		The Misfits were a punk rock group formed in 1977-- at the height of the punk rock movement--in the town of Lodi, New Jersey, and led by singer Glenn Danzig.
		The Misfits' songs were often quite melodic: their catchy choruses weren't too far removed from doo-wop or 1950's and 1960's bubblegum pop.
		The new incarnation of the Misfits released three full-length albums until Michale Graves and Dr. Chud left the band on October 25, 2000 at a performance at the House of Blues in Orlando.

	The Misfits - Rockin'Town Bio
		But more to the point, The Misfits were off the track from the start and made little effort made to right things, except for constant personnel changes.
		There were singles and another EP before The Misfits finally made their full length album debut in '81, "Walk Among Us." That same year Danzig released a solo single "Who Killed Marilyn." By this time band members were coming and going with increased, nearly alarming, frequency.
		The Misfits can be viewed as a Speed Metal take on Alice Cooper with ghoulish images, horror movie themes and tales of aliens (not the ones from Mexico), delivered with a sick sense of humor.

	Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Film derives its ability to evoke response from images in motion; some experts have suggested that this power comes from film's resemblance to the moving images we see in real life, where little stands still.
		Interpreting a film may require or be enhanced by an examination of the social, historical, political, or economic context from which it sprung.
		Film "exists in a social context, in relation to the social system it springs from and portrays or idealizes or criticizes." This context gives the filmmaker whose movies are widely viewed enormous social influence and enormous social responsibility.

		It certainly wasn't the Misfits' musicianship -- which was as crude as the recording quality of most of their oeuvre -- that endeared them to so many, although Glenn Danzig possessed one of the most distinctive and tuneful bellows in hardcore punk.
		In 1982, the Misfits finally released their official debut album under the planned title, which proved one of the finest additions to their discography.
		Misfits compilations began appearing as soon as 1985 on Caroline (Legacy of Brutality); 1987's Misfits compilation began whetting appetites for the large quantity of material that remained out of print, although Metallica's version of "Last Caress" and, later, Guns N' Roses' cover of "Attitude" hinted at what might be discovered.

		It was sometimes hard to tell which way The Misfits wanted to be taken, and the immense cult following that has grown up in the years after their actual existence (1977-1983) seems divided in its own assessment.
		The Misfits were formed in Lodi, New Jersey in 1977 by vocalist Glenn Danzig and bassist Jerry Caiafa, who performed under the name Jerry Only.

		Over the course of 1979, The Misfits further evolved the horror elements of their music and their imagery, effectively creating a new genre of music that would come to be known as Horror punk.
		The Misfits' far reaching influence is also evident in the vast number of fans from all different facets of the music world who follow the band.

		"The Misfits," filmed almost exclusively in the Reno area from July to November 1960, was the only movie Monroe and Gable appeared in together, and was the last completed film for both.
		Filming not only was delayed by Monroe's lateness on the set, but by a drug overdose that prompted her to seek treatment in Los Angeles.
		The blurring between art and life is remarkable in "The Misfits" because Monroe, Gable and Clift played characters so much like themselves, she said.

		I just saw The Misfits at the local revival theater, walking distance from the FSM office -- by sheer chance it was playing, and I had been listening to Rykodisc's new CD all day.
		The Misfits is not the greatest movie ever made, and although it has memorable turns of phrase it's not end-to-end poetry.
		The Misfits is my favorite of his works because it has the jazzy, sweetly melodic style he did so well, plus the dissonant, modernist side -- the virtual "ballet" he wrote for the mustang round-up.

	Magnum Photos and the Making of "The Misfits"
		Major Hollywood films normally included one still photographer assigned to the production to capture stills of the cast and the action being filmed to be used for publicity.
		The Misfits, shot on location in the expansive Nevada desert, was photographed by nine photographers from the agency Magnum Photos working in shifts of two weeks, which sometimes overlapped with the previous photographer.
		In addition to a difficult shooting location, the film involved an unruly director, an aging leading man and an unstable leading lady, whose marriage to Arthur Miller was crumbling and who survived an overdose during filming.

