Hallwalls executive director Ed Cardoni introduces this screening of The Misfits on Thursday, August 22, at 7:30 p.m., presented in conjunction with the exhibition Marilyn: The Douglas Kirkland Photoshoot.

The Misfits is a 1961 American drama film directed by John Huston from the screenplay by Arthur Miller. The picture stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift, with a supporting cast that includes Thelma Ritter and Eli Wallach. The Misfits was the final film appearance for both Gable and Monroe, and the third-to-last for Clift. The plot centers on a recently divorced woman (Monroe) and her time spent with a cowboy (Gable) and his friend (Clift) in the Western Nevada desert in the 1960s. The movie was not a commercial success at the time of its release but received positive critical comments for its script and performances. (Wikipedia)
