Montgomery Clift was one of the greatest screen actors the world has ever seen. You'll never catch him making a single effort to act!

I hope the film does NOT ignore Montgomery Cliff's homosexuality, this was a central part of his pain his secret. Elizabeth Taylor said Cliff struggled with his sexuality. The biopic MUST explore Cliff being gay it is a central part of his story. I am happy for Matt Bomer this could be his breakthrough role. It is also nice a gay man being the lead in a biopic about another gay man.

Clift had an absolutely fascinating (ly awful) life. Patricia Bosworth wrote a terrific biography which I highly recommend.

Agree Bomer looks the part but if only this had been done in the 80s with Mark Harmon. He was the spit of Clift when he was younger.

Clift was great–my favorite actor from that era. It will be interesting to see who plays Elizabeth Taylor. And yes, I've admired Bomer's openness about being gay and I'm glad he is getting the chance for this.

finally gay man gets to play gay man in a movie. also, I haven's seen much from Bomer but I'm glad he's getting a role in a movie. he has the look of a leading man. and he's especially well cast for this. and Clift deserves biopic treatment. I just hope it's good, because it can be, considering Clift's life.

Elizabeth Taylor was not in the car with him when he had the accident. It happened as he was leaving her house. She found him after the wreck, crawled in the wreck, got the teeth out of his throat, saving his life, and then told the photographers who had by now assembled that if they took a single photo of Monty's disfigured face, she'd see to it that they never worked again. And not a single photo was taken. Quite a dame:)

This is the second use of the word icon or iconic in two IW readings. Why are people constantly throwing this word around. I like Clift but how was he "iconic"? The same with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss being called an "icon." I like how as an actress but as her performances really been iconic?
