Voilà c'est sûrement cette image que tous ces fans comme moi garderont de lui, cette scène est un pur drame et le moment le plus douloureux du film, bye bye Monty God bless you !

[jimidee33]

Superman! George Reeves is in this scene and had a number of small roles back in the day. Monty was a very gifted actor. One of the best, and certainly in the top two or three method actors. Great actor and as handsome as they come. I like this movie but my favorite movie featuring Monty is a "Place In The Sun" with Elizabeth Taylor. Lordy, what a pair! They heated up the screen big time!

[irvykinneas]

wow

[josette4231]

Happy Birthday Montgomery Clifft.He stayed in the Roosevelt Hotel. Some guess can hear him playing this tune. I loved your cute little bushy eye browes.

[andreas405]

super Musik ,super Schauspieler, super Film = Klassiker einfach Genial

[TheKristobald]

I love you Monty !

[joeasmythe]

Cindy Cindy Cindy Lu,

I love my rifle more than you.

You used to be my only fun,

Now I love my Garand M1

[archer1949]

Holy crap, I LOVE this movie!

[johnwayneisamazing]

The kiss seen is what is most remembered from this film but Clift was the main character and shoulve won best actor

[joeasmythe]

Never fails to bring a tear to my eye, we owe the men at Pearl Harbor so much.

[zipper179]

For those bellyaching whether or not, Montgomery Clift is really playing the bugle; they have a name for those people in the movie.. They're called ACTORS..!

It's also a movie; so, cut us a break! Ok, fellas..?

[zipper179]

@bullfrog11758 Agreed.. The trouble was, that both, Burt Lancaster AND Montgomery Clift, were nominated in the same picture, canceling each other out.. That happened, with Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, for 'MIDNIGHT COWBOY'..

[SpockLover27]

May I ask why he is crying?

[screig]

@SpockLover27 in the film, his friend has just been beaten to death

[SpockLover27]

@screig Omg, that's so horrible. :'( WHY!?

[SpockLover27]

OMG! It's Burt Lancaster! <3

[Montecristo1789]

Robert E. Lee Prewitt!!!!!!!!!!youre the best!!!

[deriter64]

Oh my, some movies just do,

[vsica2]

Fantastica la secuencia de la película From here to eternity una maravilla de interpretación de Montgomery clilf injustamente no se llevo el oscar, pero si Frank Sinatra se lo llevo y se lo merece una muy buena interpretación.Madrid España

[Rory99M]

Great video thanks for putting it up, but just for the sake of it he's playing a flugelhorn rather than a trumpet, at least thats what he said in the movie if I remember correctly

[GNPSTL]

This has always been my favorite movie...and this scene is special to me because I was in the military for 26 years. I spent 2 tours in Vietnam and 7 years total in Southeast Asia. "Taps" has a special meaning to a GI and this is the most beautiful rendition I have ever heard. By the way the sound you hear is not a Bugle but a Trumpet played by the master of the trumpet "Harry James". 

[finnemccool]

@TheReverendRaver Clift was a troubled man, for sure. Drugs and alcohol got the better of him. But he was a great actor, one of the best.

[adsones]

Such a beautiful scene!

[acinemajunkie]

Ironically he was rejected from military service during WW2 because of allergies and colitis...

[Cleon29Warrior]

Monty Clift is the man.

[unclebobunclebob]

I love the fact he has his own mouthpiece.

[cliftprewitt]

I love him..

[omarskats3000]

♥ that was so hot :D

[CrazyLudwig89]

One of the most poignant movie moments ever...

[MontgomeryCliftFans]

Monty is perfect. I love him so much <3

[magyarwho]

Monty is the best actor ever. Even legends like James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor said that he's the best! I love Monty.

[Friesenmicha]

Ich kenne den Film DANKE dafür

[Quelle68]

einfach nur schön, das gibts heut glaube ich nicht mehr, sehr schade.

[roxor1080]

The legendary Spencer Tracy said about Clift "He makes most of today's young players look like bums." 

[zipper179]

@roxor1080 Coming from Spencer Tracy, that says a lot..!

[gilsonde1]

@skin1912 so what. isn't that what acting is all about?

