La canción He was beautiful parece escrita para presentar la belleza de Montgomery Clift.
La autora del video esSimplySullavany esta es la descripción del mismo:
One of the most talented actors of his generation, Montgomery Clift was also one of the most troubled. Dependent on alcohol and drugs, he also had to hide the fact that he was gay from the movie going public. After a horrible car accident he had numerous operations to restore his face, and he became even more addicted to alcohol and tablets. Despite- or perhaps because of- his troubled persona, Clift won the admiration of almost all his female costars. From Elisabeth Taylor to Jennifer Jones they fell in Love with him, Katharine Hepburn is said to have spit in the face of director Joseph L. Manciewicz because she thought he ill- treated Monty and Marilyn Monroe, his costar in THE MISFITS, was his troubled soul sister. Their scenes together are poignant and somehow painful to watch. Apart from stills shot during the making of that film, the photographs in this tribute come from the years preceding the accident, from a time when Montgomery Clift was not only a wonderful actor, but also more beautiful than any man should be allowed to.

MONTGOMERY CLIFT
ACTOR NORTEAMERICANO (1920 - 1966)
Su carrera comprende 17 títulos entre 1948 y 1966. Trabajó con los grandes directores (Hawks, Hitchcock, Stevens, Zinnemann, Kazan, Huston, Wyler) y las grandes estrellas (Lancaster, Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn, Brando, Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor especialmente) de entonces.
Encarnaba personajes atormentados, románticos y sensibles fijando el prototipo de rebeldía de los 50 que luego seguirían Dean, Brando y la generación de los 60 (MacQueen, Pacino). Aunque se le considera cofundador del Actor Studio's, su estilo interpretativo era en ocasiones heterodoxo, radicando su fuerza en la mirada, que proyectaba más allá de la pantalla.
Su vida personal fue tormentosa y conflictiva debido a su extremada sensibilidad y a los problemas de salud que acarrearon sus adicciones además de una homosexualidad que le costó asumir.
Dotado de una gran belleza, sufrió un aparatoso accidente de coche y experimentó el llamado "suicidio más lento" que haya visto Hollywood.
"De aquí a la eternidad" es su película más representativa. Fue nominado 4 veces a los Oscar.
