Montgomery Clift de vacaciones en Cuba (1950)
Es de esas sorpresas con las que te encuentras y que disfrutas enormemente con ella. A las fotos inéditas de Montgomery Clift se une este video casi casero de sus vacaciones, lejos de los estudios, vemos a Montgomery Clift disfrutar de sus viajes por el extranjero (en varias ocasiones bajó a Cuba a tomar el sol e compañía de Libby Holman), es el Monty más espontáneo (que ya de por sí lo era) pero sobre todo más despreocupado y relajado.
Por último, siempre que veo este video, aparte de fijarme en lo sonriente y afable que se muestra Monty, muy sencillo, abrumado por la acogida y bromeando en la aduana, me llama la atención ese tipo del bigotito que masca chicle y no hace más que dar palmadas al hombro a Monty y sonríe de una manera que me parece siniestra.
Hace 60 años.

Montgomery Clift participa en el concurso televisivo What's My Line?
En 1963, Monty Clift vivía semirrecluido en Nueva York y llevaba 2 años y medio sin rodar. En Hollywood le consideraban ya acabado y físicamente estaba muy deteriorado, de hecho presentaba una pronunciada calvicie en la coronilla, que no se notaba en las películas pero aquí es la primera vez que se le ve.
En la esta web se recogen los datos del programa:
El programa se emitió el 20 de enero de 1963, es decir, tal día como hoy (hace 47 años) y era el programa nº 648. Montgomery Clift era el "invitado misterioso".
Game 1: Andy Robustelli (b. 12/8/1925) - "Imports Dolls" (self-employed; Andy is also the Coach, Player and Co-Captain the NY Giants Football team. The panel must guess his secondary occupation of importing and selling bobblehead dolls patterned after the characters in the comic strip Peanuts, which was created by Charles Schulz. The dolls are sold under the company name of - what sounded like - Robustelli, Dodake and Unsworth.)
Game 2: Mrs. Dinah Thetford - "Television Director" (salaried; in the United Kingdom, she works for Associated TeleVision Limited as the director of the British equivalent of "To Tell The Truth" and other programs; she stated that American panel shows are better than British panel shows; from London, England)
Game 3: Montgomery Clift (10/17/1920 - 7/23/1966) (as Mystery Guest)
Game 4: Chet Gross - "President of Rubber Band Company" (self-employed; he is the President of Merit Supreme Rubber Bands; from Alliance, OH)
Aired January, 1963. Arlene Francis, Peter Cook, Dorothy Kilgallen, and Bennett Cerf. Challengers are a doll importer, a television director, and the president of a rubber band company. Mystery guest is Montgomery Clift. (WKEND-3/20150)

Montgomery Clift: Man of great refinement
(English text)
Rich in culture, charm, humanity and talent. There are many Montgomery Clift's qualities that can be listed. Born in Nebraska in 1920, revealed early adolescence remarkable artistic gifts that he had occasion to express in the theater. California who watched carefully the actors who came from New York did not hesitate to contact Clift to propose auditions. Montgomery Clift reluctantly accepted. He did not like a genius California and preferred to return to New York. The first film role he accepted after much hesitation was that of (Matthew Garth) in Red River directed by Howard Hawks, where he was confronted with the great John Wayne. The success was The Search, which came out in theaters a few months before the Red River and this is considered the first appearance on the screens of Monty. From this point on begins the success that led him to work for great directors like Fred Zinnemann, George Stevens, Alfred Hitchcock, Vittorio De Sica. Of his 17 films in addition to those already mentioned it is worth remembering From Here to Eternity, A place in the sun, I confess, The Misfits, Judgement at Nuremberg, Freud. But despite the success, the admiration for him and comfort, the life of Monty will be a succession of difficult moments alternated with brief periods of happiness. Painful and leave marks on the life of this actor is unfortunately the car accident occurred in 1956, and gave him a facial surgery. Monty's life will change forever, but with the help of a few trusted friends (including a principal role will the Elizabeth Taylor) will be made less harsh and heavy. I wanted to put together Monty Clift, James Dean and Marlon Brando for the way they have revolutionized the art of acting. All three introspective and all three came from the famous school in New York (the Actors Studio) But compared to Brando and Dean, Monty began some years before in the movies and had lots of experience with theater. Montgomery Clift died in a summer day in July 1966 of a heart attack. A few months later would have to begin working in Reflections in a Golden Eye. Character who was later given to Marlon Brando. Leaves a great legacy to all new generations of actors. The music is from the film Out of Africa composed by John Barry. The films included in the video are: The Search, Red River, The Heiress, A place in the sun, Indiscretion of an American wife, I Confess, From here to eternity, Raintree County, Lonelyhearts, The Misfits, Judgement at Nuremberg.

Montgomey Clift Portraits
Montgomery Clift Portraits
por About MC
Este es el video que he preparado para hoy 23 de julio. Una amplia colección de fotos de Montgomery Clift a lo largo de su vida y carrera interpretativa. La he titulado precisamente Portraits porque todas tienen como común denominador que sólo aparece él. Hay fotos personales, foogramas y algunas han sido retocadas para no mostrar a nadie más. Encontraréis fotos muy poco conocidas, algunas ya las había puesto en el blog pero la mayoría estaban sin mostrar.
En Youtube he tenido problemas de copyright con el sonido y como no quiero cambiar de música (si se fijan cada foto sigue la letra de la canción), lo he subido en DailyMotion donde afortunadmente no he tenido problemas, aunque sea una web menos conocida.
Espero que os guste. Os dejo un enlace con la letra de la canción.
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.

Say, where did I see this guy?
In red river?
Or a place in the sun?
Maybe the misfits?
Or from here to eternity?
Everybody say, is he all right?
And everybody say, whats he like?
Everybody say, he sure looks funny.
Thats...Montgomery Clift, honey!
New York, New York, New York, 42nd street
Hustlers rustle and pimps pimp the beat
Monty Clift is recognized at dawn
He aint got no shoes and his clothes are torn
I see a car smashed at night
Cut the applause and dim the light
Monty's face is broken on a wheel
Is he alive? can he still feel?
Everybody say, is he all right?
And everybody say, whats he like?
Everybody say, he sure looks funny.
Thats...Montgomery Clift, honey!
Nembutol numbs it all
But I prefer alcohol
He said go out and get me my old movie stills
Go out and get me another roll of pills
There I go again shaking, but I aint got the chills
