Wikipedia

The Misfits is a 1961 American drama film with a screenplay by Arthur Miller which was directed by John Huston. It stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, and Eli Wallach. It was the final film appearance for both Gable and Monroe, and the third-to-last film appearance of Clift. The plot chronicles a recently-divorced woman (Monroe) and her time spent with an ex-cowboy (Gable) and his wayward friend (Clift) in the Western Nevada desert in the 1960s. The movie was not a commercial success at the time of its release but received positive critical comments for its script and performances.