[6615tom1]

greatest version of taps ever

[joeasmythe]

All our heroes at Arlington will rest in peace forever. This video is a tribute to their bravery.

[carryhatton39]

@skin1912 Next you'll be saying there's no santa claus and that global warming is a hoax and that al gore made all those millions selling carbon credits while laughing it up in a gazillion cubic foot mansion at the rubes who bought it with a carbon footprint the size of paraguay.

[TheUnknown1012]

@skin1912 ~Yeah, why even look at the clip and comment? What a goof, do you comment negatively everywhere else as well?

[TheGhostory]

a great wartime movie with a host of well known actors of hollywood at their best not to mention a cameo part of george reeves a.k.a. tv's 1950's superman.monty is at the peak of his fame here.the only one i can think of whom is still around is ernest borgnine.they don't make movies as they used to...

[Starfighterking]

Montgomery Clift is one of the best American Actor of all Time.

[SpiderMack89]

@Starfighterking That´s what someone should have said on the delivery of 1953 Best Actor Academy Award

[ray321123]

Simply one word " Breathless"

[ivrunini]

absurdité et grandeur...Personnage seul poursuivi par la bétise qui va décider de son destin:

[Ken4Pyro]

@skin1912 : You're right! He wasn't blowing the bugle at all! Wow, I bet he wasn't actually stabbed later on in the movie, or shot to death either! And since Ernie Borgnine is still alive he didn't stab him to death in an alley fight, so this movie is just chock full of lies. I've also got it on pretty good authority that Burt Lancaster didn't shoot down a Japanese plane on 12/07/41, but I'm still doing research on that. I'll get back to you when I figure it all out.

[yamsid]

This movie was available on the net and has been deleted. What a piss off. I own 500 plus DVDs and a bunch of obsolete VHS tapes so I've paid my dues. Not only that but any royalties from films like this would not get to any actors, writers, directors, etc but just go for bloated executive salaries. I'm reminded of the Edison company sending thugs after independent film makers or electrocuting elephants to combat Tesla's superior system of electricity.

[pokergalpoker]

@skin1912 this scene is probably one of the most touching moments in hollywood history and i'll never understand why you thought you had to write your comment. Whether he played the bugle or not or did or didn't shed a real tear as you say, it's completely pointless. You obviously do not understand the intensity of this scene and what it meant to the entire movie. Your comments I understand represent freedom of speech, but, it was a waste of your time to type it in my opinion.

[yamsid]

@pokergalpoker Good for you. "one of the most touching moments in Hollywood history" is a fair comment about a great scene in a great movie. I read the book long, long ago before I saw the film and thought then and still think it was beautifully cast although in those days no film could be as gritty as the book.

[sexymama1966]

good part...themovie was on here and this part was silenced..thanks for uploading

[tinyrehearsals]

fyi it's a bugle

[daughterrevolution]

Happy Memorial Day. Thanks forever to our soldiers who keep us free.

[jaquino001]

One of my favorites. There are websites with their bios.

[jaquino001]

One of my favorite movies. 

[bonchatbonrat]

Holy hell, was he handsome.

[cbgflygirl]

He learned to play the beagul for the movie. He did a very good job. I in truth would have given the acdemy award to Montgomery Clift if it had been up to me. But then again I was born long after this was made. I'm not sure even if my parents were around yet. But this is a very touching scene. One of my favorites in the movie.

[whimsicalcharm1]

This scene breaks my heart, Monty is such a powerhouse of emotion, without ever being over the top.

[jumpyourbone]

oh my god what a gorgeous guy

[Crassenstein]

kann sich noch einer von euch lümmeln daran erinnern, wie wir einen tag vor den sommerferien 1965 aus dem waschraum zu unserem trompeter guckten.

[progressiverebel]

I always liked Schofield Barracks. I never served there but I always wanted to. This is a wonderful scene. James Jones did straight duty in the Army His book on WWII is a classic. The old Army of 1939 1940/1941 is gone. Reading the book always gave me a different perspective on the value of life.You cannot really understand this era, without knowing what life was like. Great acting, Heres the men of Tropic Lightning.25th Infantry activated 1 Oct 1941 at Schofield Barracks. We remember...

