A cursed film
The Misfits had a star-studded cast including big names Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, and Montgomery Clift. The film was a commercial failure when it was released, but now has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Either way, it was surrounded by quite grim events.
Monroe overdosed on the set of the movie, Gable died of a heart attack a few days after filming, and Clift went on to despise the film. Five years after the movie aired, a friend told Clift that The Misfits was to air on television that night. The actor refused to watch it and trashed the film, which would be his final words as he then died of a heart attack that night.
