Book Reviews of The Misfits

Book Review: I was an "extra" in the rodeo scenes
Summary: 5 Stars

When I was almost six years old, my family was visiting Virginia City, Nevada. My mother overheard about the filming of "The Misfits" rodeo scenes in Dayton, Nevada, so we drove down for the afternoon, and re-visited Dayton on subsequent shooting days.

During the filming, we were sitting in the rodeo arena bleachers, close to where 'Roslyn' (Marilyn Monroe) runs down after 'Perce' (Montgomery Clift) is thrown from the bull. My mother still does a creditable imitation of Roslyn's cry of "Oh, Perce! Perce!" for our amusement.

This book brought back many special memories of those experiences. I feel as if I'm a part of this book, since they had such an impact on those early years of my life.

All in all, this is one of the best gifts I've ever received. Any film buff would also appreciate this book, to own, share, or to give--it's a gem.
