Contact sheets: direct prints of sequences of negatives were – in the pre-digital era – key for photographers to be able to see what they had captured on their rolls of film. They formed a central part of editing and indexing practices, and in themselves became revealing of photographers’ approaches: the subtle refinements of the frame, lighting and subject from photograph to photograph, tracing the image-maker’s progress toward the final composition that they ultimately saw as their best. There is a voyeuristic aspect to looking at a contact sheet also: one can retrace the photographer’s movements through time and space, tracking their eye’s smallest twitches from left to right as their attention is drawn. It is as if one were inside their head, offered a privileged view through their very eyes from the front row of their brain.
Planche Contact: l'impression directe de séquences de négatifs était - à l'ère pré-numérique - la clé pour que les photographes puissent voir ce qu'ils avaient capturé sur leurs pellicules. Ils formaient une partie centrale des pratiques d'édition et d'indexation, et devenaient en eux-mêmes révélateurs des approches des photographes: les raffinements subtils du cadre, de l'éclairage et du sujet de la photographie à la photographie, retraçant les progrès du créateur d'images vers la composition finale qu'ils ont finalement vue comme leur meilleur. Il y a aussi un aspect voyeuriste à regarder une planche contact: on peut retracer les mouvements du photographe à travers le temps et l’espace, en suivant les moindres contractions de son œil de gauche à droite au fur et à mesure que son attention est attirée. C'est comme si on était à l'intérieur de leur tête, offrait une vue privilégiée à travers leurs yeux mêmes du premier rang de leur cerveau.
As Kristen Lubben wrote in her introduction to the book, Magnum Contact Sheets, first published in 2011 by Thames and Hudson:
“Unique to each photographer’s approach, the contact is a record of how an image was constructed. Was it a set-up, or a serendipitous encounter? Did the photographer notice a scene with potential and diligently work it through to arrive at a successful image, or was the fabled ‘decisive moment’ at play? The contact sheet, now rendered obsolete by digital photography, embodies much of the appeal of photography itself: the sense of time unfolding, a durable trace of movement through space, an apparent authentication of photography’s claims to transparent representation of reality.”
Comme Kristen Lubben l'a écrit dans son introduction au livre, Magnum Contact Sheets, publié pour la première fois en 2011 par Thames et Hudson:
«Unique à l'approche de chaque photographe, le contact est un enregistrement de la façon dont une image a été construite. Était-ce une mise en place ou une rencontre fortuite? Le photographe a-t-il remarqué une scène avec du potentiel et l'a-t-il travaillé avec diligence pour arriver à une image réussie, ou le légendaire «moment décisif» était-il en jeu? La feuille de contact, maintenant rendue obsolète par la photographie numérique, incarne une grande partie de l'attrait de la photographie elle-même: le sens du temps qui se déroule, une trace durable de mouvement à travers l'espace, une authentification apparente des revendications de la photographie à une représentation transparente de la réalité."
Below, Michael Arnold – grandson of Eve Arnold, and a representative of the Eve Arnold Estate – writes about the making of the (above) famed image of a concerned Marilyn Monroe, seemingly isolated on the set of The Misfits. Offering personal insight and archival context on the star’s troubled time on set, he also shares previously unseen contact sheet images from the work Arnold made during the film’s production.
Ci-dessous, Michael Arnold - petit-fils d'Eve Arnold, et un représentant du domaine Eve Arnold - écrit sur la création de la célèbre image (ci-dessus) d'une Marilyn Monroe concernée, apparemment isolée sur le tournage de The Misfits. Offrant un aperçu personnel et un contexte d’archivage sur le temps troublé de la star sur le plateau, il partage également des images de planches de contact inédites du travail réalisé par Arnold pendant la production du film.
As a photographer, Eve Arnold was known for getting beneath the surface of her subjects, for capturing something of the real person hidden behind the persona.
In this well-known picture, actress Marilyn Monroe is memorizing her lines on the set of the film The Misfits. Monroe found it very difficult to memorize her lines and felt insecure about this. Because of the close bond Eve gained from working with Marilyn over several years she was able to capture the fragility and vulnerability behind her usually confident, and instantly recognizable exterior.
En tant que photographe, Eve Arnold était connue pour se cacher sous la surface de ses sujets, pour capturer quelque chose de la personne réelle cachée derrière le personnage.
