U.S., 1961
Directed by John Huston
Starring Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Eli Wallach, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter
Approx. 124 min.
Recent Reno divorcée Marilyn Monroe is befriended by Thelma Ritter and taken in by last of the cowboys Clark Gable and ex-flyboy Eli Wallach, as punchy rodeo rider Monty comes along for the ride—but then a hunt for wild horses looms. Arthur Miller’s first film script was tailored for wife Marilyn, in what turned out to be her (as well as Gable’s) final movie.

Reviews
“The individual performances are so good that with a thrill of recognition one sees what acting in the cinema can achieve.”
– The Guardian
“In a part literally made for her, Miss Monroe displays a gentleness and a tired, childlike grace that are appropriate and moving and, very evidently, a reflection of herself.”
– The New Yorker
