This was an amazing recreation and I think this is what you do best. Movies like these deserve to be remembered and revisited. Marilyn and other cast members were going through a lot of turmoil in their personal lives and in the making of this movie. How lucky are we that this piece of history is preserved for future generations and appreciated so many years later.

Jordan! You should feel SO proud of yourself for this vlog!! I'M so proud of you for this vlog! And even prouder to call myself a Lionheart! The work you put into this vlog was outstanding and I got goosebumps seeing the desert filming locations at the end! I'm a huge Marilyn, Clark and The Misfits fan.. this has made my year!

I know what you mean. It's as if their spirits are still out there. The depth of the movie probably reflected the 'Misfit' in each of them.

@@DazewithJordantheLion honestly meant and sincerely felt! I watched The Misfits again tonight after seeing your vid... I always thought during THAT scene with Gable and his children, that he HAD seen them, but maybe he had created a scene and they left because they felt embarrassed by him.. But now, after your vlog and seeing it again, my opinion has completely changed! Perhaps it WAS just a hallucination.. which in my eyes, makes the scene even MORE extraordinary and powerful. Superb acting on Gables part.

Hi Jordan, sad that the hotel has gone now, it would have been nice to have had a quick look in. Stunning scenery on your drive out. I thought it was quite a sad film, both on and off production. I completely agree with you when you said it wasn't a film that people who liked those actors were expecting. Sad in real life for Clark, Marilyn and Montgomery. Great vlog Jordan.

This was an awesome video. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your work here. My father passed away in 1974 and, I realize it sounds silly to some, but Clark Gable in his films became almost a surrogate father to me. In 1976 I read Lyn Tornabene’s “Long Live the King” and she goes in detail about the Misfits. Thanks to this outstanding video I can see so much of the landscape and locations referenced in the book. Great job. Great commentary. Just awesome.

It's great to see a young guy take an interest in older actors and movies. Especially since both M M & C G passed away in the 1960's so long ago. Your doing fine work Thanks for keeping history alive !

I loved this! One of my favorite Marilyn movies! And I am digging those sunglasses, Jordan!

Yes. It is a role unlike Monroe's past roles. A very dark film ahead of its time. An Eastern Western. I live actually, two blocks from the courthouse.

Great vlog love The Misfits and am a huge Marilyn fan. Love the line on the bridge ' go on honey everybody does it. More gold in that river than there is in the Klondyke'

Interesting vid, Jordan, with lots of good background info. I've seen the Misfits, but don't remember it as well as you do. That scene with Marilyn screaming out there in the desert is burned in my memory, though. You know, Gable could still take that dog into Harrah's today -- if it was an emotional support dog! 🙂

This was so great - I love The Misfits! Thank you for another amazing vlog!

It was a movie that was way ahead of it's time! Shows how talented Arthur was

Wonderful vlog Jordan thank you for all your work on and off the camera. Such stunning area of America. I think MM looked her best in the Misfits. I will need to watch it again.

met Eli in '76 when I was an extra in a film he shot in Canada...very personable and he gave me his autograph. Always been a MM fan and collector so my MM owned memorabilia involves "Misfits" :D

What a cool vlog! No other opportunity to see a slice of classic movie history, where likely no one else would know where to look. Thank you again, Jordan!

Great vlog. I'm a "Misfits" fan myself, not only the movie but the history of the behind the scenes, which I personally think is more remembered than the movie itself. A few side notes, Kevin McCarthy also played the narrator on "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". The music director for "The Misfits" was Alex North. Arthur Miller met his 3rd wife Inge Morath, a photographer for Magnum, on the set. Their daughter Rebecca Miller is a writer and director married to Daniel Day-Lewis! Evidently, like Marilyn, Montgomery Clift did not like "The Misfits". The night before he died, the movie was showing on television. When his assistant asked if he would like to watch it, He answered "Absolutely not!"

Thank you so much for putting this together. I am a long time MM fan, and Misfits is my most favorite of all the films (and the cast as a whole is incredible). I look forward to visiting Reno and retracing these same places you've shared!

