Summary
Three failed men take up with a lonely divorcee, hoping to gain new purpose from her spontaneity. Their callousness at a shabby local rodeo and a roundup of horses to be slaughtered for pet food repels her, leading to a confrontation between their spurious pretensions and her intuitive humanism. Arthur Miller's screenplay, written specifically for his wife, Marilyn Monroe, explores the demystification of the great American dreams of success and the West. This film marked the last screen roles of Monroe and Gable. (Circulates)
