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
My father was at Schofield barracks during World War II and the only thing he told me was the movie captures peace time army life perfectly. When I hear Montgomery cliff playing taps in the movie it reminds me of my father. All these men will soon be sent to Guadalcanal in the first campaign of the pacific forming the 25th lightning division.
My mother was 22, a registered nurse and volunteered for WW II. She was initially stationed at Tripler General Hospital in Hawaii. She was elevated to the rank of captain in the Woman's Army Nurse Corp. She went on in 1944 to Saipan and then to Okinawa tending to the wounded from those fierce battles. She came back and immediately went to Cleveland and helped in the finding of the polio vaccine and while raising a family in the early 1950s, she was the directress of nursing at a major cancer hospital. She is my definition of a hero.
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....
I could watch this movie every night.......Hollywood has sure forgot how to make a great movie over the last 50 years. No nudity. No profanity. No CGI graphics.
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".
This is one of the greatest films ever made. 1953 academy award for best picture winner. I loved Stalig 17 and William Holden but Montgomery Clift should have won best actor In my opinion. Even Burt Lancaster was great. I loved frank Sinatra, Debrah Kerr has always been a favorite of mine in Cary Grant Movies, of course you can’t forget Donna Reed. Ol fatso Earnest who is a legend. Taps gives me chills every time I hear it and it makes me cry a military funerals I have attended.
Non c'è nulla da fare: tutte le volte che l'ascolto mi vengono le lacrime agli occhi! Sono uno dei vecchi che una vita fa fecero il servizio militare...LA NAJA! 😢 Erano tempi più puliti di adesso...2023 😮
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN LIMBS, AND SOME, THEIR VERY LIVES, FOR THE FREEDOMS THAT SO MANY HERE TAKE FOR GRANTED. TO THOSE WHO GAVE SO MUCH, IN PERSERVING OUR FREEDOMS, I THANK THEM IN BOTH HUMILITY & PRAYER.
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!
Soberbia la película increíble interpretación de Mongomery clift, Frank Sinatra, Burt ncaster, Ernest Borgnine, todos sublime . Oscar Frank Sinatra y Donna Reed también mejor director, mejor guión , mejor fotografía y mejor sonido. se merece más actor principal Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift , mejor actriz Principal Deborah Kerr, mejor banda sonora y por mejor vestuario. LA RECOMIENDO EN MAYUSCULAS, ES SEPTIMO ARTE Y COMO ES ACTUAR EN UNA PELICULA. Ernest Borgnine sublime increíble , gano su Oscar en Marty, preciosa película maravillosa interpretación . Un saludo
Esta película la ví en mi adolescencia y me marcó de por vida como una de las mejores películas que he visto, si no la mejor, y con un plantel de actores dificilmente mejorables. Además el actor que mejor valoré: Burt Lancanter. Yo creo que casi todos los espectadores teníamos un nudo en la garganta, cuando no unas lágrimas sobre las mejillas, mientras tocaba Montgomery Clift.
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.
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!
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.
Very handsome n talented actor of golden era.Died at young age.This is from award winning movie From here to Eternity.He was at his best in the movie The Heiress dirtected by William Wyler co starred with Olivia De Haviland.
As a Veteran, "Taps" has a special meaning and significance few who never served could understand. This scene, one of my absolute favorites from all military films, never fails to rekindle the memories, the faces and names of those brothers and sisters from every generation who gave their last full measure; evoking unbidden emotions even on this old-school NCO's face.
Ah, this scene makes me study trumpet. So i bougth a one today, cheap Yamaha. I'm sure that I will play well soon the theme of movie ,from here to heaven.
Johnnyboy792 Same thing. And I LOVE “Stalag 17” and Bill Holden. But for all the Oscars this movie (deservedly) won, the fact that Monty’s performance didn’t is astonishing.
I have been listening to various videos to find the correct "Taps". Until I realized that they are all correct! Even the same person will likely sound slightly different from one play to another I surmise that that is what makes Taps even more beautiful. The deceased is honoured with Taps which is as unique to them as it is universal to all. The difference in how it was played is how the Soldiers guessed who played Taps.
A lot of characters from the book get left out of the movie - Blues Berry, Jack, Isaac Bloom and Violet Ugure, to name the most important ones. The movie is a delicious snack, but the book is an extremely satisfying buffet.
De aquí a la eternidad, así recordare este film, excelente película, con actores brillantes de entonces, rodada en 1953 con Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, Frank Sinatra
The irony of the scene is that this is Prewitt's final victory over the commander. No one...NO ONE...on that base was going to force him to fight. He had earned that much respect.
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.
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.
i saw this movie in my native Denmark in 1962 or so. One of my favorite movies, and Montgomery Clift one of my favorite actors. Have also read the book. Movie and book both superb and realistic.
Dad, WWII generation, turned me onto this movie, along with Shane, when I was a boy. I was utterly enthralled and it launched me into a lifetime of WWII study and time in army, etc. Finally made it to Pearl Harbor in 12/06. cried when I saw the old vets. Met two old gents from the old WVA. Gone now for sure. Tip: Read "Children of battleship Row," by Joan Zuber Earle (a 10 y.o. girl living with her USMC father on Ford Island for the year leading up to 12/7/41). Stunning account.
And the story goes that Holden himself felt Clift earned it and that he (Holden) only won the Oscar for Stalag 17 because the Academy realized they had stiffed him by not giving him the Oscar earlier for "Sunset Boulevard".
Oh, I highly recommend it. James Jones is a wonderful writer - heavily influenced by Ernest Hemingway, but still distinctly himself. I found it satisfying to have read the whole trilogy - first From Here to Eternity, then The Thin Red Line, then Whistle. Don't read Whistle if you hate sad endings.
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 !
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.
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.
I love Montgomery Clift, this was so sad. OMG, when the tears were running down his cheeks, I cried. He was such a good actor. He was excellent in the movie, I confess.
Yes he did learn to play, but the taps in this scene is not by Clift he however wanted to make sure his mouth movements looked realistic and they surely do. Love the lengths this guy would go through to get little things right.
Why Sgt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt's tears? His best friend Maggio (Frank Sinatra) had just died in his arms following a savage beating administered by Sgt. "Fatso" Judson (Ernest Borgnine) commander of the stockade. 8 Academy Awards.
My grandfather loved this scene. I had my best friend play this when we carried his casket from the church.

