Montgomery Clift: Troubled but truly talented.
A tribute to an actor who hasn't received his due, Montgomery Clift played a major role in redefining acting in America. Rather selective with his film choices, Clift preferred the theatre over any other medium. His latter years were marred by a life-changing road accident and his own inner demons but still delivered some outstanding performances.
