The Misfits (1961) Repost

Cast Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach…

The final film of stars Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe is an elegy for the death of the Old West from writer Arthur Miller and director John Huston. Gable stars as Gay Langland, an aging hand traveling the byways and working at rodeos with his two comrades, Guido (Eli Wallach) and young Perce Howland (Montgomery Clift). The three men come up with a plan to corral some misfit mustangs and sell them for dog food, but Gay's new girlfriend Roslyn Taber (Marilyn Monroe), a high-minded ex-stripper who has just divorced her husband Ray (Kevin McCarthy) in Reno, is appalled by the plan. Although both Guido and Perce are also in love with Roslyn, she stands by Gay, sure that in the end he will do the right thing, even as he and his pals begin their planned roundup.

Divorcée et désenchantée, Roslyn Tabor se lie d'amitié avec un groupe de 'désaxés' composé d'un cow-boy vieillissant, d'un mécanicien au coeur brisé et d'un cavalier de rodéo usé par le temps. A travers leur mode de vie Roslyn éprouve ses premières sensations de liberté, d'euphorie et de passion. Mais lorsque son idéalisme innocent se heurte à une réalité plus brutale, Roslyn doit prendre le risque de perdre leur amitié… et le seul vrai amour qu'elle ait connu.
