Movie Description
The Misfits is a 1961 Western drama film directed by John Huston. The screenplay was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller, who was married to the film's star, Marilyn Monroe, at the time. The film also stars Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift. Set in Nevada, the plot follows a recently divorced woman (Monroe) who forms a relationship with an aging cowboy (Gable) and his friends. As they struggle to capture wild horses (called 'misfits') for a living, they each grapple with their personal demons. The film is notable as the last completed film for both Monroe and Gable. The movie failed at the box office but is now praised for its stellar performances.
