The Misfits - Dungeness Beach - Friday 23 August - Pizza and music from 7pm, Screening at Sunset 8.06pm
The Misfits 1961 (Dir. John Huston)
At Rebel Reel we love Double Denim and no-one did Double Denim better than Marilyn Monroe! This was her last (and best - she won the 1961 Golden Globe Award for ‘World Film Favourite’
Filmed on a dry lake bed in Nevada, this is why we’re showing it on Dungeness … endless sky and horizons … The Misfits was written by Marilyn’s then husband Arthur Miller as an anti Western Western)
Marilyn was 34 years old when The Misfits was released, few could have imagined that it would be her cinematic swan song, though Huston later mentioned that—given her penchant for finding comfort in substances while her marriage to Miller crumbled—he felt “absolutely certain that she was doomed.”
The Misfits was also the last film for Marilyn’s co-star and childhood screen idol Clark Gable, who died less than two weeks after filming was completed in November 1960. Few of The Misfits‘ principal cast would survive the decade, with Gable and Monroe followed in death by Montgomery Clift in 1966 and Thelma Ritter in 1969.
The Misfits begins with Roslyn Tabor (Monroe) seeking to obtain a quickie divorce in Reno, where she meets the grizzled cowboy Gay Langland (Gable), who later introduces her to his rodeo-riding pal Perce Howland (Clift)…