Dans cette image bien connue, l'actrice Marilyn Monroe mémorise ses lignes sur le tournage du film Les Misfits. Monroe a eu beaucoup de mal à mémoriser ses lignes et se sentait mal à l'aise à ce sujet. En raison du lien étroit qu'Eve a noué en travaillant avec Marilyn pendant plusieurs années, elle a pu capturer la fragilité et la vulnérabilité derrière son extérieur habituellement confiant et immédiatement reconnaissable.
Eve describes this fragility in her book, In Retrospect:
“My most poignant memory of Marilyn is of how distressed, troubled and still radiant she looked when I arrived in Nevada to work on The Misfits. She asked immediately how she looked, and she wanted and needed reassurance. It was four years since we had worked together, and she looked into my eyes for a long moment to make sure she could still trust me. Then she drew her breath, sighed and said, “I’m thirty-four years old. I’ve been dancing for six months [on Let’s Make Love]. I’ve had no rest, I’m exhausted. Where do I go from here ?” She was not asking me – she was asking herself. This was less than a year before she died. It occurred to me then that when she had lived with the fantasy of Marilyn that she had created, that fantasy had sustained her, but now the reality had caught up with her and she found it too much to bear.”
Eve décrit cette fragilité dans son livre, In Retrospect:
«Mon souvenir le plus émouvant de Marilyn est de voir à quel point elle avait l'air affligée, troublée et toujours radieuse quand je suis arrivée au Nevada pour travailler sur The Misfits. Elle a immédiatement demandé à quoi elle ressemblait et elle voulait et avait besoin d'être rassurée. Cela faisait quatre ans que nous avions travaillé ensemble, et elle m'a regardé dans les yeux pendant un long moment pour s'assurer qu'elle pouvait encore me faire confiance. Puis elle retint son souffle, soupira et dit: «J'ai trente-quatre ans. J'ai dancé pendant six mois [sur Let’s Make Love]. Je n'ai pas eu de repos, je suis épuisée. Où dois-je aller d'ici ? » Elle ne me demandait pas à moi - elle se posait la question. C'était moins d'un an avant sa mort. Il m'est alors venu à l'esprit que lorsqu'elle avait vécu avec le fantasme de Marilyn qu'elle avait créé, ce fantasme l'avait soutenue, mais maintenant la réalité l'avait rattrapée et elle trouvait cela trop difficile à supporter."

Eve spoke further about the filming of The Misfits in a BBC documentary, Eve and Marilyn:
“…When Arthur [Miller] met Marilyn he then rewrote the story. It then became the basis for the film called The Misfits. It had Clarke Gable in the lead. It had Marilyn as the female lead. It had Montgomery Clift, Ely Wallach. It was meant to be exquisitely made. It was meant to be a small statement but very serious. And it was meant to bring Marilyn forward as a very serious actress. And this was Miller’s valentine to Marilyn. The marriage was already over but what he had wanted to do with it was to give her a gift.
She adored all of it. She loved the attention and she loved these very handsome men. What she didn’t like was the fact that they were all such polished actors. When they kept changing lines they would just reel them off and they would be word-perfect. And she would have difficulty because a) she didn’t have the training, and b) because she was troubled and it was difficult to remember the lines when she was going through a trying time.
She was ill at the time and she was disturbed. She had twice taken an overdose of sleeping tablets. I’m sure by accident because her big enemy was that she couldn’t sleep. And so, nights she would take two pills and then two more pills and then forgetting, she’d wake up and be muzzy, and in the morning she could hardly find her way around.”
Eve a parlé plus en détail du tournage de The Misfits dans un documentaire de la BBC, Eve et Marilyn:
«… Quand Arthur [Miller] a rencontré Marilyn, il a ensuite réécrit l'histoire. C'est ensuite devenu la base du film intitulé The Misfits. Il avait Clarke Gable en tête. Il avait Marilyn comme femme principale. Il y avait Montgomery Clift, Ely Wallach. Il était censé être fait de manière exquise. C'était censé être une petite déclaration mais très sérieuse. Et cela visait à faire de Marilyn une actrice très sérieuse. Et c'était la Saint-Valentin de Miller à Marilyn. Le mariage était déjà terminé mais ce qu'il avait voulu en faire, c'était lui faire un cadeau.
