mercurial


“Monty never stopped. Never stopped talking or drinking. He was always in motion, performing little jigs, mimicking stories, curling his body around chairs. He seemed innately charming, ludicrous, disagreeable, shifting, teetering into his own little abyss.”

- Maria Schell recalling Montgomery Clift’s quirks.

i love actress maria schell. like julie christie she is very poetic onscreen. this may be the most relatable photo of montgomery i've ever seen.
