SERIES DESCRIPTION

The prototype for the handsome, brooding leading man later embodied by James Dean and Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift’s sensitive and soulful screen persona redefined masculinity in the 1950s and brought method acting into vogue. Though his tragic career—marked by a disfiguring car accident, struggle with alcoholism, and untimely death at age 45—has become the stuff of Hollywood legend, Clift’s stunningly modern, emotionally layered performances only resonate more with time.

The face that launched a thousand Method thesps, Montgomery Clift is best remembered as the determined American dreamer who reaches up the social ladder, ever hopeful, for Liz Taylor in A Place in the Sun. With an uncanny mixture of silk and sulk, Clift left a handful of indelible performances before his untimely death in 1966. At the opposite ends of his meteoric rise and demise, there are must-see rivers: first came Howard Hawks' Red River and his oedipal clash with John Wayne, then Elia Kazan's 1960 beaut, Wild River. And let's not forget his sad-eyed turn as the ex-boxer in WWII staple From Here to Eternity.
