Is there information somewhere as to which scenes were shot before Montgomery Clift's car accident and which were shot after the extensive plastic surgery etc.?
I find myself curious watching it.
"The good end happily, the bad unhappily, that is why it is called Fiction."
One of the reviews on this website mentions that.

I often wondered that myself, according to the Elizabeth Taylor commentary I thought his injuries were suppose to be pretty extensive, his jaw line is the only thing that looks rather different, but than again you can't really tell Merle Oberon was in an accident that left her face severely scared do to good make-up and special lighting they came up with especially for her.
I'm impressed because reconstructive surgery was nothing like it is today.

I commented previously that in some of the scenes shot after the accident Monty was still a very handsome man and that according to stories I have read his alcohol and drug intake really ravaged his looks after Raintree County. There are definately scenes that you can see hos mouth does not move even, but look at how old he looks in Suddenly Last Summer.
shareIt's clear when he's seen in "Judgment at Nuremberg" you can tell his looks have been changed because of drug and alcohol, he wasn't that old but looked like he was almost Spencer Tracy age. They stated after the accident he was left partially paralyzed.
Looking at Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland who are both younger than me and they look older, and more ravaged because of their alcohol abuse, in Sheen's case he's done both drugs and alcohol. When these substances are abuse they will affect a person's looks.
