The Misfits
1961 · New York
by MILLER, ARTHUR
New York: Dell, 1961. Later printing. Paperbound. Illustrated with 8 pages of black & white photographs from the film directed by John Huston, starring Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable. Very good slightly used copy with some minor edge wear and a bit of creasing. The film was the final production for Gable and Monroe who were joined by a superb supporting cast including Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, Thelma Ritter, and Kevin McCarthy. This complex and dramatic story centers on the relationship between a fragile divorcee (Monroe) and a brooding cowboy past his prime (Gable). The front cover is illustrated with photographic portraits from the film of Gable, Monroe, and Clift arrayed as puzzle pieces. (Inventory #: 17287E)
