The Misfits Set Photography Print

Filmed in the blistering heat of the Nevada desert, The Misfits would famously become the final completed film for both Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable. This print captures a rare moment of levity between the three lead actors against a weathered wooden backdrop.

About classic Hollywood photography

Studio portrait photographers of Hollywood’s golden age used dramatic lighting to create the glamour of the stars. Black-and-white prints sit comfortably in almost any room, from minimalist to traditional. Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless.

Styling this classic Hollywood photograph

Its black-and-white palette makes this classic Hollywood photograph easy to build a room around. As a landscape piece, “The Misfits Set” fills the space above a desk at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a home office. Because “The Misfits Set” is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look. Build a gallery wall around “The Misfits Set”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its black-and-white and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