Terrific content and one of my favorite movies! Thanks

Oh wow Jordan,I haven't seen Reno since 1970 , big changes for sure. Thanks for doing the locations of this movie , one I have enjoyed watching many times.

Great story... you are the story teller! Marilyn looked so fragile and vulnerable in this film. Another fine film is 5 Easy Pieces... ever seen it? It would make a great vlog too.

Wow!!! I never really knew ANYTHING about this movie but this was fascinating! So sad that this was the final movie for Gable and Monroe. I knew that he died shortly after the conclusion but I never realized that it was THAT soon. Ironic to think that Nevada played such a big part in both his and Lombard's deaths so many years apart.

One of the best acting performances from Marilyn and Gable, the whole main cast in fact. thanks for the input.

Thrilled that you and Anne deeply appreciate this movie! The comment by the lady magazine reporter made me think of Carole Lombard. 🦁🦁🦁

Great video, I'm born and raised in Reno nice to see you do one here. I always remember my mom talking about this movie, too bad the mapes isn't here anymore because it was a beautiful building. Great job Jordan.

Good job the places look familiar too me. You would be a good TV announcer for a tv show 😊👏👍☝️👏 you have talent😊 this is one my favorite movies of the 50's-60's I never get tired of watching it

Love your recap! Well done. Lucky Anne to receive those fabulous sunglasses 😎

Great vlog, I love this movie so much. You know, there used to be a story that Marilyn was blamed for Clark Gable's death. That her shananigans during the movie, not showing up on time, not knowing her lines, etc., caused his heart attack because he was so angry with her throughout the shooting of the film. Who knows, but that seems a little extreme in this day and age. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this, I really enjoyed it 😀😀😀.

Actually Gable was very patient with Monroe because he realized that she was an emotional wreck though he could see her talent. John Huston was responsible for egging Gable on to do his own stunts. He was playing Gable as the macho man so he could get some good close ups though a lot while the film was being held up waiting on Monroe.

Good Sunday morning Jordan 🌞. I love your vlog about The Mitfits. Good job. Thank you for sharing your information with us 🦁❤️😊. Nice 😎

This was amazing! I love Clark and Monty movies so much and what a great one to vlog capturing them all. I enjoyed the movie as well and I think more so because of it unfortunately being the last for some. This was an impressive filing location vlog!

Enjoyed this as I do all your videos- Love those sunglasses!

I am a HUGE Marilyn fan , And This was the first Marilyn movie i had ever seen !!! Like My 2nd fave Marilyn Movie ~ well , cuz i Love Clark Gable too !!!

What an excellent vlog on one of my favorite movies. You brought the movie back to life. And those are some great sunglasses too!!!

Wow! Great vlog and beautiful scenery! You couldn’t have picked a more beautiful day!

One of my favorite films ! Thank you for doing an excellent job of telling the story, and taking us back to the locations . This is one of my favorites of yours !

Beautiful tribute to a great movie. LOve this desert. Thank you very much.

Its a great movie Jordan and has a very unique vibe to it, and yes the scene with Gable on the car was fantastic acting , thanks for a brilliant video.

Fantastic video Jordan! My favourite Marilyn film. Great to see all those locations.

I love all of your videos. I started going back to your first video and am watching them in order. great stuff. thank you soo much. I have never seen this movie, gotta watch it now

Bravo to you Mister J once again for being the world's greatest tour guide - it's always a pleasure and a joy to follow you around.

Wonderful vlog Jordan! You captured the spirit of the actors in the movie brilliantly.

This may be my favorite installment. It's gratifying to hear someone talk about the Misfits because it slips between the cracks too often. Not that it would amount to anything like the original, but someone could reshoot The Misfits in Reno and still catch at least the same atmosphere of the place. You can sense it in this Vlog.

Fascinating story Jordan. You are a true blue vlogger. Thank you so much. Love to you and Jah

Gable's best. Marilyn's 2nd best. Wallach's 3rd best. Clift was miscast. Ritter, good as usual. Miller's script, effective. Huston, working for a paycheck. Jordan The Lion, king of backstory!

