Continuing our celebration of the centennial of Marilyn Monroe's birth. In John Huston's The Misfits (1961), While filing for a divorce, beautiful ex-stripper Roslyn Taber (Marilyn Monroe) ends up meeting aging cowboy-turned-gambler Gay Langland (Clark Gable) and former World War II aviator Guido Racanelli (Eli Wallach). The two men instantly become infatuated with Roslyn and, on a whim, the three decide to move into Guido's half-finished desert home together. When grizzled ex-rodeo rider Perce Howland (Montgomery Clift) arrives, the unlikely foursome strike up a business capturing wild horses. Screenplay by Arthur Miller; Directed by John Huston. Final film for both Gable and Monroe. Introduced by New York State Librarian and Film Historian Philip Harwood.
