Film Buff Friday: The Misfits



With the recent anniversary of the passing of Marilyn Monroe I thought we should take a look back at my favorite film she was in The Misfits courtesy of my buddy Jay Jacobson and his classic movie blog.

The Misfits is a truly haunting classic that boasts mesmerizing performances from Monroe, Montgomery Clift & Clark Gable. Not to mention great direction from John Huston and a screenplay by Arthur Miller. 

One of my all time favorite movie scenes ever is in The Misfits. It's the scene where Monroe as Roslyn dances silently amongst the trees. Trust me the scene packs an intense emotional punch.

As per usual while reading Jay's coverage I learned some new behind the scenes facts about the history of this masterpiece.

What's that you ask? What new things did I learn? Hit the link below and find out! It's one of the best write-ups of a classic Hollywood film I have ever read! T.G.I.F!
