Obviously the song is about Montgomery Clift who was a great actor who happened to be gay at a time when it was kept secret. After his car wreck he had a bad scar on his face that left him depressed. He eventually died alone from slow self-destruction. It is a great song. The title is itself a joke. There once was a silly game show called Let's Make A Deal. It was hosted by a man named Monty Hall.
