Eli Wallach recalls in his 2006 autobiography "The Good, The Bad and Me", that what he felt was one of his best dramatic scenes in "The Misfits" was cut from the script. Wallach's character is emotionally crushed when he visits Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe), and instead runs into Gable's character and realizes any hope with Roslyn is dashed. Gable asked (within his contractual rights) that the scene be removed, and when Wallach spoke to him, Gable explained he felt that "his character would never steal a woman from a friend".
