100. Geburtstag Marilyn Monroe: "Misfits – nicht gesellschaftsfähig"

One of the biggest movie stars ever was born on June 1, 1926: Marilyn Monroe presented her sensational sexual charisma with the innocence of a child and thus became the dream woman of the 1950s - and far beyond. However, she never wanted to be seen as a mere sex symbol, but as an actress. With five films, we show the range of her performing art.
We are showing her last film - and Clark Gable's last:

MISFITS - NOT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE

USA 1961. D: John Huston. D: Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, Thelma Ritter. 125 min. EnglOmdtU. FSK: 12

Former nightclub dancer Roslyn is the object of the affections of three men, the ageing cowboy Gaylord, the car mechanic Guido and the rodeo rider Perce. The three men plus Roslyn set out to capture wild horses - but then Roslyn learns that the captured animals are to be turned into dog food. The originally romantic excursion turns into a confrontation between different characters.
Proud men who pursue shoddy work, a woman who can never live up to her dreams: Playwright Arthur Miller, husband of Marilyn Monroe, wrote the screenplay for this modern western about loners who stand outside society and briefly form a community. It is Monroe's last film: she plays against her role cliché - and wins.
