Marvelous Montgomery Clift

Marguerite Duras on WILD RIVER (1960), Cahiers du Cinéma n°318, December 1980: "The love story between Lee Remick and Montgomery Clift is among the greatest ever filmed. Perhaps it is the greatest—it has a chance to be the most beautiful."

“The actors are my co-creators. A good actor will sometimes have some wonderful ideas.” was reminded of this clip from another interview and just laughed out loud

The marvelous birthday boy Montgomery Clift, who turned squirming in one’s seat into performance art.

I’m sure that watching Montgomery Clift in The search was a revelation. His disarming naturalness, his innate grace, the deep emotions he channeled… A new, electrifying kind of actor whom I loved in A place in the sun, From here to eternity, Suddenly, last summer, Wild river…

Remembering Montgomery Clift on his birthday (October 17, 1920 - July 23, 1966). "The only line I know of that’s wrong in Shakespeare is ‘Holding a mirror up to nature.’ You hold the magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with a situation. If it were a mirror we would have no art." — Montgomery Clift interviewed for The Making of the Misfits by James Goode, published in 1963 Pictured: The Heiress (1949), A Place in the Sun (1951), The Young Lions (1958), The Misfits (1961).
