Montgomery's first professional stage appearance was at the age of 13 in a local theater show in Florida.  But within a few years, he began appearing regularly on Broadway in New York City.  After several favorable reviews, Hollywood wanted him, but he rejected many offers looking for just the right vehicle.  This would be a constant part of Clift's psyche, that he refused to perform in trashy productions, only seeking the very best that he thought could show his talent without typecasting him.

His article at the Encyclopedia Britannica Online states : "American motion-picture actor noted for the emotional depth and sense of vulnerability he brought to his roles. Along with Marlon Brando and James Dean, he helped delineate a new paradigm for American cinematic heroes."
