The Misfits

Today Malice finally got round to watching 'The Misfits' - the last film of Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable. I had held off renting it, because I was concerned that it was such a fabled film and I would be sorely disappointed. Also, I'm not a big fan of any member of the cast.

I was pleasantly surprised by it. An unusual film and not at all what I was expecting after all. Marilyn gave a surprisingly astute and deep performance. I've never seen someone so innately sad and lost... If it was all acting, then she was an underrated talent; but I suspect there was a lot of herself in that role.