Elle adorait tout cela. Elle a adoré l'attention et elle a adoré ces très beaux hommes. Ce qu’elle n’a pas aimé, c’était le fait qu’ils étaient tous des acteurs aussi raffinés. Quand ils continuaient à changer de lignes, ils les enroulaient simplement et ils étaient parfaits. Et elle aurait des difficultés parce que a) elle n’a pas eu la formation, et b) parce qu’elle était troublée et qu’il était difficile de se souvenir des répliques quand elle traversait une période difficile.
Elle était malade à l'époque et elle était perturbée. Elle avait pris deux fois une surdose de somnifères. J'en suis sûre par accident car son grand ennemi était qu'elle ne pouvait pas dormir. Et donc, les nuits où elle prenait deux pilules, puis deux autres pilules, puis en oubliant, elle se réveillait et était confuse, et le matin, elle pouvait à peine trouver son chemin. "

When I was 18, I worked with Eve for a summer as her assistant. By that time we had become very close. As we worked, Eve would lovingly introduce me to the world of photography and to different parts of her vast archive. I remember being particularly drawn to this image of Marilyn in the desert learning her lines. I didn’t know the backstory at the time but there was something mesmerizing about the way the picture was composed. The barren desert in the foreground, ethereal, textured clouds in the sky and this legendary Hollywood star standing under a boom microphone, looking like a little girl, lost in thought. It was no wonder to me that this was one of Eve’s most iconic images.
Quand j'avais 18 ans, j'ai travaillé avec Eve pendant un été en tant qu'assistant. À ce moment-là, nous étions devenus très proches. Pendant que nous travaillions, Eve me présentait avec amour le monde de la photographie et les différentes parties de ses vastes archives. Je me souviens avoir été particulièrement attiré par cette image de Marilyn dans le désert apprenant ses lignes. Je ne connaissais pas la trame de fond à l'époque, mais il y avait quelque chose de fascinant dans la façon dont l'image était composée. Le désert aride au premier plan, des nuages éthérés et texturés dans le ciel et cette légendaire star hollywoodienne debout sous un microphone à perche, ressemblant à une petite fille, perdue dans ses pensées. Il n’était pas étonnant pour moi que ce soit l’une des images les plus emblématiques d’Eve.
A few years later I was looking through Eve’s contact sheets and saw the full contact sheet this image was taken from. I was quite taken aback. None of the other images on the sheet looked anything like this one. I had imagined that Eve had set the scene up knowing what she wanted and had taken quite a few images, waiting for the right light and expression on Marilyn’s face. But no, there were only three other images of the same scene, and all of them were in portrait format. Then suddenly, as shown by the contact sheet, Eve had turned her 35mm camera around to use landscape format, and in an instant, the whole composition came together, never to be repeated. In that instant something of the poignancy of Marilyn’s experience on The Misfits was caught on camera.
Quelques années plus tard, je regardais à travers les planches contact d'Eve et vis la planche complète à partir de laquelle cette image était prise. J'ai été assez surpris. Aucune des autres images de la feuille ne ressemblait à celle-ci. J'avais imaginé qu'Eve avait préparé la scène en sachant ce qu'elle voulait et avait pris pas mal d'images, en attendant la bonne lumière et l'expression sur le visage de Marilyn. Mais non, il n'y avait que trois autres images de la même scène, et toutes étaient au format portrait. Puis tout à coup, comme le montre la planche contact, Eve avait tourné son appareil photo 35 mm pour utiliser le format paysage, et en un instant, toute la composition s'est réunie, pour ne jamais être répétée. À cet instant, quelque chose de l’émotion de l’expérience de Marilyn sur The Misfits était saisie par l'objectif.
I recently got the chance to look through Eve’s contact sheets and transparencies from The Misfits again. They are currently housed at Yale University’s Beinecke Library and I was there exploring a digitization project which seeks to make more of Eve’s previously unseen images available. Within just a few minutes I found some wonderful images on contact sheets that I had never seen, marked in grease pencil with an “E”, by Eve herself.
J'ai récemment eu la chance de parcourir à nouveau les planches contact et les transparents d'Eve sur The Misfits. Ils sont actuellement stockés à la bibliothèque Beinecke de l’université de Yale et j’y étais pour explorer un projet de numérisation qui vise à rendre disponibles davantage d’images inédites d’Eve. En quelques minutes, j'ai trouvé de merveilleuses images sur des feuilles de contact que je n'avais jamais vues, marquées au crayon gras avec un «E», par Eve elle-même.

(...) Look at Eve Arnold’s coverage of the making of The Misfits, a film that failed at the box office, in spite of its deeply troubled all-star cast – two of whom would never make another film.
