5.0 out of 5 stars
Riveting account of the making of a unique film..., April 20, 2008
This review is from: The Making of the Misfits (Paperback)
As noted in Murray Shumach's 'New York Times' review of this book; author Goode could have taken many paths in the writing of the book 'The Making of the Misfits'.
The direction journalist James Goode did select for his book was to provide a diary-like account of the turbulent filming of John Huston's film, 'The Misfits', a unique American Film written by Arthur Miller, whose marriage to Monroe was coming to an end during the making of the movie. Goode included in-depth interviews of a very wide-range of individuals involved in the production. Goode's book reveals all the behind the scenes details about the troubled motion picture that would be the final film for each of the major stars; Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable; Gable passing away eleven days after the end of filming and Monroe surviving the film only a mere 1-1/2 years.
Included in the book are several photographs, including many of Monroe and Gable and one beautiful, sensitive photo of Montgomery Cliff (who himself completed only three films following 'The Misfits', surviving only four years following the film).
The ultimate insider-book about this classic cult film has become a rare find on today's market.
