The smell of death

The film was shot in 1960. Many of its stills appear in the photo archives of Magnum photographers.


Marilyn Monroe died in 1962

Clark Gable died in 1960

Montgomery Clift died in 1966


This is the last film before the three lives .

"It's full of the smell of death"


Gable is very old and very old, so old that the audience can't bear to watch him talk about love.

Montgomery collapsed after the car accident.

Monroe was stuck in the last unsuccessful marriage in her life.


The film is positioned as a western film, it is very unique, there is bright sun and dazzling sadness in the black and white film.
When the experiences of the three of them were projected into Arthur Miller's script, this movie far exceeded my expectations in the ratings.

    The Chinese translation of the name was too misleading, and a sad Western literary film was crowned with the name of a romantic comedy. The whole film is dull and depressing, Monroe's character is like herself, mentally free, innocent or crazy. My Gable is old, but he still looks cynically at the world, hides the sadness and fear in his heart, and goes to prove his existence like a farewell. Gable, Monroe, and Clift are the common posthumous works of the three "beauties".

    This Houston script reminds me of Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises", especially the last part of Gable's horse training, which is very tough. Monroe's role is like Brett, full of maternal love. Gable, Montgomery and the "little guys" are Jack Barnes, Robert Cohen, and Michael: living in confusion and loss, saying something inconspicuous, drinking and smoking, living without a goal, fortunately one of them will end. Embrace the beauty.

The Misfits quotes

  • Roslyn: You have to get something to be human? You never felt anything for anybody in your life. All you know is the sad words. You could blow up the world and all you would feel is sorry for yourself!

  • Guido: She's crazy. They're all crazy. You try not to believe it because you need them. She's crazy. You struggle, you build, you try, you turn yourself inside out for 'em, but its never enough. So they put the spurs to you - I know, I got the marks. I know this racket, I just forgot what I knew for a while.
