Prehaps 2disc set could be in future


I just read in this weeks(Sunday paper), PARADE magazine with Marilyn on the cover, that there was some great new footage just discovered from this film. I don`t know if its outtakes, unused scenes, flubs,etc. All I know is that Liz Smith, who wrote the two page article, says that some wonderful new footage was found. So, if some smart exec. is reading this, is`nt it about time that The Misfits, get the EXTRAS treatment? I think that the only films of hers (or she appears in), that have commentaries are; Clash By Night, Some Like It Hot, All About Eve and The Asphalt Jungle. Thats pathetic, for such a star as her. Plus I wish that if this ever happens, they should include the ultra rare footage of Marilyn doing black and white test footage of costumes and hair styles shot in New York, right before she flew out to Nevada. James Haspeil was there and knows this. Years ago Entertainment Tonight ran this footage, with a lip reader, since it is silent. A Mr.Keith Burns ownes this footage since it was in the credits. So is`nt it about time that this noteworthy work be recognized for a special edition? Maybe they even unearthed THE END!
