Brando was so impressed by Clift's acting in A Place in the Sun that he voted for him at the Oscars over himself in Streetcar Named Desire. Doesn't get any better than that.

i wish he had a better life

Wow!!! I forgot how incredibly HANDSOME he was!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Fell in love with Montgomery Clift the first time I laid eyes upon him...To me he was the most lovely actor to ever appear on the screen...right on up to the day he left us.

What a beautiful man. He is like a magnet you can't remove your eyes on him.

He was an GREAT ACTOR AND a most beautiful Man, with those enticing eyes. I could not have done a scene with him ever..I would have needed a drool bucket..lol Just absolutely STUNNING! RIP Monty😘

His eyes ....... the most expressive on film ... poor Monty 😍😍😍💔💔💔💖💖💖

Beautiful music for the most beautiful man. I don't know how any actress could keep their wits about them when he was looking at them with those gorgeous, expressive eyes.

He's so dreamy...

He haunts me like no other.

He put his heart and soul into every performance he ever gave. What a wonderful actor!

A Place in the Sun was my favourite movie with this handsome and talented actor.

This made me cry

Clift and Brando were the great revolutionaries. They were the first to understand restraint and emotion.

Yes, absolutelly breathtaking video. Monty had a face of an angel and his eyes were to die for. Lord, what an amazing actor! What a talent. His body language, eye expressions, gentleness could melt the entire Alasca and North Pole together. The song goes together with this outstanding actor and amazing performances. Monty had a rare gift that Hollywood did not know how to make good use of it because they thought they knew it all. Monty was a screen writer.

He was absolutely stunning!!

Watched A Place in the Sun this week. Just amazing.. Clift and Liz Taylor the ultimate star crossed lovers brought to the screen.

There is only one, Montgomery Clift. Magnificence.

The greatest actor I have ever seen.

need more actors like him today.

a truly great actor....

He just oozed charisma. Completely magnetic.

An absolutely beautiful tribute to the wonderful Monty Clift!

Super handsome... 💔 💔 💔 His legacy remains... may he rest in peace. Endearing video.

One of the greatest actors ever!! Very few films on his resume but all of them essential and hollywood classics

A man who, in his prime, was as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor.

I miss Montgomery Clift...saw him in The Heiress recently... Where are the Clifts among today's actors????

I never get tired of this... great tribute with an haunting theme of a great movie called "Out of Africa".

THE BEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES FILM ETERN MONTY!!!

Like the music playing, MC was talking to you in every expression his face would show. He was not only a beautiful man but a wonderful actor... just walking in a scene and showing us the pain or joy in his face was as in his movements, loud and touching. He reminds me of Ralph Finness or RF reminds me of MC, both show so much in their face and movements. I just loved this man.

The music is haunting and so is Montgomery Clift.

Loved the music from Out of Africa! Went very well with Monty dialog/documentary

One of the most gorgeous men who ever walked the face of this Earth!

Today would have been his 100th Birthday! Before Brando and Dean there was Montgomery Clift! He left only 17 films. HIs place in the sun was brief but oh what a place it was!!! Thank you Monty for all those films.

that was beautiful.....a nice tribute to the most beautiful man ever seen on the big screen......love the, "Out of Africa" music you used....

Montgomery Clift is my favorite actor. I respect his range. Unlike Brando and Dean, he was able to surrender to his more weak and vulnerable side without still projecting an edge. Yet he was able to venture into anger and rage and be equally convincing. To me, he was the actor who brought "The Method" to the screen first and deserves more credit for that.

This is truly a touching tribute to Monty. :)

Such a lovely man, I love him so much it pains me. I wish he were with us today.

Thanks a lot not only for this classy video but also for all the information about Monty. Great score and beautiful images.

Such an amazing tribute. The song, the actor. Perfect. Monty was such a gift from God. And also John Barry.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute, to the best film soundtrack ever 💖 None, none will ever compare to Monty. Marilyn comes to mind as the female counterpart.

Heartbreaking. Beautiful.

The only Soldier can act beautifully... RIP Monty

Beautiful!!!

Thank you for this tribute!!! Monty was the greatest post war actor!!! He would be proud of this effort!!!

R.I.P Monty 😥

This is a wonderful tribute to a great actor! Outstanding!

@MontgomeryCliftFans Thank you for watching and appreciated! I agree with you!