Regarder le reportage d'Eve Arnold sur la réalisation de The Misfits, un film qui a échoué au box-office, en dépit de son casting de stars profondément troublées - dont deux d'entre elles ne feront jamais un autre film.
Eve Arnold didn’t know it at the time, but what she photographed on the set of 1961’s The Misfits was to be the last movie completed by Marilyn Monroe and her co-star Clark Gable. The film, an elegiac tale of divorce and aging cowboys, is tainted with sadness as Monroe’s swansong. She died of an overdose just a year after the film’s release.
Eve Arnold ne le savait pas à l'époque, mais ce qu'elle a photographié sur le tournage de The Misfits en 1961 devait être le dernier film réalisé par Marilyn Monroe et sa co-star Clark Gable. Le film, un conte élégiaque de divorce et de cow-boys vieillissants, est teinté de tristesse comme le chant du cygne de Monroe. Elle est décédée d’une overdose juste un an après la sortie du film.

By all accounts, The Misfits was a troubled production. Directed by John Huston from a script by Arthur Miller, it was shot in the blistering 107-degree heat of the Nevada desert. There was the breakdown of Monroe and Miller’s marriage to contend with. There was Huston’s drinking and gambling. There was Monroe’s descent into alcohol and prescription drug use, not to mention the fact she rarely showed up on time, if at all. Huston, in a Rolling Stone interview, later said he was “absolutely certain that she was doomed” during the production. Filming even halted for two weeks while she was hospitalized, reportedly for detox.
Au dire de tous, The Misfits était une production en difficulté. Réalisé par John Huston à partir d'un scénario d'Arthur Miller, il a été tourné dans la chaleur fulgurante de 40 degrés dans le désert du Nevada. Il y avait la rupture du mariage de Monroe et Miller à affronter. Il y avait la boisson et le jeu de Huston. Il y a eu la descente de Monroe dans la consommation d'alcool et de médicaments sur ordonnance, sans parler du fait qu'elle se présentait rarement à l'heure, voire pas du tout. Huston, dans une interview à Rolling Stone, a déclaré plus tard qu'il était «absolument certain qu'elle était condamnée» pendant la production. Le tournage s'est même arrêté pendant deux semaines alors qu'elle était hospitalisée, apparemment pour une cure de désintoxication.

In her photographs, Arnold captures Monroe and Miller sitting on the back of a truck, her staring pensively at the ground. In another, Miller is showing her some dance moves for a scene. The photographer captures Gable – who died 12 days after production wrapped – with his wife, dressed formally and standing under an orange tree. Arnold followed the production from Reno to Dayton, from the Nevada desert to LA. Sometimes she was a fly on the wall, revealing an unseen side of these cultural icons. Other times she asked them to pose for her camera in-between takes.
Dans ses photographies, Arnold capture Monroe et Miller assis à l'arrière d'un camion, fixant pensivement le sol. Dans un autre, Miller lui montre quelques mouvements de danse pour une scène. La photographe capture Gable - décédé 12 jours après la fin de la production - avec sa femme, habillée formellement et debout sous un oranger. Arnold a suivi la production de Reno à Dayton, du désert du Nevada à Los Angeles. Parfois, elle était comme une mouche sur un mur, révélant un côté invisible de ces icônes culturelles. D'autres fois, elle leur a demandé de poser pour sa caméra entre les prises.

Though it was both Monroe and Gable’s final film, it tanked at the box office. Only in recent decades has it garnered acclaim as a moody, monochrome story of loneliness in the West, with the Guardian dubbing it a “melancholy drama that pulses with sadness and symbolism”. Like the mournful tone of the film, Arnold’s pictures carry an unintended emotional weight, the story behind the production – Monroe’s tortured soul – as intriguing and stirring as the film itself.
Bien qu’il s’agisse à la fois du dernier film de Monroe et de Gable, il a fait un flop au box-office. Ce n'est qu'au cours des dernières décennies qu'il a été acclamé comme une histoire sombre et monochrome de solitude en Occident, avec le Guardian le surnommant un «drame mélancolique qui vibre de tristesse et de symbolisme». Comme le ton triste du film, les images d'Arnold ont un poids émotionnel involontaire, l'histoire derrière la production - l'âme torturée de Monroe - aussi intrigante et émouvante que le film lui-même.

