Making the Misfits

Making the Misfits

0 - Default Title
Description
With John Huston directing a cast of Hollywood icons including Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in a haunting screenplay by Arthur Miller, The Misfits was one of the most anticipated films of 1961--but difficult shooting locations, an unruly director, a crumbling marriage, an aging leading man and an unstable leading lady made the behind-the-scenes story of the film's production anything but ideal. Indeed, the film would turn out to be the final work of Gable and Monroe, and nearly the last appearance of Montgomery Cliff. Luckily, this take of a collection of loners in Reno, Nevada also happened to be documented by nine photographers from the renowned agency Magnum Photos, including such acclaimed names as Henri Cartier-Bresson and the late Inge Morath. With complete access to the day-to-day happenings on the set, their work captured a fascinating tableau of life imitating art and vice versa. Now featuring stunning Magnum photographs and new first-person accounts from Arthur Miller, Eli Wallach and surviving crew members, MAKING THE MISFITS illuminates the twilight moments of this fabled Hollywood production.
