Pizazz, Rue, & Roxy (also Rue at some point) of the Discords long before Pizzazz, Roxy, & Stormer of the Misfits. Notice the letters that spell “Discords” on Roxy’s pants, and that even made it into the animation. #jem #jemandtheholograms #trulyoutrageous #pizazz #rue #roxy #discords #thediscords #pizzazz #pizzazzofthemisfits #roxyofthemisfits #stormer #stormerofthemisfits #sunbow #sunbowproductions #themisfits #misfits #totallyjem #riot4jem https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRbZiyJwyG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I wanted to make a project inspired by the Misfits and Halloween -- so I made some creepy beats and got Darko the Super, DFRNTFRM, Torito, Dwell, Dot-Com Intelligence and ALYX Ryon to rap on them.

The Misfits (1961) - Flawed but emblematic

In 2022, Olivia Wilde's "Don't Worry Darling" has been making more headlines about the immense behind the scene drama than its filmmaking achievements. It may be the most recent case of "backstage issues overshadowing the movie itself" but it certainly ain't the first, more less the most intriguing. In 1961, John Huston's "The Misfits" was released and became way more remembered for being full of production issues and the very last movie of mythic Hollywood stars Marilyn Monroe and Clark Cable than for its tale of four lost souls wandering in Nevada.

So what is this movie all about after all?

"The Misfits" is a drama/western about a recently divorced woman named Roslyn (Monroe) who meets war-veteran widow Guido (Eli Wallach) and aging cowboy Gay (Cable) and, having not a single idea of what to do with her own life, goes on a series of little adventures with them, picking up another lost cowboy (Perce, played by Montgomery Clift) on their way. With such a star-crowded cast and legendary director John Huston behind the camera, I had high expectations for this one but unfortunately I do not think it belongs to the "best works" list of any of those Hollywood icons.

It's not that this is a bad movie. It does have great cinematography and some very interesting scenes, dialogues and reflections. Each character has a sad, frustrating backstory and is somewhat trying to go on without knowing much what to do. In this sense, the movie is relatable and did not age at all. The dilemmas some of these people face are realistic and allow the viewer to connect with them even in current times.

However, it is too flawed to be regarded as a masterpiece. First, Monroe's character seems poorly written. Not only that, she is clearly written by a man. It's just so unauthentic how she makes some very valid points against some of the male characters actions (especially Gay's) just to run back to them a minute later, pretty much accepting whatever they give her. To me she's exactly how the average man of the 60s saw a women: she's caring, sensitive and sensual (but not vulgar), but also depicted as hysteric and resigned. What makes it even worse is that the scriptwriter was Monroe's own husband (!), although their marriage failed during the production. One thing seems to have affected the other, as Monroe was apparently disappointed too on how her character was written, while Miller seems to have incorporated some of his own disappointments about his then-wife in parts of the script.

Another thing I disliked about the movie was its uneven pacing. The first half has many scenes but feel too slow. I just kept asking myself "ok but how long I'll have to wait for something actually interesting to happen?".

I must say that the second half does deliver good performances, hard-to-watch scenes and actual drama between the characters. All that in a stunning landscape with beautiful shots from cinematographer Russell Metty. That second half does make up for the almost boring beginning of the movie. It does show melancholic performances from stars who were all in one way or another feeling as lost and in pain as their own characters.

I did find the ending lacklustre though, again because of how Roslyn actions just did not make sense to me! After that great climax scene with all the characters facing up to their personal values, trying to understand to what they stand for, to just end it like it was a story about a couple going through a marriage crisis seemed simply so...silly.

Ok so the movie has its moments and it's worth-watching for the sake of it, now what about the drama?

The fact that this movie was completed is already a great achievement given all the problems it went through in the production stage.

Starting with director John Huston, who apparently spent a good amount of his time during filming gambling in Nevada casinos, often showing up on set not in his best shape after his nights out.

Then, we had Marilyn Monroe. She was already notorious for forgetting lines, showing up late (or not showing up at all) and being addicted to pills and alcohol when "The Misfits" was shoot but this time seemed to be even worse. Her marriage with scriptwriter Arthur Miller fell apart in the middle of the filming and the pair stayed in separate rooms and wouldn't even talk to each other in the later stages of the production. Shooting was even shut down for two weeks while Marilyn went to the hospital to detox. Given all the problems Monroe was going through during the make of this movie, it should not be surprising that this was her last completed film.

Monroe was not the only star in this movie to be in pain. Montgomery Clift was dealing with severe alcohol and pills addiction too, his mental state never fully recovering from the shocking car accident he suffered in 1956. Marilyn even famously described him as the only person she knew who was in worse shape than herself. Although Clift lived for another 6 years after "The Misfits" , cowboy Perce was his last relevant role.

Lastly, we have Golden Age icon Clark Gable, who complained about Marilyn's dysfunctional behaviour on set and was also annoyed with director John Huston money-losing habits. Gable was approaching his 60s during filming , with a deteriorating health after decades of heavy drinking and smoking. The actor died of a heart attack just days after shooting wrapped, but lived enough to see rough cuts of the movie and be happy with what would be his last performance.

IT WAS A DOUBLE HEADLINER WITH DISCHARGE THAT NIGHT -- BUT WHO OPENED FIRST?

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Glenn Danzig of THE MISFITS (rocking a tastefully crafted Captain Harlock longsleeve) performing live at Florentine Gardens in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA, on 10/02/82. 📸: Alison Braun.

I swear, man, the Misfits have had crossover appeal with hard rock and heavy metal audiences since day one, and they were probably one of the few punk and/or hardcore bands of their day in which it was accepted in throwing up the devil's horns. Anyway, you probably wouldn't be seeing too much of that with many other punk bands in the early '80s.
