The Curse
of the Misfit Film
The Misfits, is a movie considered to carry a dark
curse on anyone who was associated with it. While it failed at the box office
at the time, Rotten Tomatoes has since given the movie a 100 percent rating.
The film starred plenty of big names such as Clark Gable,
Marilyn Monroe. and Montgomery Clift. But soon after the movie began
production, the lives of people involved were thrown into discord.
Monroe overdosed on the set after her relationship with Arthur
Miller ended. A year after the movie wrapped up she died of an apparent
overdose.
Gable died of a
heart attack only a few days after filming. On November 6, 1960, Gable was
sent to the hospital where doctors found that he had suffered a heart
attack. The following day his condition was listed as satisfactory. By the
morning of November 16, he seemed to be improving, but he died that evening at
the age of 59 from an arterial blood clot.
Clift
was involved in an accident that destroyed his career. It all came crashing down when Clift was
involved in a car accident after falling asleep behind the wheel. He lived the
remainder of his life in constant physical and mental pain and became addicted
to alcohol and painkillers.
Five years after the movie finished filming, Clift was
informed by a friend that the movie was airing on television, which he refused
to watch. It was that night that Clift was found dead due to a heart attack.
