The museum presents the Pittsburgh debut of this 2018 documentary film about actor Montgomery Clift (1920-1966).

Known for bucking traditions on and off screen, countless biographies have reduced Clift to labels like “tragically self-destructive” and “tormented” because of his fluid sexuality. Now, directors Robert Clift — Montgomery’s nephew — and Hillary Demmon rigorously re-examine these flawed narratives through the eyes of those who knew him.

Drawing on interviews with family and loved ones (as well as a rich collection of unreleased archival materials from both Montgomery and his brother, Brooks Clift) this fresh portrait of the actor’s passions, contributions and commitment to living and working in his own way gives one of Hollywood’s under-appreciated legends his due.

Following the screening, filmmakers Clift and Demmon will participate in a question & answer session.
