Mr. Jimmy Cagney, one of Hollywood's great "Triple Threats": a consummate singer, dancer and actor. Here he's exhibiting his class by wearing an impeccably tailored suit and fine chronograph wrist watch.

Inspector Krogh in Son of Frankenstein (1939) is almost a precursor to Columbo in the way he plays along with Frankenstein’s bullshit and acts like the man’s friend until he’s got him pinned.

I just learned they call it The Golden Age of Hollywood and I agree. The 1930s and 1940s had my favorite horror films. Son of Dracula (1943), for example, is a perfect vampire movie. It’s a romantic tragedy. Everything is black and gray, dreary and dramatic. Old fashioned homes. Creepy organ music in the background. It’s all delightfully, perfectly spooky. I love it.

I'd like to start Pride Month out with a recommendation for a documentary I saw recently. Montgomery Clift was a top movie star in the Golden Age of Hollywood, known for his sensitivity and vulnerability in an age when leading men were expected to be macho and stoic, and his off-the-charts chemistry with leading ladies like IRL best friend Elizabeth Taylor.

Since his untimely death at the age of 45, Clift has attained the status of queer icon. Biographers and the popular press have painted a picture of him as a tragic, St. Sebastian-like figure: stunted by an unconventional upbringing and an obsessive mother, tormented by life in the Hollywood closet, and broken by substance abuse and the 1956 car accident that scarred and partially paralyzed his famously beautiful face.

Monty's nephew, filmmaker Robert Clift, turns that image on its ear in his 2018 documentary Making Montgomery Clift. Robert's father, Brooks Clift, kept extensive journals, meticulously saved his correspondence, and even recorded and saved his phone calls. Robert dug into his father's archives and learned how Monty's official biographers had intentionally ignored Brooks's input and overlooked key information in service of the sad narrative they wished to create.

As a huge fan of Montgomery Clift, it made me so happy to learn that his life was not the all-consuming tragedy it's often made out to have been. While he did have his share of real problems, his life was more than that. He had loving relationships. He stayed connected with friends and family. He found fulfillment in his work, and he had hopes for the future. Hearing a recording of Monty's voice enthusing to his brother over his latest film project gave me such a warm feeling.

I highly recommend Making Montgomery Clift. It's currently streaming for free on several services, including Tubi, PLEX, and Crackle.