Doc - Le Cinéma dans l'oeil de Magnum
Le cinéma dans l'oeil de Magnum
Année: 2017
Réalisation: Sophie Bassaler
Pays: France
Durée: 54 min
À l’occasion des 70 ans de Magnum, retour sur le lien noué entre les photographes de l'agence mythique et le monde du cinéma. Une plongée unique dans le regard des créateurs, parmi lesquels Robert Capa, Cartier-Bresson, ou Josef Koudelka.
L'agence Magnum, créée en 1947 par Robert Capa, est intimement liée au cinéma depuis soixante-dix ans. Ses photographes iconiques, Capa lui-même, Cartier-Bresson, ou plus tard Josef Koudelka ont accompagné des tournages, leurs réalisateurs et leurs vedettes. Ils ont ainsi documenté des scènes de vie quotidienne, de travail, ou choisi de s'écarter du cadre pour immortaliser leur propre vision artistique. Venant du reportage de guerre ou du documentaire, ces photographes du réel ont appliqué leurs méthodes de travail à ce monde d’illusions : appareil léger, lumière naturelle, photo sur le vif et sans retouches. Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Kate Winslet, Michelangelo Antonioni ou Theo Angelopoulos sont passés sous l'œil de l'agence, instaurant un lien unique qui ne s'est pas défait en soixante-dix ans.
Fiction et réel
C’est par amour pour l’actrice Ingrid Bergman que Robert Capa prend la toute première photo de cinéma de Magnum sur le tournage des Enchaînés d’Alfred Hitchcock, inaugurant cette histoire entre l’agence et le cinéma. À partir de nombreux récits inédits, le documentaire retrace toute une vie d’histoires croisées entre deux mondes qu’a priori tout oppose : la fiction et le réel, comme cette rencontre en 1994 entre le réalisateur Theo Angelopoulos et le jeune photographe Josef Koudelka. Ils puiseront dans les Balkans, lieu de tournage du film Le regard d'Ulysse, des clichés et plans extraordinaires, tout en gardant chacun leur signature unique. Un témoignage passionnant sur le regard des créateurs, artistes de l'image, qu'ils soient derrière une caméra ou un appareil photo.

Retranscription du passage lié à Marilyn Monroe:
(à 19min 30sec) - Peter Marlow (photographe): Quand on a ce genre de relations, cela rend les choses très différentes; ça permet d'atteindre ce niveau d'intimité.
David Hurn (photographe): L'exemple parfait, c'est Marilyn Monroe et Eve Arnold. Elles étaient très amies et totalement à l'aise ensemble.
Eve Arnold (photographe): Marilyn avait vu une série de photos que j'avais faite de Marlene Dietrich. C'était au début des années 50; ça devait être en 52. A cette époque, les photos étaient toutes retouchées. Tout était très mis en scène. Moi, je ne savais rien de tout ça, j'étais une photojournaliste. J'ai photographié Marlene comme elle était. Elle ne posait pas. Il n'y avait pas de décor ou d'éclairage, juste moi et elle qui chantait. Quelques temps plus tard, je suis allée à une fête donnée pour John Huston. C'est Sam Shaw, un ami commun, qui m'a présentée à Marilyn. Elle m'a regardée et m'a dit: "Vous avez fait du beau travail avec Marlene. Imaginez ce que vous pourriez faire avec moi." J'ai trouvé ça merveilleux. Il se dégageait d'elle une vraie naïveté, mais en même temps, elle avait le sens de son image et savait se vendre. Je suis sûre qu'elle a tout de suite sentie ce que nous pourrions faire ensemble. Un jour, une nuit plutôt, vers 4 heures du matin, elle m'a appelée pour savoir si j'acceptais de la rejoindre à 10 heures du matin à l'aéroport. J'aurai droit à un reportage exclusif, car elle voyageait seule avec son coiffeur.
Isabella Rossellini (actrice, réalisatrice): Eve avait sa délicatesse qui je pense, lui a permis de gagner la confiance d'autres actrices. Notamment, celle de Joan Crawford.
(... à 21min 50sec) - Eve Arnold: C'était à Chicago durant une escale qui s'éternisait. Marilyn est allée aux toilettes et comme je suis une femme, je l'ai suivie. Je n'avais pas l'intention de la photographier, mais elle était si belle avec sa jupe relevée sur ses petites jambes potelées. J'avais toujours pensé qu'elle était mince. Elle avait cette merveilleuse capacité à se faire plus grande qu'elle n'était.