[viewstew]

You've got to smile a bit at the very end of this scene...after the beautiful way "Taps" is played, Prewitt hands the bugle back to the regular bugler...who looks down at his bugle as if to say "I never knew it could sound like that"...kudos to that actor, as he manages to convey just how special this rendition of "Taps" is. One of the top ten scenes ever in a film

[Montecristo1789]

Wonderfull Prew, regards from yours friends of Mexico

[kahakai67la]

wow monty, wow

[nephelais]

it seems that Clift really played it (not maybe this scene, maybe only audio). It's not credited, however. I read it, it's not an idea of mine

[hookalakah]

Great movie, even though Monty couldn't mime playing a bugle and he never learned to throw a punch.

[teller121]

Did you know that his not being able to throw a punch was kind of the reason that Aldo Ray was wanted for the role. He had the whole look and the edginess but he was kind of an unknown at that time (and never was the actor Clift was anyway). Sure would have been nice for Ray's career if he had gotten it and pulled it off. If he had not pulled it off, one of the greatest flicks of all time would have suffered. I have to say he sure would have looked better slugging it out with the a.h. sgt.

[Mimse79]

This scene, the way the instrument is played, was a total and absolute highpoint for me in the film - I've never heard it played like that before. It's stuck in my memory for years now. What a treat....

[steve01226]

I wonder if he really did play that trumpet because if he did god that was brilliant

[billga2007]

Just read it was realy dubbed in by Manny Klein .

[ultrakool]

stretched lips from smoking poles = great bugling

[violet337]

the most beautiful body and soul of the earth

[Gretchluver1]

I've only seen 2 comments about this, but it's not a trumpet. it's a bugle.

[JONROSE44]

Beautiful....Montgomery Clift is beautiful in this scene......

[joeasmythe]

Please honor our fallen troops who gave their lives to protect the American way of life. Don't let them turn us into another socialist country......................

[trumpetmike1]

ok so turn down your social security and medicare

[joeasmythe]

A tribute to my buddies who gave their lives for us. Rest easy guys.

[vizares]

where are those movies and those actors today?

[danjosimo3000]

Basically all dead. You can buy the movie from any good retailer to be honest. It's a classic.

[vizares]

i have it...:)this is a real classic as you sad and have bought most of them...

[grabit1]

Yes, and the book itself a raw masterpiece. One of the rare times where the movie understandably couldn't be the same as the book, but the author understood. James Jones in fact helped write "Reinlistment Blues" for the movie.

[teller121]

Further gone than you realize my friend. America of the 1950s, as strange as it seems, had more in common with the America in the 1850s than it does today...or even the 70s. The 60s was the pivot point. It was a revolution more important than the 1770s but people don't quite yet realize it.

[irish89055]

@vizares Earnest is still alive and kickin at 90 something....most of the others are gone...great, great movie.. I think you ask a rhetorical question that needs an answer,...

[Jazzbard]

@vizares

Dead, but I agree, we need this back.

[iTellyoueveryting]

@vizares Coming from an actor quite honestly the material isn't there (I wish it was) because people want to make money showing explosions and T&A, we make lots of money just to be 'sexy' and quite frankly if this movie were in theatre today it would do terribly. I saw black swan opening night at a large theatre and there were 20 people in the theatre. People just want to see crap now a days but if you see a movie with integrity PLEASE go to the theatre to see it.

[vizares]

@iTellyoueveryting thanks for your comment.i absolutely agry with you.btw...was balck swan good?

[iTellyoueveryting]

@vizares Black Swan was great, I highly recommend you seeing it and going into it with an open mind.

[vizares]

@iTellyoueveryting i saw black swam yesterday....i LOVED IT!Best movie in a long time!

[jonathansanford]

@vizares "black swam"

[soccergoalkeeper1]

@vizares

Montgomery Clift died in 1966 of a heart attack.

[RespectDiCaprio]

Monty is amazing, I love him so much. Just the greatest actor and such a tragic soul. It's heartbreaking that such a wonderful and gentle person like Monty had to deal with such tragedy and demons in his life. RIP

[Molokolittle]

I totally agree with you. I'm a film scholar and I'm writing on Montgomery Clift now. He was amazing and beautiful.

