He's my favorite movie actor, too (well, maybe he ties with Cary Grant). Clift himself never liked his performance in The Heiress, but I think it's pretty great.
I found it fun to listen to your comments about Clift. I'm glad you mentioned him in Judgment at Nuremberg and The Misfits; he blew me away in those roles. But I think de Havilland was great in The Heiress; I found her performance very moving.
Sorry guys, this is my all-time favourite film, and I was hoping to LEARN something from your commentary, but all you did was state the obvious. What's the point of this exercise?
While your comments were interesting it was your voices that were distracting. Too quiet and not enough energy or enthusiasm in your voices. It became annoying.
I don't mind the commentary, but I have to agree that the narration is marred by the sound of critic's saliva crackling in their mouths. Re-recording the commentary wouldn't hurt. Otherwise a good effort. The movie is top notch and everyone involved gives a solid performance, especially de Havilland.
The comments are annoying, obvious and the sound is awful. I had to mute the sound. The woman speaking in this voice over needs to record less close to the mic. Its very unpleasant to hear all of that...detail.
Sorry to hear that our comments detracted from your enjoyment of the video. That was the furthest from our intended effect. I hope it's clear that we just wanted to express our admiration for Monty and the film, as so many others have just in their comments. Thank you all for watching.
Monty is my favorite actor of all time. He is the most beautiful man in cinema history. His performance in The Heiress is just simply spectacular...he brought so much depth to the role of Morris, so much subtext and complexity...just astounding!
This movie is so well acted! Olivia is just wonderful in this isn't she? I'll bet Monty 's acting was a breath of fresh air for her! I've read that Olivia and Sir Ralph hated each other in real life, too, which works for the movie!
Regarding the variably effective comments (too obvious) during the running of the film - no, de Haviland doesn't give a "good' performance - she gives a great performance!!!
I know Monty's smile made this boy swoon ; ) It's a shame Montgomery had to leave us so soon, but I'm glad Olivia is still with us! Both are wonderful actors in a wonderful film. Nice to hear your analysis. Thanks!

It's appropriate that his accent is different - he's from a different class.

"Good performance", you say de Havilland gives? With this film and The Snake PIt, she proves she was one of the finest ever.

Olivia De Havilland is one of the greatest most beautiful actresses of the black & white error.

..."of the black & white error"...
I'm sure you meant to write "black and white era." Anyway, I agree.

Great movie! Olivia de Havilland is one of the greatest of all time. Monty is good too, but I feel he was pretty selfish actor.
