Montgomery Clift - Zappo

Description : He often played outsiders and "victim-heroes"; examples include the social climber in George Stevens's A Place in the Sun, the anguished Catholic priest in Hitchcock's I Confess, the doomed regular soldier Robert E. Lee Prewitt in Fred Zinnemann's From Here to Eternity, and the Jewish GI bullied by antisemites in Edward Dmytryk's The Young Lions. Later, after a disfiguring car crash in 1956, and alcohol and prescription drug abuse, he became erratic. Nevertheless, he continued his acting career, playing such parts as "the reckless, alcoholic, mother-fixated rodeo performer" in John Huston's The Misfits, the title role in Huston's Freud, and the concentration camp victim in Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg.

Yes! This has it all! That sax is flaming. Those brushes on the kit is the cherry on the top. You brought that sax front and center@2:40. Really good work.

This is a fabulous jazz piece! I really love the tone of all the instruments! Those vocals are something special too! I used to watch quite a few old movies, but I don't know if I've seen many of the ones you speak of. You done a great job with your hats off to a fine actor! That solo around 2:45 is just amazing! A very stylish composition, you've done it again! Faved for sure!

Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
And everybody say, "What's he like?"
And everybody say, "He sure look funny."
That's...Montgomery Clift, honey!
