Unfortunately, everytime I saw Monty Clift, I kept seeing...

well they both have the deep eyes and high cheekbones, and dark hair, with thick brows. The sensitive, "pretty" look, or at least when Tom Cruise was younger in his saner days.
But today's nutcase Tom Cruise would never play Monty Clift, because he was bisexual.

Monty Clift is my favorite actor of all time, I never think of any other actor when I'm watching him because he is so uniquely Monty Clift!


"the best that you can do is fall in love"

Well said, lesley6464.

I can see how he resembles Tom Cruise and even Dennis Hopper, but I think he looks an awful lot like Daniel Day Lewis. I didn't notice it though-probably cause their personities are different.

I totally agree with you Electric-Eyes, When I watch his films, - before his terrible car crash, that changed his face completely- I cannot take my eyes off of him. Tom may have been"cute" when he was younger, but Montgomery Clift - WOW! I'm finding it really tough to come up with any OTHER word to describe him except " beautiful".

I kept thinking of Cruise and Frank Sinatra of all people with his lean hungry look. I think this is the best Clift looked in a movie and his acting was a blueprint for James Dean and all the actors of that type to follow.

There's nothing for you here so move along please!

jeez i dont see cruise at all. Actin wise monty is sails over him.

I see a little guy from nip/tuck albeit he is a bigger man

I was watching one of Dave Franco's movies and I was thinking the same thing.I thought maybe Im the only one who thinks Franco looks like Monty.But Dave is isnt that tall.Hes about 5'6 and his eyes arent blue.
Nutty Cruise looked like Montgomery in his early mivies like Color of Money.
