(John Huston, US 1961, 124 min.)

The Misfits brought together three legendary performers: Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, and Marilyn Monroe, in a story of lonely, modern-day cowboys and the woman who loves them. Arthur Miller’s screenplay, Russell Metty’s somber black-and-white images, and final performances by Monroe and Gable give this film a profoundly elegiac tone.
