...Had more impact on this then 12 year old than any motion picture I have seen in my 66 years. To see Monty's character blow his life with what was the most precious and knockout gorgeous female in history, had to be the most devastating moment in the history of movies. I have yet to see a movie moment as stark as that one in his jail cell. Monty was born for the part and Liz was the epitome of every man's dreams. Called the Greatest Movie of all time by the World Champion Movie Goer, George Raborn, he wasn't far from the truth....at least for me. George Stevens outdid himself in casting with Shelley Winters....the ideal person for the sad and often clinging girlfriend of Monty. Anyway, I still refer to the movie as my very favorite ever.
