The Misfits

● FILM /

Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift star in this 1961 film

A double bill (with Suddenly Last Summer) featuring Montgomery Clift, who would have turned 100 this year. Having Arthur Miller as screenwriter and John Huston as director is impressive, but The Misfits cast is also top-notch. Along with Clift, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Eli Wallach form the misfits of the title in a tale made all the more poignant by the fact that this was the last complete film ever made by both Monroe and Gable. ★★★★ JP
