Marilyn Monroe: It's All Make Believe: THE MISFITS
Marilyn Monroe: It's All Make Believe
"The film’s end of an era desolation feels more sombre than ever; the last film for both Clark Gable and [Marilyn] Monroe and a melancholy late role for Montgomery Clift."—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
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.
