Marilyn Monroe | "The Misfits" Contact Sheet (A)

An oversized contact sheet featuring 12 images from the set of The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). The sheet contains two images of Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. Clark Gable appears in 10 of the photographs, while Eli Wallach is in six.

The Misfits chronicled Roslyn (Monroe), a recent divorcee in Reno, Nevada, who befriends a group of "misfits" that includes an aging cowboy (Clark Gable) and a weary rodeo rider (Montgomery Clift). The John Huston-directed movie became notorious for its behind-the-scenes problems, culminating with shooting being shut down while Monroe was hospitalized and the end of her marriage to Miller. Gable would die a few weeks after shooting wrapped and this would prove to be Monroe's final completed film. Although The Misfits was considered a disappointment at the time of its release, its stature has grown over the years.
