Lunch Break Video: Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift so young and beautiful in “A Place in the Sun”
Could Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift been more beautiful when they starred together in the 1951 classic A Place in the Sun?
Directed by George Stevens, the film was based on the novel An American Tragedy and starred Clift as a working class young man who is entangled with two women, one who works in his wealthy uncle’s factory (Shelly Winters) and the other a beautiful socialite (Taylor).
In this scene, Clift is torn because he has gotten the factory girl pregnant but he is besotted with the socialite who he doesn’t want to lose. This pair had some serious chemistry and it is largely due, I’m sure, to the off-screen closeness of Taylor and Clift.
Even back then, Miss Taylor was a gay man’s best friend!

Since a child I thought Montgomery Clift was such a handsome guy. Well, I didn’t know his name. With time I was sad to know that he had a short life due to sequels of a horrible accident, and even sadder that a director taunted him with verbal abuse afterwards. I guess if he was alive today he could have lived a normal life as a gay or bi. So much silent injustices passed by. So brave from Liz to take the right instance when nobody dared.
