CAMELOT FANTASIES

Oh I forgot to mention, I watched The Misfits (1961) this last Sunday. What a terrific little gem that was. I was shocked that I missed it all this time given that I've seem most of MM's movies. What made it better was the fact that, a worthy actor like Clark Gable was in it. What was unfortunate was the fact that he had to die before the release of the movie in 1960 of a sudden heart attack and wasn't able to see it. Some say it's because MM since she would keep everyone wait forever in the movie set. Others say it's because Clark wasn't really healthy enough to do those scenes later in the movie. Equally unfortunate was the fact that, this was perhaps too MM's last movie since she died in 1964 - 3 years after the movie was released.

I really think this was Marylin's best movie by miles. What a fantastic role she had to play and she played it so well surpassing all my expectations of her. I won't spoil much by telling the story but it was really breathtaking with some fine acting and great dialogues. And the story was great too with MM playing the role of pure consciousness of three misguided people. A must see folks!