		Durring the recording of those two albums there were quite a few songs the the band had written but were left off the albums.

		Cuts from the Crypt is a must have for psychobilly fans and an exploratory journey for those who have never heard punk energy with rockabilly's kitschiness, this album is by far the most important from this genre since The Cramps' Bad Music for Bad People.

	"The Misfits" Film Review: Cinephilia - Australian Film & more
		By all accounts a gruelling shoot, Gable died of a heart attack a matter of days after completion and Monroe, for whom this was also her final film, was on the spiral leading to her death the following year.
		During filming she was also openly having an affair with Yves Montand whilst haplessly infatuated hubby Arthur Miller, who scripted this from his own play, looked on.
		Notwithstanding, Gable and Monroe make an interesting dynamic and the final section with the roping of the horses is a memorable metaphor for the social constraint of individual liberty and the end of a way of life.

	The Misfits
		One thing I came away from the film with was a new appreciation for Marilyn's ability to use her body to advantage and get things by the censors.
		I found the dialogue rather over-wrought for the screen, and more suited to the stage, but the film held my interest, largely due to the performances by four screen greats.
		Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

	Artsandentertainment: A fitting look at 'The Misfits'
		The Misfits, filmed from July to November 1960, was the only movie Monroe and Gable appeared in together and was the last completed film for both.
		Filming not only was delayed by Monroe's tardiness, but by a drug overdose that prompted her to seek treatment in Los Angeles.
		Miller, who based the movie on the loners he observed in Reno when he divorced in 1956 to marry Monroe, said it was difficult to watch her go through "such torture" during the filming.

	washingtonpost.com: Monroe, Miller Magnificent Misfits
		His film "The Misfits," made in 1960, was a last-ditch effort to save his marriage and Monroe's life.
		John Huston, heartily satisfied and bubbling with congratulations overrode her wish to shoot the scene a third time, thereby unwittingly suggesting to her that he might be intending to settle for "good enough," and setting off an alarm bell in her mind.
		Houston took the bull by the horns, the unfinished film being now at the point of abandonment, and arranged to have Marilyn flown to a private hospital in Los Angeles where she could go off barbituates under the care of her analyst.

		At the films release, during Marilyns now famous scene in the desert, where she lashes out at the brutality of "the men" as they capture a horse for slaughter, apparently many in the theatres laughed out loud at this unacceptable version of their Marilyn, which is very sad.
		This, her last performance is her best and the true example of the collaborative creation that film really is. That Marilyn under the circumstances of her life at that time could be so good is a testament to her talent as an actress and a star.
		Gable died right after filming, Monroe was dead a year later, and Clift never recovered from a 1956 auto accident that had him addicted to painkillers for the rest of his life.

	The Misfits (1961) - Channel 4 Film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A film about the passing of the old West that, with added poignancy, became the last film for stars Monroe and Gable.
		It was the final film that both Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable starred in, the latter succumbing to a heart attack aged just 59 only eight days after the shoot ended.
		The film's already poignant subject - the passing of a way of life - was therefore given a remarkable extra edge of sadness and tragedy.

	Screen: John Huston's 'The Misfits'
		There is this to be said for the people that Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, et al, play in John Huston's new film, "The Misfits," which came to the Capitol yesterday: they are not what you might call status seekers or organization men.
		Gable in this film is a leathery old cowboy with a realistic slant on most things, but even he has to go a little nutty and sentimental at the end.
		Unfortunately for the film's structure, everything turns upon her-the congregation of the fellows, like a pack of dogs, the buildup of cross-purposed courtships and the sentimental backflip at the end.

		In addition to the standard interviews with Robert Mitchum and Robert Wagner, I was shown scenes from the film THE MISFITS with Montgomery Clift and Clark Gable.
		Although I remembered that Clark Gable had a heart attack after filming this movie, written for his wife by Arthur Miller, I had no knowledge that Clark Gable's stress in filming this movie was the cause of his fatal heart attack.
		It is somewhat sad that the many new tributes filmed today by the Turner Group are enhanced with restoration of period film and the film direction gives some additional zest that only a historic perspective will allow.
