The Misfits - Story of a Shoot

This book starts out with a frank interview with Arthur Miller about the shooting of The Misfits. It is interesting to read what it was like for him and what he thought of Huston, Marilyn and the picture itself.

But the meat of this book is the black and white photos that were taken by Magnum photographers who had exclusive permission to be on the set. I think this book is wonderful and since I enjoy rare Marilyn photos it was a MUST HAVE for my collection (even though it was a lot of money when I bought it new). However, the majority of photos in this book are unpublished previously. I had never seen them before. Of course, Marilyn is not featured in all of the photos but I would say the majority do. I just did a quick count and there are approx. 78 photos that have Marilyn in them.

This is such a fascinating period in Marilyn's life and this book gives us a peek into what it was really like on the set.
