Marilyn Monroe - " The Misfits " Behind the scenes RARE

1960 - The outdoor scenes of the "The Misfits", in the Nevada desert, could only start mid-July. There were more than 30° C.

The movie was more reputed for the tension which reigned on the set than for the final result, a real drama performance. The atmosphere was full of Marilyn's hostility towards Miller, the arguments between John Huston and Paula Strasberg and many other anger demontrations. Marilyn and Miller argued in public and in private during the first half of the shooting, until Marilyn left the suite they shared to settled at Paula Strasberg's place.

Miller constantly re wrote the dialogues and stayed up late at night. The next day, he reviewed the text with Huston at the hotel and on the set. Marilyn found it difficult to remember the lines, and the constant changes made her things more difficult.

Marilyn's lack of punctuality, her illnesses, her incoherent condition after massive barbiturates administration to sleep, her arguments with Miller made the shooting long and difficult. As time goes by, she arrived more and more lmate and when she finally arrived, she didn't listen Huston and Miller, but only Paula Strasberg.

At the end of August, Huston sent Marilyn to Los Angeles for 10 days, either to undergo detoxification, or to treat a nervous breakdown, according to the versions.

Ernst Haas, one of the photographers of the Magnum Agency, made the following comment : "All those who were on the set were misfits - Marilyn, Monty, John Huston, always on the berge of panic. And Gable didn't say much, he was just Gable".

Uncertainty continued in Los Angeles at the moment of the pa system in the Paramount studio. The heads of United Artists demanded that several scenes they didn't like would be taken again : an appointment was taken to gather the actors and the technical crew, but Clark Gable- whose contract stipulated he had a say in the screenplay - refused to participate.

The movie production must of been like working in a pressure cooker
