The Misfits

Playwright Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman) penned the screenplay for this 1961 Western that stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift and was directed by the venerable John Huston. In it, a divorced woman (Monroe) becomes involved with three cowboys who round up wild mustangs in the Nevada desert. The film shows as part of the Cleveland Museum of Art's Marilyn X 4 series that serves as a tribute to the sexy star and connects to the exhibit Proof: Photography in the Era of the Contact Sheet. The film screens at 1:30 p.m. today and at 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Tickets cost $10, or $7 for CMA members. (Niesel)
