Sinopsis

John HustonâÇÖs âÇÖeastern WesternâÇÖ signaled the end of the careers of three major Hollywood figures. It was Marilyn MonroeâÇÖs last completed film. Clark Gable died a fortnight after shooting ended. Montgomery Clift rumbled on for a few years but without doing much of note. áIt also signaled the end of MonroeâÇÖs marriage to Arthur Miller. Miller wrote the screenplay as a âÇÖgiftâÇÖ to his troubled wife but their marriage was already on the rocks by the time the cameras started rolling. Matters deteriorated further on the set, culminating in Monroe suffering a nervous breakdown in mid-shoot which led to the set being closed down while she recuperated.ááááááAubrey MaloneâÇÖs book chronicles the background to this iconic film which changed the way people saw the old West. It also chronicles the on-set tensions, the squabbling and feuds and divided loyalties. Huston tried to hold everything together as he struggled with a gambling addiction that was too great a temptation to resist in the casinos of Reno. ááááááThe dramas that took place behind the scenes were arguably as engrossing as anything that appeared in the film itself. Sample both sets of scenarios in this detailed study of a valentine to a bygone era.