David Hurn: Cette photo est tellement intime. Et j'aime à pense que Eve était si proche d'elle, que Marilyn lui faisait tellement confiance. Cette photo, pour moi, c'est la quintessence de la photographie.
Eve Arnold: Je l'ai photographiée sur une période de 10 ans. La plus courte de nos séances n'a duré que deux heures et la plus longue, deux mois, sur le tournage du film "The Misfits" de John Huston. Arthur Miller avait écrit une nouvelle dans laquelle il racontait l'histoire de trois hommes qui travaillaient dans le désert et capturaient des mustangs qu'ils vendaient ensuite pour faire de la nourriture pour chiens. C'est dans ce cadre sauvage qu'apparaît Marilyn. Clark Gable et Marilyn étaient le couple vedette. Il y avait aussi Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach. Le film a été conçu dans le but de donner enfin un rôle sérieux à Marilyn.
Alain Bergala (essayiste): Les "Misfits" est totalement exceptionnel sur plein de points. Mais quand le film a commencé à se tourner, personne ne pouvait savoir à quel point, ce serait un film exceptionnel.
Voix Off: Le tournage du film "The Misfits" est un cas unique dans l'histoire des relations entre photographie et cinéma. Neuf grands photographes de Magnum Photos vont suivre ce tournage chaotique durant les trois mois de l'été 1960 à Reno et dans le désert du Nevada. Se succédant deux à deux toutes les deux semaines. Cet accord exceptionnel n'était pas uniquement le fait des liens de John Huston et de l'agence, mais revient à l'initiative de Lee Jones, à l'époque responsable des projets spéciaux du bureau de New York, qui a eu le pressentiment que ce film au casting de rêve mériterait une couverture exceptionnelle.
Alain Bergala: C'était la première fois dans l'histoire du cinéma où une agence obtenait l'exclusivité. Alors que toute la presse du monde aurait voulu être là. Il l'a obtenu pour une raison simple c'était que Marilyn était déjà mal en point au début du tournage et si elle avait vu arriver des photographes du monde entier, elle aurait craqué.
Voix Off: Les deux premiers photographes à arriver à Reno sont Inge Morath et Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Agnès Sire (directrice de la fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson): Cartier-Bresson, ça ne l'intéressait pas du tout. Et puis il a entrepris un voyage aux Etats-Unis l'année du tournage des "Misfits" et je pense que Lee Jones et tous les autres à Magnum lui ont dit: "Ca serait bien, on a l'exclu sur ce tournage. Ca serait bien que tu viennes, il y a Marilyn Monroe, etc..." Donc, il est allé sur le tournage; il n'est pas resté très longtemps. Mais il a fait beaucoup de photos; il a fait un portrait de Marilyn Monroe qui est très, très beau. Sa définition du portrait, qui est l'idée de saisir le silence intérieur d'une victime consentante, on voit vraiment, dans la photo de Marilyn Monroe, son silence intérieur.
Inge Morath (photographe -en 2001): Tout était exotique. Le caractère si américain du film était aussi exotique pour nous. Nous adoptions un point de vue très européen.
Agnès Sire: Arthur Miller a donc épousé Inge Morath qu'il a connue sur ce tournage des "Misfits". Arthur Miller était encore marié à Marilyn Monroe, mais c'était en train de se déliter totalement.
Alain Bergala: C'est hallucinant ce qu'on voit là dans les photos de ce tournage. Des scènes privées. C'est à dire que tout était destroy et du coup, tout était possible. Le photographe pouvait rentrer et faire la scène du ménage qui avait lieu à côté. Cela a évidemment beaucoup joué. Et ils ont senti ça, que tout allait mal.
Elliott Erwitt (photographe): Le chaos qui régnait sur le tournage était dû aux constants retards de Marilyn, à sa nervosité, et à sa grande détresse de façon générale.
Alain Bergala: Quand les acteurs arrivent, ils sont tous en très mauvais état. Clark Gable n'est pas en mauvais état mais il est très vieux, et Marilyn, ce film se trouve être son dernier film et elle le fait en très très mauvais état.
Bruce Davidson (photographe): Ce n'est pas le sex-appeal de Marilyn qui m'a attiré, mais sa fragilité. C'était une artiste qui luttait contre la dépression. Il y a cette photo que j'ai prise d'elle avec Huston qui m'a mis mal à l'aise. Elle souffrait beaucoup.
