To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Marilyn Monroe join us for a new digital restoration of The Misfits. The film was written for the screen by Monroe’s husband Arthur Miller, and sees her play a naive divorcee who meets three new suitors in her most serious and poignant role.

While filing for a divorce, beautiful ex-stripper Roslyn Taber (Marilyn Monroe) ends up meeting aging cowboy-turned-gambler Gay Langland (Clark Gable) and former World War II aviator Guido Racanelli (Eli Wallach). The two men instantly become infatuated with Roslyn and, on a whim, the three decide to move into Guido's half-finished desert home together. When grizzled ex-rodeo rider Perce Howland (Montgomery Clift) arrives, the unlikely foursome strike up a business capturing wild horses.

Our screening on Thursday 11 June was introduced by Garden Cinema Team Member, actor, and proud Marilynette, Anna Lily Dean.