You have just done a most beautiful job, in every way! The music, the scenes & pictures, it is all\ so GREAT, thank you so much!!!!!!!!! You are a true MONTY fan, as am I!! Just so wonderful & excellent & I thank you!!

It’s extraordinarily to think he was before Brando and Dean. It’s equally so that he self capitulated by his mid 40’s. Barely into the middle third of what should have been a long career. So many great roles to play but it wasn’t to be. The man bore his soul on the screen and that’s truly a rare thing. Missed but never forgotten. A beautiful tribute. The edit, the music, the imagery and choice of clips/videos. Well done.x

this is my favorite one about the great montygomery clift,thank you for putting this together.they don't make the great ones like that anymore.

Criminally underrated actor !!!

In summer, at times, take advantage of more free time and are reproduced old classic films. But as surely know, most of these great films, are broadcast by TV. Today it would be nice, if the movie theaters to devote a whole day to the rediscovery of these unforgettable film. Thank you!

Very nice compilation of Mr. Clift's performances.

***** WONDERFUL *****

I'm glad you liked it! I appreciate your words!

one of your best my friend!..5 stars!

Some of those color clips are from "Raintree County" which I own. Though it bombed at the time, I think it's magnificent. The change in Clift's face really isn't that noticeable. It's such a good story, Civil War days......Liz Taylor, Eva-Marie Sainte

i have tears in my eyes...thank you so much....

Thank you for making this, he deserved an academy for his role of Prewitt in From Here to Eternity, too bad Hollywood bases awards on things other than acting. There are other great ones too that have been overlooked, no wonder he didn't "play their game".

I have to say this is probably my favorite tribute to him. Such a wonderful man such a great talent.

thank you for sharing - he used to be my mother's favourite actor... :-)

No one could get into a part like Montgomery Clift, he could convey the mood of the character he was playing silently, without words, as in his portrayal of Fr. Michael Logan in "I Confess" where he was being accused of murder, and was unable to defend himself because of the seal of confession. Because of the way he was able to convey the inner struggle that Fr Logan was going through no words were needed to further explain the scene.

Beautiful. A very wonderful and moving tribute to one of the bests.

This is an outstanding tribute to an outstanding actor and sometimes troubled human being. Thank you for making such a wonderful video. It is really a pity, that the old, but top classic movies are not regularly shown on the big screen, so that every generation learns of and appreciates past great actors and movie makers.

The most attractive and one of the most talented actor in Hollywood and the World.

Great actor, and tribute to Montgomery Clift! I can’t get over how much pro-athlete/wrestler/actor Mac Daniels looks like him. Monty lived in the NE USA (NY) too. It makes you wonder if they could be related...

Thanks for sharing this. Monty remains one of the very greatest acting stars of all time. It is a darn shame that the culture he lived in was so unkind, so hypocritical and so unChristian. If Monty were alive today instead of then, it might be easier for him to live freely. He might even have married the one he loved. Monty LOVED Ella Fitzgerald's records. His biographer wrote that Monty's friends said he listened to Ella almost exclusively. I think he would have found this lovely theme too sad.

The big valley, what can i say, your tribute to monty is so WOW in every way your work is so perfect . Thanks so much . If there is any thing worth taking with me when i die it's your video

WOW =O This is an AWESOME tribute to a GREAT actor! Saw all his movies growing up in FL. He was one of my faves! I saved & faved it! Thanks for making these lovely vids! ox, Lady E

he was a good actor and a beautiful man, rest in peace, monty. gone too soon,

Thank you for the tribute and beautiful music used. Montgomery Clift was one of my first favorite actors. I loved him in Red River, The Search & From Here to Eternity. He was so good looking when he was young. Too bad he had such a painful life.

Thank you for this very moving video and tribute to such a wonderful actor. Montgomery Clift had a great gift, truly he was extraordinary in portraying emotion on the screen. Even in a western, "Red River", he is truly special; a role others would have taken a different tact, imagine for example, Robert Walker, or any other actor in the same role. Monty was George Steven's first choice for " Shane", the role ultimately going to Alan Ladd who was superb. Monty would have shined in Shane though as well. RIP Montgomery Clift.

"Before Brando"? I think not. They were contemporaries. That being said, Clift was a prime example of the fragility of star power, before and after the accident that permanently changed him, inside & out. He became a completely different actor, obviously not by choice, his vulnerability eventually consuming him. One of the great Hollywood tragedies.

