Montgomery Clift

^ Oh, those are wonderful pictures! (Love the one with him and all the women, heh heh. ^^) I'm sad this thread keeps getting buried, Monty was one of the greatest actors ever, imo.
Anyhoo, I made 300
innocent screencaps of A Place in the Sun here.
Teasers:
Monty is utterly beautiful in the movie, not to mention he's just an absolute phenomenon in this role. One of the best performances I've ever seen.

just some random info...
Joe Strummer, singer of The Clash, borrowed a book about Clift from a friend, and was inspired to write a song about him.
It´s called The Right Profile
And here it is:

and the lyrics:
hey- where have I seen this guy?
in Red River?
or A Place in the Sun?
maybe The Misfits?
or From Here To Eternity?
and everybody says "is he alright?"
and everybody says "What's he like?"
and everybody says "sure looks funny"
that's Montgomery Clift, honey
New York, New York, 42nd Street
hustlers rustle and pimps pimp the beat
Monty Clift is recognized at dawn
he ain't got no shoes and his clothes are torn
and everybody says "is he alright?"
and everybody says "What's he like?"
and everybody says "sure looks funny"
that's Montgomery Clift, honey
I see a car smashed at night
cut the applause and dim the lights
Monty's face is broken on a wheel
is he alive? Can he still feel?
and everybody says "is he alright?"
and everybody says "What's he like?"
and everybody says "sure looks funny"
that's Montgomery Clift, honey
(solo)
and everybody says "is he alright?"
and everybody says "What's he like?"
and everybody says "sure looks funny"
that's Montgomery Clift, honey
Nembutol
numbs it all
but I prefer
alcohol...
(sax solo)
and everybody says "is he alright?"
and everybody says "What's he like?"
and everybody says "sure looks funny"
that's Montgomery Clift, honey
He said "go out and get me my old movie stills
Go out and get me another roll of bills
There I go again shaking but I ain't got the chills
ARRRGHHHGORRA BUH BHUH DO ARRRRGGGGHHHHNNNN!!!!..."

Aww you're welcome, so glad you like them!OMG those are gorgeous screencaps!
It seriously was a pleasure - Monty and Elizabeth together in such a beautiful, poignant film - it haunts me for days every time I see it! And talk about the most beautiful cinematography, with those creamy close-ups and dissolving scene transitions... guh. Anyhoo, Little Monty
