The filming of 'The Misfits' (John Huston, 1960) is a full story in itself (there are a couple of fine books about the shooting), as interesting and complex as the script for it written by Arthur Miller to serve as a vehicle for his then wife, Marilyn Monroe, in order to demonstrate in a dramatic role her acting skills that seemed so frustrated by comedy. He also intended to save his marriage, already in decline, and incidentally helping the actress to improve its fragile state of mind that had her addicted to pills. But the film, in which she appeared in almost every frame, caused her exhaustion to the limit of a nervous breakdown. It amounted to a chaotic shooting in the Nevada desert, a team and a town as public to the vicissitudes of so much going on which included director John Huston addicted to gambling continually visiting the nearby town of Reno (the 'Las Vegas' of Nevada ), a self- destructive Montgomery Clift wounded by life or a professional Clark Gable who did not suspect his inminent passing in spite of his by then damaged health. In fact for Gable and Monroe it would be the last shooting as they would die soon after, which has surrounded the film of some myth. The distance between Marilyn and Miller became impassable during that stay in the desert, she also always accompanied by that shadowy figure who was her acting coach, the petite but sinister Paula Strasberg of the Actor's Studio. He would find solace in the photographer Inge Morath. Inge was a visitor along the various members of the prestigious Magnum Agency commissioned to capture moments of the shooting as a promotion for that conjunction of stars and intellectuals at the service of a film that did not find favor with the public at its premiere, in part by the intricacies of an apparently simple plot in which a divorced woman joins a few cowboys on a trip to that desolate landscape to forget the failure of his marriage. As the credits suggest, in fact the story is an intrincate puzzle made of lost pieces that shows the vital wreck of a bunch of losers in front of the eyes of a extremely sensitive girl. It seems a tribute more or less obvious to outsiders, busy being themselves despite a stubborn fate to a changing reality, as reflected by the poetry of the capturing and taming of wild horses in that lunar landscape. A portrait of assembled pieces of a lost world, a subject portrayed in other films directed by Huston like the character played by his father, Walter Huston, in the magnificent 'The Treasure of Sierra Madre' or those lonely "lost souls" in 'Fat City'.

"Marilyn era una poeta callejera intentando recitar sus versos a una multitud que le arrancaba la ropa", Norman Mailer. "Marilyn was a poet on a street corner trying to recite to a crowd tearing her clothes".

Bert Stern
An early photographer for Marilyn Monroe and a personal friend of the actress he was responsible as well for her last and controversial session (a work projected for Vogue magazine that showed her half naked and in wich he tried with no success to make up with her on their drunkness on champagne and vodka). Bert Stern is the author of other classic icons of photography as those famous portraits of Sue Lyon for promotion and posters of the Kubrick film 'Lolita'.

I was browsing through the archives in the online auction 'Profiles in History' and I found original photographs and other items from film industry like the real statue that was the pivot to the plot in 'The Maltese Falcon', a gun and clothing from 'Blade Runner', the 'Batman' suit, the baby stroller in that famous staircase scene in 'The Untouchables' -a sequence that was a tribute to the Soviet film 'Battleship Potemkin'- or that famous striptease costume from 'Gilda'...