One of the top ten scenes ever in a film
He looked down at the bugle like "WTH" Am I supposed to do after that! 😅
Montgomery Clift was more than a jewel,he's now an everlasting star. Thanks Monty.
My father was at Schofield barracks during World War II and the only thing he told me was the movie captures peace time army life perfectly. When I hear Montgomery cliff playing taps in the movie it reminds me of my father. All these men will soon be sent to Guadalcanal in the first campaign of the pacific forming the 25th lightning division.
Monty was the most brilliant actor to ever live. This scene is one of many moments of brilliance. Extremely touching and moving. A legend.
A man should be, what he can do....
Montgomery Clift, "from here to eternity"
I remember watching this movie on TV when I was a kid. It was the first movie that I could remember to make me cry and this was the scene that did it.
My mother was 22, a registered nurse and volunteered for WW II. She was initially stationed at Tripler General Hospital in Hawaii. She was elevated to the rank of captain in the Woman's Army Nurse Corp. She went on in 1944 to Saipan and then to Okinawa tending to the wounded from those fierce battles. She came back and immediately went to Cleveland and helped in the finding of the polio vaccine and while raising a family in the early 1950s, she was the directress of nursing at a major cancer hospital. She is my definition of a hero.
The most beautiful rendition of taps that I have every heard. Simply stunning.
This movie is my all-time favorite, especially this scene. Thanks.
Beautiful....Montgomery Clift is beautiful in this scene......
Best actor that ever lived. Great scene. 💕mb
Never fails to bring a tear to my eye, we owe the men at Pearl Harbor so much.
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....
I could watch this movie every night.......Hollywood has sure forgot how to make a great movie over the last 50 years. No nudity. No profanity. No CGI graphics.
best scene in the history of cinema.
Parpar Gh got that right
in my opinion, the most effective too!
this scene made me want to be a filmaker as a kid❤️
Probably the first movie I saw that opened up my tear ducts.
This scene would always make me cry! And just so you know, this isn't a trumpet, it's a bugle :)
True, Clift was holding a bugle but what you heard was a trumpet played by the great Mannie Klein.
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".
Many thanks for your service, sir!

It's a bugle, not a trumpet. This my favourite film of lockdown. Such a wonderful actor so passionate and intense love Monty ♥️
i'm only 25 yet this is my favorite film of all time.
Monty Clift is the man.
This is one of the most believable movie scenes of all time.... I love Frank Sinatra, but this is the best scene in the movie!
What? How about Burt and Deborah on the beach?
Non c'è nulla da fare: tutte le volte che l'ascolto mi vengono le lacrime agli occhi! Sono uno dei vecchi che una vita fa fecero il servizio militare...LA NAJA! 😢 Erano tempi più puliti di adesso...2023 😮
"Nobody ever lies about being lonely"
The most emotional entered actor ever in cinema! There will never be anyone like "Monty". RIP and may the god give a rest for your restless soul. -_-
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN LIMBS, AND SOME, THEIR VERY LIVES, FOR THE FREEDOMS THAT SO MANY HERE TAKE FOR GRANTED. TO THOSE WHO GAVE SO MUCH, IN PERSERVING OUR FREEDOMS, I THANK THEM IN BOTH HUMILITY & PRAYER.
Il silenzio più commovente della storia del cinema inimitabile

Liz was at her most beautiful in this movie.
Good movie in good old days. Moving moment.
I was 12 growing up in Arica Chile... I remember this classic movie... awesome!!!!

Was / is any man more handsome? What a great actor!
...go to sleep, safely rest, God is n'ie. Part of the lyrics of Taps. Beautiful.

