John Huston’s elegiac anti-western The Misfits, Marilyn Monroe’s final film, will be released in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on 5 June to mark the centenary of Monroe’s birth.
Written by Arthur Miller, The Misfits is a touching and off-beat drama of broken-hearted cowboys and broken-down marriages, co-starring Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift as an aging cowboy and a rodeo-rocked bull rider, both with bittersweet memories of a west that’s no longer wild.
Infused with the promises of what could have been if she had been given more time to explore her skills as a dramatic performer, Marilyn Monroe delivers one of her very best performances.
