The final film of stars Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe is an elegy for the death of the Old West from writer Arthur Miller and director John Huston. Gable stars as Gay Langland, an aging hand traveling the byways and working at rodeos with his two comrades, Guido (Eli Wallach) and young Perce Howland (Montgomery Clift). The three men come up with a plan to corral some misfit mustangs and sell them for dog food, but Gay's new girlfriend Roslyn Taber (Marilyn Monroe), a high-minded ex-stripper who has just divorced her husband Ray (Kevin McCarthy) in Reno, is appalled by the plan. Although both Guido and Perce are also in love with Roslyn, she stands by Gay, sure that in the end he will do the right thing, even as he and his pals begin their planned roundup. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

A striking and underrated film that brought together a number of great talents who were soon to meet tragic ends, The Misfits is a film that arguably deserves a first-class presentation on DVD, and while the current digital edition from MGM Home Entertainment isn't the feature-packed version one might hope for, it's still superior to the film's previous VHS releases. The Misfits has been given a letterboxed transfer in its original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, and the Dolby Digital audio presents the soundtrack in its original monophonic mix (the disc also includes two alternate audio tracks with the film dubbed into Spanish and French). The feature is closed-captioned in English, with optional subtitles in Spanish and French. The only additional feature is the film's original theatrical trailer, but the crisp video transfer will give fans of the film's stellar cast enough of a reason to give this disc a look. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
