Mix together equal parts Gable, Monroe, Wallach, and Clift, garnish with Miller and stir with John Huston and you've got one of the most bizarre cinematic cocktails. One has to wonder whether Huston gathered the three "doomed" stars for their talent or for all the emotional baggage they carried. For whatever reason, it worked. Gable in particular is amazing as the worn-out leader and hunter of the misfits.
