Fifteen-time Academy Award nominee Alex North came up with a jazz-tinged score to John Huston's star-studded 1961 bizarro Western <I>The Misfits</I> (written by Arthur Miller and featuring his wife Marilyn Monroe in her final role). North's soundtrack sashays between pastoral orchestration and sprightly dance numbers that could find a place in a juke joint or jazz club alike. The slower tunes operate around lurching horn parts and sweeping string arrangements that evoke the lonely plains, while the up-tempo material spotlights boisterous saxophones, giddy banjo runs, and taut piano vamps. It's a suitably eclectic musical romp from a film about three Nevada cowboys (including Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift) who wrangle wild horses to sell to butchers. <I>--Richard Martin</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The Misfits.......2002-10-25

Moody music that grabs your attention. What fitting music for "the last western", and the last movies Gable and Monroe would complete. The main theme is very haunting, and immediately hooks the listener in. A soundtrack as mysterious as the movie...very thrilling!

5 out of 5 stars An amazing and completely beautiful soundtrack!.......2000-06-06

If you love the 1961 film "The Misfits", this soundtrack is for you. I bought the original 1961 lp at a record store years ago and was dissappoined since it only included about half of the music featured in the film. This CD inlcudes every bit of music from the movie and it is a truly moving score to add to your library. The titles include jazzy songs as well as dramatic sequences, all portraying different scenes from the movie and all tied together by the central theme of the film. If you loved the film, you will go "wow" over this disc. Also, the packaging is extremely beautiful and includes some interesting photos, stills, and original design reproductions.
