The Misfits (movie)
The Misfits is a 1961 American movie, written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starring Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. It was both Monroe's and Gable's last film. Filming was completed on November 4, 1960 and it was released the following year.
The Misfits depicts the chance meeting and unlikely love affair in Reno, Nevada of a depressive divorcée, Roslyn Taber (Monroe), and Gay Langland (Gable), an aging ex-cowboy prone to gambling and surviving on mustang rustling. He then sells the horses to slaughterhouses for the manufacture of dog food. Montgomery Clift and Eli Wallach provide supporting roles as Perce Howland and Guido.
The "misfits" of the title are both the weak horses which are most likely to be caught in the cruel roping, and the weak, sad characters of the story, unable to find satisfaction and picked off, one at a time, by fate.
