Featured review
Making a movie; told by people who were there, including Arthur Miller, Eli Wallach...
In "Great Performances" 'Making the Misfits (2002) we get to look behind the scenes of this great John Huston movie from 1961.The movie is an underrated gem that stars Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in their last film.This documentary shows all the trouble they had on the set.Writer Arthur Miller and Monroe were heading towards their divorce, and Miller wrote the film for his wife.It's quite amazing to listen to Miller (1915-2005) sharing his memories.You also get to hear Eli Wallach, who acted in the movie.Today this terrific actor turns 95 years.And he still isn't showing any signs of slowing down.Kevin McCarthy, who we sadly lost at 96 on September, shares his memories.Brian Dennehy is the narrator.There is also some great photography of Marilyn by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Elliott Erwitt.Both the movie and this documentary is worth seeing.
