioned and produced Finlayson's ''Misfits'' (1996) and ''Tobaccoland'' (1999). All three plays starred American stage and film actress Lisa Eichhorn and were directed by Greg Hersov. Finlayson's play, ''Misfits'', was inspired by Arthur Miller's autobiography, '' Timebends'', specifically his account of the 1961 film The Misfits as a "valentine" for his wife Marilyn Monroe. ''Misfits'' portrays the film's historic box office and artistic failure as the fault of screenwriter Miller, director John Huston, and producer Frank Taylor, and not its star, Marilyn Monroe, who is most often blamed for the film disaster. ''Misfits'' received mixed reviews, with some critics attacking Finlayson for daring to put M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