One of my all time favorite movies. Thank you for the tribute Jordan.

Gable was a big time cigarette smoker all his life, and in the end he switched to cigars. The issue is you don't inhale cigars which he did like 10-12 cigars a day!

I love this movie! Misfits is my favorite MM movie and YES Clark Gable is fantastic, the dialogue he tells her while she is laying on the flatbed truck gets me everytime!!! thank you Jordan for this one!! YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB! I would have loved to know where Guidos house location was. WHERE THEY ALL END UP DRINKING. And Roslyn and Gay end up staying together and seem so happy. in the movie he says its right outside of HOLLYVILLE. He Guido mentions this in the bar. The dialogue is soooo good kudos to Arthur Miller's writing. GREAT GREAT MOVIE. Sometimes the best classic movies are not the most popular. So happy I own it on DVD. THANKS AGAIN JORDAN YOU MADE MY DAY!

Good One Jordan !! It’s Great seeing where this movie was filmed & your commentary was Awesome!! Thanks Buddy! 😎 By the way, Great Glasses!! 🙌

Catching up on your vids. Misfits is one of fave movies, dark, but loved the cast ... excellent acting. Thank you Jordan, very well done.

This is fantastic!!! Thank you for filming and sharing this!!!

I love Reno. I was there a few times. Love this movie!!! My favorite actress, Marylin Monroe. What a great vlog🤗. Thank you Jordan. Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁

One of my favorite films! Monroe was great in this one, underrated actress 👍

Love all 3 if them,and am working on getting all of their 3 films,i have several,thanks, i always enjoy your videos 😊

Late comer to this vlog...It was really awesome to see the saloon! Looked like a very quiet and almost abandoned area, so you had a great atmosphere to film and narrate in. To know so much of a movie is filmed in one place and then it sit there years later like nothing ever happened is what makes finds like this so neat! I have to admit I think I would have rubbed some of the paint off of the building with paper or tried to find a sliver of the wood porch to have something from it. I bet people in traffic were wondering "Why is this guy filming a stoplight pole?" LOL! Thanks for this vlog, Jordan!

Just seen the movie loved the acting. Thanks for the background on set

Again a great vlog Jordan!! I love MM.

Good work! This is one of my favorite movies and I thank you for doing this.

This is a favorite, loved this movie. I think it was their greatest...

Great Vlog! Really enjoyed it. I liked the movie and enjoyed all the fill-in info you gave. This is a five star one (like many of your vlogs).

Really dig those shades bro😎 great job as always

Great in-depth video of one of my fav films!! Was there exploring Misfits locations years ago as well. Wanted to go to the Guido house , but I believe it’s a private ranch/property near Pyramid Lake. Keep up the good work! 🎸✌🏼

Great vlog! Thank you Jordan & Anne! 👍🏻

Interesting vlog. A lot of good information in this one. Not much going on in Reno it looks like. Thanks for taking us around and showing us the filming locations. Safe Travels and Take Care.

Thank you Jordan. Well done. I love The Misfits and It brings me joy knowing your out there visiting places that are extremely interesting parts of pop culture and history in general. Interesting to me anyway hahahaha. I dig what you do. It is thrilling to visit specific locations and grateful to be able to be there and just getting lost in the moment and nostalgia of it. Excellent

Great job Jordan it must of been hot as blazes out there and you still were able to deliver a great video ♥️

Hello Jordan, I'm the current president of the local ECV chapter and wanted to let you know that I really like your video and that I just installed a historical plaque commemorating the filming of the Misfits on the Odeon Hall in downtown Dayton. Come check it out next time you're in Dayton.

Thanks Jordan this was so good, and so was the movie.

Best movie ever shot in Reno...Thanks Jordan.

Really nice vlog thank you Jordan !

Love the way you work❤❤❤

Arthur Miller was on the money about Reno's desolate landscape. It can make people feel small and insignificant. She didn't throw her wedding ring into the river, she kept the good part for herself. She won.

Great job!! Enjoyed it so much!!
