I'm not sure that seeing Montgomery Clift's head on your pillow would lead to a night of mad passion. Nor Rock Hudson's. But Montgomery and Rock might have had a n.o.m.p together - if you get my drift. LOL

Montgomery who????

Ah.......you youngsters!! Montgomery Clift was an old time actor (although it doesn't seem that 'old time' to me). He was in the time of Stewart Granger, Robert Taylor, Randolph Scott and others, whose good looks would have knocked the socks off most present day actors.

Sorry Faye but I don't know any of those actors you mentioned in your last post. Yet I know actors such Carey Grant, Rock Hudson who would be of the same sort of era, wouldn't they? If anyone is allowed to slip their shoes under my bed (although I'm not sure that they would make it that far through the house ) it would be Brian Ferry. Aah! sigh!!!

Yes.. and I am also inclined to forget that not everyone on here is as long in the tooth as I am either! In a way, it is a shame you youngsters missed out on the era of such handsome, romantic, and chivalrous men who as my old pal Faye has already said, would've knocked the socks off most of the present day actors...
Gosh Faye, after being reminded of Monty by that old movie recently, I googled him, and discovered that he was only 45 when he died in 1966. And yes, you were right about his sexuality, for in spite of being surrounded by beautiful women , as I understood it on Wikipedia, he liked to keep a poker in both fires it seems and was still single when he died .
I remember him in " Raintree County " and also in one called " I Confess " where he played a priest. I remember that one particularly because we were told by the Nuns that it would be sinful to go to that movie, and they said it should be banned. That of course made us want to go all the more . I learned a lot from those Nuns. You want the kids to do something or become interested in something ? Just ban it and something, and the kids want to find out all about it. I think they call it phsycology these days.
However, I never did learn why it was that they thought it should have been off limits for us good young Catholic damsels. For many, many years afterwards I puzzled over that because it was based on the story of a priest who had had a terrible crime confessed to him, and how because of the oaths he had made, he could not divulge this sin to anyone else. It portrayed the priest and the Catholic church as they were and how it should have been portrayed. It was one of Alfred Hitchcock 's earlier productions.
While more handsome than any priest I have ever come across, Monty played the part very well and I haven't a clue why our esteemed Rev. Mother thought it was such a bad thing !. I think they liked to scare us. My girlfriend and I confess to waiting for the skies to fall down on our heads for days after we went to that movie.

Then there was Richard Chamberlain, still alive, still as gorgeous and still as unnavaiable if you know what my drift is too Faye.. sigh he sure ages well.. Like Cary Grant, Is he still alive I wonder. They were actors for sure.But Marlon Brando in the young times brought in the new actor.style of more realism. .
