The Misfits

Ben Mankiewicz introduces The Misfits, 1961.

TCM's Saturday afternoon host Tiffany Vazquez introduces The Misfits, 1961.

Aging cowhand Gay (Clark Gable) and his maybe-nasty mechanic friend Guido (Eli Wallach) have just picked up Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe), immediately after her Reno divorce, and friend Izzy (Thelma Ritter), tensions and booze kicking in, John Huston directing, early in The Misfits, 1961.

Screenwriter Arthur Miller wrote this scene for his wife Marilyn Monroe (as Roslyn) in which she causes a big ruckus by playing paddle-ball in a cowboy bar in The Misfits, 1961.

Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe) is disconsolate after learning what happens to the horses Gay (Clark Gable) rounds up and sells, in The Misfits, 1961, probably as long a single take as any in Gable's career, directed by John Huston from a an original screenplay by Monroe's then-husband Arthur Miller.
