N.p. N.p., Circa 1961. Vintage double weight reference photograph from the 1961 film, showing director John Huston and screenwriter Arthur Miller during filming on location, with a clapperboard in the foreground. Stamp of photographer Inge Morath on the verso.

A bleak, haunting film exploring the loss of independence, about a recent divorcée who enters into an unstable relationship with an aging cowboy whom she meets in the Nevada desert.

Photographer Inge Morath, who had worked with Huston on several of his earlier films, first met Miller on the set of "The Misfits." Miller's relationship with his then-wife, Marilyn Monroe, rapidly deteriorated during the film's production, largely due to Monroe's growing dependence on prescription medication, and the couple would separate after filming concluded. Miller and Morath began dating and married in February of 1962, just over a year after Miller's divorce from Monroe.

Shot on location in Reno and Dayton, Nevada.

10 x 8 inches. About Fine, lightly worn at the corners.
