Romance on the Set?

Binky, his co-star in A Place In The Sun, said in a taped biography that “Montgomery had this inner anguish, and it would show in his performance – his eyes would grow dark, he would sweat–he was like no one I ’d worked with before”. They became close friends on that film set, and while they never had a romantic relationship, it was for both of them a “special friendship” that would last until the day Monty died. He would work with Binky, drawing out emotions from her during scene's, and she often out-acted him in the three films that they made together.
One thing for certain, he kept his homosexuality a secret from everyone he knew – making discreet trips to Ogunquin, Maine, where gay men could have trysts without being noticed, then to Fire Island, which in the 1960’s became a well-known gay getaway. Little is published about his homosexual affairs; he was fiercely determined to keep that aspect of himself under wraps. He even once remarked to a friend that he was concerned about how “he used his hands”, in a scene of a particular film – he didn’t want to come across as effeminate.
