Expertly directed by John Huston (The Maltese Falcon) from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Miller (Death of A Salesman), The Misfits is a "probing, exciting drama" (Film Daily) of honesty, intensity and sheer poetic brilliance.

Divorced and disillusioned, Roslyn Tabor (Marilyn Monroe) befriends a group of "misfits," including an aging cowboy (Clark Gable), a heartbroken mechanic (Eli Wallach) and a worn-out rodeo rider (Montgomery Clift). Through their live-for-the-moment lifestyle, Roslyn experiences her first taste of freedom, exhilaration and passion. But when her innocent idealism clashes with their hard-edged practicality, Roslyn must risk losing their friendship...and the only true love she's ever known.

Alex North's score is a masterpiece. From the searingly brilliant main title, to the heartbreakingly beautiful and compassionate music for the ill-fated romance, to the climactic western ballet North composed for a sprawling and adventurous round-up sequence, it is a landmark work.

Now available on CD, The Misfits and Some Like It Hot join our previous release Marilyn Monroe: Songs and Music from the Diamond Collection (VCD 6306) in tribute to Hollywood's most legendary screen beauty.
