Plots(1)
The scorching tale of a sexy divorcée who falls for an over-the-hill cowboy, The Misfits is a classic drama about love, life lessons and sacrifice. A bitter and disillusioned woman, divorcée Roslyn Tabor (Marilyn Monroe) mixes with a group of disparate characters, considered to be misfits. These include ageing cowboy Gay Langland (Clark Gable), heartbroken mechanic Guido (Eli Wallach) and worn-out rodeo rider Perce Howland (Montgomery Clift). As Roslyn is drawn to their carefree attitudes she relishes her first true taste of freedom from domestic repression. Enjoying their sage company and learning to live for the moment, Roslyn's newfound idealism soon threatens to undercut friendship as she faces the possibility of losing the only true love she's ever known.
