And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The Misfits. Made in 1960, released 1961. Last picture for both Gable and Monroe. She was 34 when this was taken, and dead within two years.
Frequently late to the set, breaking up with writer Arthur Miller at the time, production stopped when she was hospitalized for alcoholism and depression, and the film's director, John Huston, said he knew at the time she was in a death-spiral, and "doomed".
Can't help but wonder what it might have been if she'd pulled herself together, and lived into her 70s.
Depressing movie
ReplyDeleteYes---Mrs. DiMaggio--though I think they'd split when this was made. Their's is a truly sad story. Mr. Gable's life was sad also.
