About this film

Montgomery Clift stands as one of the most influential actors in cinema history whose story has been reduced to a series of tropes through years of under-researched biographies that eventually wove the fabric of a mythic Hollywood narrative. Directed by Clift's nephew, Robert Clift, and Hillary Demmon, and featuring exclusive archival footage, MAKING MONTGOMERY CLIFT is as much an attempt to set the record straight about this classic cinema icon as it is a study of how false narratives are constructed around celebrities.
