Remembering Marilyn Monroe

Today is the 61st anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's passing. To commemorate it here is a still from my favorite Marilyn movie The Misfits written by her then husband Arthur Miller and directed to the great John Houston.

Marilyn's portrayal of Roslyn Taber was simply one of her best. The photo is from my favorite scene in the film where Roslyn dances with abandon among the trees. I'm really not sure how else to describe it, other than the scene itself is mesmerizing.

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.