[leafyutube]

They should play this at weddings too.

[xadamryanx]

LOL

[GEVMM]

This scene is one of the greatest treasures in cinema history.

[matraquilla]

Dedicado a todos los que murieron por la libertad...

[buutzemann]

that is one of the absolutely best scenes in the  whole cinema history. it really is for eternity.

[nonocat76]

All were great in From here to eternity, but nobody come near Burt Lancaster.

[lexlib]

yes there is. his name is montgomery clift. i once read that lancaster was so intimidated by clift that they never got along at all.

[gilsonde1]

@nonocat76 Burt had too much ego. Humility would have helped him a lot. I don't agree.

[friends1182004]

What's the name of song?

[HoustonTrumpet]

This is the bugle call, "Taps", which was composed by the Union Army Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield, who commanded 3rd Bgd, 1st Div in the V Corps of the Army of the Potomac. Butterfield wrote the tune at Harrison's Landing, Virginia, 1862 after a bloody battle in which his division suffered severe losses.

[wlhardy]

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies. Monty was "coached" by a trumpeter who showed him what to do to make his "playing" look authentic. A depressing movie but a great one!

[joeasmythe]

The creeps in Congress should have to watch this. Maybe then they would appreciate our troops, not denigrate them.

[dbdwoods]

Sss cool

Never understood it was endearing, but do respect the feeling it engenders in so many people.

DbD

[joeasmythe]

Safely rest, soldier brave, G-d is nigh.......

To all our troops who gave their lives for our country. Rest in peace.

[cosmicdingo]

That's George "Superman" Reeves as a Staff Sgt. in the first shot. When his part was cut due to test screenings, he felt he was hopelessly typecast, and committed suicide (or was murdered) some years later.

[gilsonde1]

@cosmicdingo Maybe research this some more.

Get your facts straight about Reeves & his life as Superman

[whitefalcon64]

My favourite scene, along with the bar cornet solo

[renew2day]

Frank Sinatra gave Montgomery Clift credit for his, Frank's, oscar-winning performance.

Monty not only coached Frank Sinatra, but he also helped Donna Reed with her part. Miss Reed also won the oscar for supporting.

Deborah Kerr's role was first offered to Joan Crawford, who wasn't satisfied with it.

[stickvalve]

Mannie Klein is the one playing for the soundtrack. He also spent some time coaching Montgomery Cliff on how to play the trumpet so it would look good.

[Knightofne543]

Definitely a great film moment, but that's a bugle rather than a trumpet.

[julielvsliason]

He's really got "it". He is a very appealing person to watch. It has nothing to do with his looks, his sexuality or anything like that, to me it is everything to do with his humanity. Not my favorite scene of his, but one where he says so much without "saying" anything at all.

[tefisher1984]

Happy 88th birthday Montgomery Clift!

[justangell]

oh yes happy birthday

[Laneymarlene]

There has never been a piece of music that so explained the life of the men and women who give their llives to protect their country. This is the sinplest thing and yet the most elegabt homage that can be paid.

[mayanchild]

Wonderful, honest time of movie making...when unfortunately the purity of the parts they played, sent the most brilliant method actors around the bend.

[JackBlair2]

Hey may have been moved, but remember, he was an emotionl mamma's boy pussy. I think he nd Burt should have done the beach scene together. That woulda been hot.

[beriflor]

this movie is not in the top 100...it will always be in the TOP TEN

[deibid2003]

From Here to Eternity is #52 in the AFI's list of greatest movies of all time. I think it should be higher, it's wonderful. I'm watching all the movies online, here:

blogger-films.blogspot *com

[adamscott]

I think he was genuinely moved playing that.

[jackie780]

Best movie ever, about the real Army. Yes back then everybody had to box. I remember when you got knocked-out they just put you in the barracks.

[stuffz67]

einfach genial

[UbiDuboi]

that was prewitt, no one played a taps like prewitt

[jawbella]

Great performance of Monts.

After his accident.

wow, Burt L. and him were great in this flick.

[grabit1]

No, his car accident was about 5 years after this. Doesn't matter.

