Comment/Synopsis

Just after getting a divorcee a woman (Marilyn Monroe) who is trying to find her place in life meets up with three men with different views on life and their place in life. This is a mix of slow and wordy and some action scenes with the a rodeo and catching the wild horses. It is well directed by John Huston and was the last film appearance from both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. It was a difficult film to make due to the problems with Marilyn Monroe and her issues but Gable and Monroe worked well on the screen.
