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. For Gable, the film was a posthumous release, while Monroe mysteriously died the following year. The plot centers on a recently divorced woman and her time spent with a cowboy and his friend 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.
