The five-week, 54-film festival at Film Forum from March 28 to May 1 celebrates the 90th anniversary of United Artists, and it resumes this week with John Huston’s The Misfits (1961), from Arthur Miller’s screenplay, with Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach, James Barton and Estelle Winwood. At best, it’s a spectacular misfire, but it’s a must-see if you have a certain morbid interest in the movie swan songs of Gable (1901-1960) and Monroe (1926-1962), and the continuing decline of Clift (1920-1966), after an automobile accident left him slightly disfigured around the time of Edward Dmytryk’s Raintree County (1957). It screens on April 3 at 2, 4:30, 7 and 9:30.

A James Bond vehicle for Sean Connery and a lesser Billy Wilder picture follow on Friday, April 4, with Terence Young’s From Russia With Love (1963), with Mr. Connery, Lotte Lenya, Robert Shaw, Daniela Bianchi, Pedro Armendáriz, Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell, showing at 1, 5:10 and 9:20. Billy Wilder’s much too frantic One, Two, Three, with James Cagney (doing his hilarious “Is this the end of Rico?” imitation of his early 30’s gangster flick rival, Edward G. Robinson), Arlene Francis, Horst Buchholz, Pamela Tiffin, Lilo Pulver, Howard St. John, Hans Lothar and Red Buttons, screens at 3:10 and 7:20

Then on Friday, April 5, Guy Hamilton’s Goldfinger (1964), with Mr. Connery, Gert Fröbe, Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Harold Sakata and Tania Mallet, shows at 1, 5:15 and 9:30, and Terence Young’s Dr. No (1962), with Mr. Connery, Ursula Andress, Joseph Wiseman, Jack Lord, Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell, is at 3:10 and 7:25. On Sunday and Monday, April 6 and 7, there’s Billy Wilder’s Oscar-winning The Apartment (1960), with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston, Jack Kruschen, David Lewis and Joan Shawlee. Ms. MacLaine should also have won the Oscar that year over Elizabeth Taylor, who scored for her thesping in Daniel Mann’s abysmal Butterfield 8. The Apartment screens on Sunday at 3:15 and 7, and on Monday at 3:15. Also, Jules Dassin’s Never on Sunday (1960), with Melina Mercouri, Mr. Dassin and Giorgos Foundas, screens on Sunday at 1:30, 5:35 and 9:40, and on Monday at 1:30 and 5:35.

That Monday also brings Orphans of the Storm (1922), with Lillian and Dorothy Gish, at 8:10 (live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner). On Tuesday, April 8, John Sturges’ The Great Escape (1963), with Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, James Garner, David McCallum, Donald Pleasence, James Donald, Gordon Jackson and Nigel Stock, screens at 1, 4:10 and 7:20.
