The Misfits, 1961



I've been ill in bed all day so I decided to watch The Misfits. The sight of Clark Gable usually cheers me uo when I'm feeling under the weather. One of my favourite moments of this film is the exchange between Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe) and disillusioned cowboy Perce (Montgomery Clift):

Perce: So what I want to know... what I want to know is: who do you depend on?


Roslyn: I don't know. Maybe all there really is is just the next thing. The next thing that happens. Maybe you're not supposed to remember anybody's promises.
