Description de l'ouvrage:
Post World War II America saw a return to prosperity and the rise of a significant youth-culture. Television began to replace movies as the chief source of entertainment for the general public, and adolescents and single young adults began to constitute the largest portion of the audience for movies. With his youthful appearance, Montgomery Clift held special appeal to this new market, and he became one of the foremost American actors of his time. This book details his many performances.
The introductory biography offers a succinct summary of Clift's life and the forces that shaped his work. The chapters that follow contain annotated entries for all of his work in plays, films, radio, and television. Entries present plot summaries, cast and credit information, critical analyses, and excerpts from reviews. The book gives equal attention to his lesser-known films and stage career, as to his most memorable performances. An extensive annotated bibliography cites and evaluates books, articles, and miscellaneous sources of information about Clift and includes fictional works in which he appears as a character.

Revue de Presse:
"The millions of Montgomery Clift fans will welcome this book. All important bits of information are included, including a nice group of pictures showing Clift in various roles. The book must be included in all reference shelves containing info on the significant actor."-Journal of Popular Culture
"This reference work is intended to document Clift's life and career and thereby supplement the information in existing full-scale biographies. Postwar Hollywood's focus on youth and introspection was effectively expressed by Clift. His career is not only an important part of the history of cinema in the United States but also mirrored the changing attitudes of film audiences of that era."-ARBA 95