[douglasthistle]

Just finished reading the book, might hazard watching the movie now i have watched that, intense stuff. Thanks for putting it up.

[papibuddy]

Everyone talks about the beach scene but this scene is the one that I'll never forget. When I see and here this chills run all through my body and when that tear runs down his cheek I can't help but cry. I feel it expression of a non-sexual love between two men. This kind of love develops in the service but you aren't supposed to talk about it.

[ubualso]

That's a fine observation about the kind of affection that develops in the service. Thanks for not shying away from saying it.

[jeromestoll]

It was not the act of liberals or conservatives that took this movie off the best 100. It was time. So much is produced that's really great, some great films fall by the way side. As long as we remember it, it will never die.

[leonor123456]

but that's not the best trumpet solo in the movie ! :(

I want what he plays at the bar before the fight

[DoDPUB]

this film is one of the greatest

wat pisses me off is that the american film institute took this off of the 100 greatest film list

[perrypearl]

What, they did? Probably some liberal idiots.

[xocolatl3409]

Hey, now--I consider myself liberal and I LOVE this movie. Don't be so quick to pre-judge, pal.

[perrypearl]

I am a liberal to the core but we have too many whackjobs amongst us....no, not me. In fact it was a liberal who was behind taking this film off the 100 list.

[xocolatl3409]

No way!! I didn't know that--Why thee hell would they do that?

[ytertyu]

@DoDPUB AFI sucks ..they had to make space for fucking q.tarantino and other shitheads

[UbiDuboi]

rest in peace, soljer brave, gawd is nigh

did you see him weep?

[tss77]

When I first saw this movie years ago I cried with Montgomery Cliff but stopped because if anybody had to pay back Fatso Judson for Maggio's death it was Prewitt.

[akomizmo]

the song i want to be played on my funeral... my last request to Atty. Mendoza... :(

[shouldabeenacritic]

MONTGOMERY CLIFT is my all time favorite actor.

I've gotta say that he was even a better actor than LEO GORCEY of The Bowery Boys. Maybe even better than GENE AUTRY.

[internezzo]

why are there two trees growing on top of the building? (close to end of clip)

[Boulderdevil]

They are Christmas trees. Not growing, just decorations.

[Boulderdevil]

Absolutely the most harrowing version of taps ever recorded. At the very end, he hands the bugle back to the private who normally plays taps, and the private looks at the bugle like he can't believe the sound that just came out of it. Perfect!

[lexlib]

i'm only 25 yet this is my favorite film of all time.

[mxky]

Same, but I'm 26 :)

[Charlie265]

Glad that Prue got Fatso Judson.

[dop37]

Monty was the most brilliant actor to ever live. This scene is one of many moments of brilliance.  Extremely touching and moving. A legend.

[tss77]

I still wish I could have been with Montgomery Cliff when He got the Fatso Bastard Sergeant who killed Frank.

[leisure23]

I would like this video played at my wake, its unspeakably touching

[joeasmythe]

This movie is my all-time favorite, especially this scene. Thanks.

[joeasmythe]

A great tribute to the people who died in any war defending this country of ours.

[jsz13]

There is another great scene in the movie where he plays trumpet in a bar. Monty was a great actor :'(

[motownoni]

then as silent as they had come, they filed back inside with lowered eyes, suddenly ashamed of their own emotion, and of seeing a man`s naked soul....

"boy"maggio said as they watched him go. "that guy kin really play a bugle.whynt he never play? he should ought to be in the bugle corps."

[tracylb64]

I wonder if they were Monty's tears. Love him so much.

[Brivuddi]

one realy good movie. I like this!

[maverick2810]

Well, this scene is made for the eternity

[amal19]

THanx! This is definitely the BEST scene in From Here to Eternity!!!

[pricelessstud19]

Male model Luka Magnotta is his cousin, didnt know that.

[MMRP2141]

shut up¡¡

[mickeyh1961]

why cant movies like this be made today? instead of cheap brain dead celebs trying to act. This was truly a golden age, great acting 7 films had a meaning then.

[xocolatl3409]

ENOUGH WITH THIS STUPID NONSENSE!!!
