My respect that Clift after his accident during the filming of Raintree County (Film, 1957) returned to work so quickly the work went, but it's pretty clear that he's quite miscast as the "unemployed young man" Adam White. Aside from the fact that all his dialogue was quite difficult due to the recovery from the accident, he was clearly already too old for a role that was clearly intended for a 20-year-old-James-Dean type (hence the young Dolores Hart was probably cast as his girlfriend/opposite).
As soon as Stapleton comes into the picture, the confusion increases completely and you don't really understand why Adam makes the choices he does anymore. Well acted, but the script should have been adapted to the ages of the actors involved.
