I find it amazing how people either ignore the fact that Montgomery Clift was gay, he wasn't bisexual people, he was gay!or just pretend to not to comment on how he was crucified by Hollywood. The fact that he never won an Academy Award especially for this performance, I mean William Holden won for Stalig 17? Everyone knew he was a Homosexual, including the Academy which voted. This is one of the great injustices of Academy history. Elizabeth Taylor has commented repeatedly on how he was tormented in Hollywood, this was normal for someone who was known to be Homosexual, in Hollywood, in schools, everywhere it was and still is pernicious , but not as much as it was before. How can anyone watch a movie with Monty in it w/out, commenting on his lifelong addiction to achohol, and drugs, that eventually killed him? Still Monty is a hero to me, cause he had more courage, and integrity than most gay actors who today live in the closet, and are fearful of the repercussions to their career if they were exposed. Monty was one of the greatest actors , and was an A-list star at this time, and they knew he was gay.Look at what he accomplished. Look at Hollywood today, and recognize his achievement, it is actually quite sad, how closeted it still is...