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.
The Academy should have played taps for Monty in the first Awards session after his death. For the best representation of
‘soldier’ in movie history.
I love Montgomery Clift. He was great in I accused
Gran actor
Monty playing taps was the only thing I remember about this movie bc it made me cry. RIP.
Monty, amazing, he truly can do this, and he truly was talanted actor :)
Very handsome n talented actor of golden era.Died at young age.This is from award winning movie From here to Eternity.He was at his best in the movie The Heiress dirtected by William Wyler co starred with Olivia De Haviland.
unvergessen die Tränen in Montgomerys Gesicht
oh my god what a gorgeous guy

Ah, this scene makes me study trumpet. So i bougth a one today, cheap Yamaha. I'm sure that I will play well soon the theme of movie ,from here to heaven.
I love you Monty !
for my Good Friend ... Rest in peace
So crying right now
Not taking anything away from William Holden's Academy Award, ( For Stalag 17 ) but Monty should have won that year.
Johnnyboy792 Same thing. And I LOVE “Stalag 17” and Bill Holden. But for all the Oscars this movie (deservedly) won, the fact that Monty’s performance didn’t is astonishing.
@@HovaNirvana :):):)
William Holden was ashamed that the Oscar went to him instead of Monty

The deceased is honoured with Taps which is as unique to them as it is universal to all.

Un film toujours émouvant avec une distribution exceptionnelle d'acteurs, hélas, disparus
BEST TAPS EVER PLAYED
A lot of characters from the book get left out of the movie - Blues Berry, Jack, Isaac Bloom and Violet Ugure, to name the most important ones. The movie is a delicious snack, but the book is an extremely satisfying buffet.
De aquí a la eternidad, así recordare este film, excelente película, con actores brillantes de entonces, rodada en 1953 con Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra got the Oscar for best Supporting Actor, Well deserved too
My favorite film of Montgomery clift, Burt Lancaster and Frank Sinatra 🤩🤩😍😍😍😍💛💛

My favourite scene, along with the bar cornet solo
I saw this movie over 30 years ago and this scene still haunt me.
i saw this movie in my native Denmark in 1962 or so. One of my favorite movies, and Montgomery Clift one of my favorite actors. Have also read the book. Movie and book both superb and realistic.

Great performance of Monts.
After his accident.
wow, Burt L. and him were great in this flick.
Love between men is quite beautiful.
SO TALENTED I LOVE YOU MONTY
Clift learned how to play the bugle, despite knowing that it would be dubbed in the movie.
why didnt he win an Oscar?? that's just sad...
And the story goes that Holden himself felt Clift earned it and that he (Holden) only won the Oscar for Stalag 17 because the Academy realized they had stiffed him by not giving him the Oscar earlier for "Sunset Boulevard".
Because the mafia made sure that Sinatra won it.
@@luispineda3505 sinatra won im supporting. Clift was nominated in lead.
Montgomery Clift in a military uniform - 😮!
Holy hell, was he handsome.
The creeps in Congress should have to watch this. Maybe then they would appreciate our troops, not denigrate them.
Oh, I highly recommend it. James Jones is a wonderful writer - heavily influenced by Ernest Hemingway, but still distinctly himself. I found it satisfying to have read the whole trilogy - first From Here to Eternity, then The Thin Red Line, then Whistle. Don't read Whistle if you hate sad endings.

Montgomery Clift actor legendary Best 🎭
Taps for Private Maggio, Happy Memorial Day
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.
Hermosa películas 🎥 y linda canción del Silencio. Bravo por mi actor preferido 👏 Clif Momgomery ,me llegó al alma gracia, feliz noche
There are several re-makes of this movie,none came close to the original masterpiece.
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.
Stunning brings tears Amen
Just beautiful
Perfecto! Lancaster & Clift!
Was the bugler ever listed in the movie credits?? That has got to be the most beautiful, perfect taps ever played.
The player was cliff himself
Manny Klein
I love Montgomery Clift, this was so sad. OMG, when the tears were running down his cheeks, I cried. He was such a good actor. He was excellent in the movie, I confess.
pat7893 Clift learned to play for the movie.
Yes he did learn to play, but the taps in this scene is not by Clift he however wanted to make sure his mouth movements looked realistic and they surely do. Love the lengths this guy would go through to get little things right.
узнал о МК около пяти лет назад, пересмотрел все его фильмы.
A great tribute to the people who died in any war defending this country of ours.
perfect
I love the movie 'Shane,' too. It reminds me of when I was a kid and I watched it in school. Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check it out.
The kid met an early and tragic death.
Ho cercato questa scena dopo aver letto la splendida e commovente pagina del libro. Bella e struggente.
Un film sublime !
Great movie all terrific actors!
the first shot is of george reeves aka superman
from the '52 t.v. series: adventures of superman
Movie shot at Schofield Barracks. Genuine.
@iTellyoueveryting i saw black swam yesterday....i LOVED IT!Best movie in a long time!
They just don't make movies like that any more. Great story. Actors and plot.
Why Sgt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt's tears? His best friend Maggio (Frank Sinatra) had just died in his arms following a savage beating administered by Sgt. "Fatso" Judson (Ernest Borgnine) commander of the stockade. 8 Academy Awards.
You had to read the book
Great scene for a great movie!!
Here comes the sad heart !!!
Safely rest, soldier brave, G-d is nigh.......
To all our troops who gave their lives for our country. Rest in peace.