Susan Richards (auteure): Monty Clift était un peu comme elle. Les acteurs que Dennis trouvait les plus humains sortaient souvent de l'Actor's Studio. Ils essayaient de rester eux-mêmes à Hollywood où tout le monde porte un masque. Et Monty Clift ne jouait pas ce jeu là.
Alain Bergala: L'homosexualité qu'il s'interdisait de faire savoir, névrose absolue, drogues, lui, il avait tout à la fois. Et c'est magnifique. Evidemment, la scène dans l'arrière-cour où ils sont tous les deux complètement destroy, parce qu'ils étaient réellement destroy. Et Huston détestant les homosexuels... En plus, c'était pas simple pour eux, le rapport avec Huston.
Marilyn Monroe: Ce travail peut être si... On essaie d'être sincère. Cela nous amène parfois au bord d'une sorte de folie. Ce n'est pas vraiment de la folie. Il s'agit plutôt d'essayer d'extraire de soi une part de vérité. Et c'est très dur. Enfin, disons, que c'est pas facile.
Alain Bergala: Marilyn, comme toutes les stars, contrôlait les images qu'on pouvait montrer d'elle. Sur les photos qu'elle ne voulait pas voir diffuser, on voit tout ce qui la menace. C'est à dire pour elle, la beauté n'était pas donnée, n'était pas acquise, qu'est ce qu'il a fallu de travail et d'efforts pour qu'on ait une autre image que ça. Cette lutte l'a tuée. D'être toujours une image, à un moment, ça ne tient plus. C'est le film où ça ne tient plus.
Eve Arnold: On l'a tous utilisée, cela ne fait aucun doute. Nous, photographes, devons accepter le fait qu'on a besoin de l'image des autres. Bien sûr, sans la photographie, Marilyn n'aurait jamais été Marilyn. On l'aurait jamais vue car c'est ainsi que beaucoup de gens l'ont découverte. C'est un cercle vicieux, tout le monde utilise tout le monde. Elle m'a utilisée pour l'aider à aller là où elle voulait, moi et des centaines d'autres. Je n'étais pas unique. J'était unique que dans le sens où elle faisait totalement confiance.
Elliott Erwitt: Les photographes qui ont travaillé sur ce tournage n'étaient pas des paparazzis. Nous étions des photographes Magnum. Personne ne cherchait à nuire ou à créer de scandales. Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait eu des gens comme ça parmi nous.
Voix Off: Le tournage des "Misfits" s'achève le 4 novembre 1960. Le lendemain, Clark Gable est victime d'une crise cardiaque dont il décèdera quelques jours plus tard. Rarement la frontière entre la fiction et la réalité fut aussi mince; et la proximité entre les photographes et les stars aussi grandes.
Alain Bergala: C'est un film 'bascule'. Le cinéma hollywoodien ne sera jamais plus la même chose qu'avant. C'est terminé, donc Il a filmé, en même temps, la décomposition d'un système.
Voix Off: Concurrencé par la télévision, le système des studios s'est essouflé. Et bientôt, les grands magazines suivront. Pour Magnum et le cinéma, une page se tourne.

Notes on the envelope read "16mm publicity" and "The Misfits/ film for Foreign Screening." Accompanied by a document from UA titled “The Making of ‘The Misfits’/ (Narration for a 20-minute featurette)” with a personal note to Monroe affixed to the cover page.
The film begins with Marilyn Monroe arriving in Reno, Nevada, with Arthur Miller and being received at the airport, then then driving through Reno. The next scene appears to be a press conference with Monroe and co-stars Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, Kevin McCarthy, Thelma Ritter, director John Huston and Monroe's husband, Arthur Miller.
The approximately 19-minute film goes on to show a variety of behind-the-scenes activities of the cast and crew beginning with the filming of Monroe and Ritter in a street scene that was cut from the final version of the film.
Other segments of the include Monroe at Harrahs Casino taking refreshment with Ritter, Houston and a dog Monroe attempts to feed; the cast on location; street filming in Reno with the cast in a vehicle followed by a parade of observers; Monroe signing autographs; Monroe greeting and get on a horse; shots of the cast being filmed riding together; aerial images of the set; a baseball game being played on set; a football being tossed on set with Miller and Houston joining in the game; and Monroe lounging with two other women on the hood of a car. The last part of the film shows the filming of a “Misfits” scene where Monroe is swimming and playing with a dog in the water. The very last image is of Monroe running from the water to embrace Gable. No audio. Accompanied by a DVD copy of the film.