The music, the pacing, everything is appropriate to the subject, one of my favorite actors. I prefer him to Brando and Dean. I don't know of anyone like him today. He's of an era that produced different kinds of people. You may be thinking I sound ancient. I'm only 46.

one of my best favourite movie star was Monty

I was just reading about what happened to him, so sad, such a waste of talent, it's such a shame, but also I feel so sorry for him... poor man...

@montyclift4ever You are too kind! Thanks and I'm glad you liked it! I'm noticing that Monty Clift is always loved! Smiles!

Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho de vcs e bonita homenagem a esse grande ator que nos deixou uma obra maravilhosa grandes filmes e grandes atuações parabéns e obrigado saudoso Montgomery clift

when I was student, I sticked on my wallet the famous picture with montgomery clift and lyz taylor holding him by the arm both loocking to horizon ( from " a place in the sun ) ... a friend ask me if it was my parents !

Un grand et talentueux acteur partit tragiquement. Un artiste comme Hollywood en a célébré . L'âge d'or Hollywood nous a offert les plus talentueuse vedettes et ces dernières ont écrit l'histoire. Les étoiles sont passées et leur film resté. Merci à eux pour ce beau cadeau.

@ Marta, You obviously have no clue of what you're talking about. Monty's acting is unbelievable, he can nail a scene with his eyes alone. A real method actor who went to great lengths to capture the feel for a character. Watch him in "Judgement at Nuremberg," perhaps the best acting I have ever seen - he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for that film for only 11+ minutes on screen - the least amount ever for a nomination. He famously turned down the lead in "East of Eden," (James Dean)"Sunset Blvd, (William Holden) "High Noon" (Gary Cooper) and others because he didn't think he was right for the parts! He was selective and could have worked more than he did. HE was amazing on Broadway as well. Fine actor, and with all due respect, you have no taste.

@gilsonde1 The memory and the love for this actor has not changed over the years. Thank you for watching!

Awesome John Barry music from Out of Africa. :) Great photos. Yes, Montgomery Clift was one of the great actors. You are his Number 1 fan. Your video is so well done!!!!

I am surprised that Hollywood has not made a movie about Montgomery Clift yet. However it would be a very difficult role to cast.

I love all the work of Montgomery Clift. No man ever won the hearts of Marilyn Monroe, as well as Elizabeth Taylor like he did. Monty lives thru me. Tyler Lord Hamilton

Sin palabras. No se puede lo maravilloso y bello que ha sido Montgomery Clift describirlo. Fue único como actor y como persona. Me cautiva y enloquece ahora y por siempre. Descansa en paz💋❤🙋‍♂️

Magnifico

Is a pleasure to have done this video! Thank you!

A face a soul

Beautifully done, Mirko!!

There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run I know there's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun. thanks for the movies, monty

Did I mention, I am mesmerized, you are most awesome & again, thanks!!

OMG what a nice montage, music and image, of one of my favorit actor of all time... probably the best ever. wow !!!

and I'm glad you liked it! I wanted to include one of the most romantic soundtracks. Thank you very much!!

Good old days...Marlon should have won the Oscar that year. The street ar named desire by Marlon, noone cant top that..His shouting Stella...

I was at a loss on how to comment for this video because it is so touching! And that gorgeous sweeping music is utterly haunting along with images of Monty. Absolutely wonderful tribute. :)

Hello Monty fans, My name is Austin Savage and I am the Artistic Director of The Border Theatre, a not-for-profit theatre company that develops original work. Next month we will be debuting a play entitled "IDOL" which is a world premiere work about an encounter in 1957 between Monty and Marlon Brando before the shooting of "The Young Lions." The play explores the relationship between the two men as well as Monty's obsession with the woman he called "Bessie Mae."(Elizabeth Taylor) In an effort to fund the production as well as the ensuing tour we are offering incentives to all supporters including behind the scenes content, copies of the script, etc. to all interested. We'd like to invite all Monty fans to attend or support the production by visiting here: facebook.com/events/184549595375012/?active_tab=about Thank you so much for your time and your love for such a brilliant artist.

I subscribed to your channel because this video is extraordinarily moving and the subject - dear, wonderful Monty Clift, so deserving.

@TheBigValley That is very sad, It saddens me that he died not being able to be his self. Anyway, i was listenig to a story on my iphone about him, and it was what caught my interest about him, He was a very beautiful looking man. Thanks for the response btw
