Review of The Misfits (1961) by Adam P — 20 Mar 2009
Rather scattered and abstract. It felt like Arthur Miller was trying too hard to capture some kind of profundity. Any profundity the movie actually possesses is because Gable, Monroe, and Clift were all dead within a year. But since the filmmakers, barring any horrific conspiracy, could not have known this, the movie must be judged on it's literal content, not it's historical subtext.
The scene with the horses is the only effective moment in the film.
