Winner of Four Academy Awards®!
America - and the world - fell in love with Marty, the first film to win both the Best Picture Oscar® and the Cannes Film Festival's Golden Palm. Nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards®, this timeless classic "is rich in laughs and tears - a masterpiece of warm-hearted storytelling" (The Hollywood Reporter).
"I've been looking for a girl every Saturday night of my life," says Marty Piletti (Ernest Borgnine). Yet, despite all his efforts, this 34-year old Bronx butcher remains as shy and uncomfortable around women today as on the day he was born. So when he meets Clara (Betsy Blair), a lonely schoolteacher who's just as smitten with him as he is with her, Marty's on top of the world. But not everyone around him shares Marty's joy. And when his friends and family continually find fault with Clara, even Marty begins to question his newfound love... until he discovers, in an extraordinary way, the strength and courage to follow his heart.

MARTY - 2.25 out of 5 (11/11/2001)
Paddy Chayefsky remains one of the greatest writers ever and director Delbert Mann would direct three of the wrier's famed stories into theatrical films. MARTY (1955) is the first and most successful of the trio that would also include THE BACHELOR PARTY (1957 and NOT to be confused with the amusing Tom Hanks comedy of the same name) and MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (1959). MARTY, however, holds the distinction of being the original little film that could.
Out of nowhere, this film became a hit that

Great Film, Print shows Wear - 3.25 out of 5 (6/20/2001)
I love Marty, the little movie that could. From it's poignant characterizations of the average man and woman to it's time capsule capture of the Bronx gone by, it is a classic in all senses. The reason for my comment, however, is to warn that the picture quality on this DVD leaves me wanting a restored copy. Don't know if it'll ever happen, but if this wasn't one of my all time favorites, I would be disappointed in owning the DVD.
