Marty Reviews

Ernest Borgnine is phenomenal in role as the guy who thinks he will never find love. When he finally does his friend and mother, spent the entire first half of the movie telling him he should find love, tell him the girl isn't any good. Ernest is amazing in his role as the every day man, just wants to do the right thing.

I quite enjoyed this one! It's an old Oscar winner that I hadn't seen before. Borgnine is excellent in the role and it's just an interesting and well written movie. if you like classics, give it a try!

Remarkably good performance by Ernest Borgnine. That's Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine to you, buddy! (best actor 1955 for this fiilm)

Delbert Mann's "Marty" is short and simple, but a real lovable film. In an Academy Award-winning performance, Ernest Borgnine brings the fragile, honest character of Marty Pilletti to life with his earnest charm and classic 'nice guy' mentality. "Marty" lags only when it comes to its less-interesting subplots, but when it focuses just on the titular character and his quest for true love, it's really quite something.

Marty Pilletti is one of the most endearing characters to ever appear on screen! This is thanks to a career defining performance from Borgnine who isutterly charming and a no nonsense script. Wonderful wonderful film!

Na sociedade atual, preconceituosa, cheia de pessoas solitárias, depressivas e isoladas, a mensagem de Marty parece mais eficaz do que a 60 anos atras, onde duas almas sozinhas e com baixa auto-estima se encontram, e mesmo com a rejeição de amigos e família, eles decidem ficar juntos - destaque também para as atuações excelentes de Ernest Borgnine e Betsy Blair.

Two lonely people have almost resigned themselves to never being truly loved.

This is an "ugly people need love too" movie, but it's sooooo well done - very realistic for its day.

It's very short and only modest in its intentions, but Marty is a very sweet and believable love story.

Una de las mas bonitas y tiernas historias del cine. Todos tenemos algo de Marty

A "small movie" but great acting and quite moving

Requires pateince but wonderful to listen to, makes me feels giddy inside.

Wonderful story of two lonely people searching for love. Ernest Borgnine is perfect as Marty and Paddy Cheyefsky's screenplay is a real delight.

This film had an emotional impact on me and I like the way the story slowly brings the two personalities together.

hey how about that whole speech where he says to her "yeah ur ugly but its not big deal"

Well almost exactly a month ago, we lost Ernest Borgnine which has been a terrible tragedy for many fans and film buffs who know his work. Sadly, I have hardly seen a thing from him besides voicing as Mermaid Man in Spongebob Squarepants. So after hearing his tragic death, I decided that it's long time that I take a look at what he seems to be best known for; being the star in the 1955 Best Picture winning movie, Marty.

Plot: Marty is a 34 year old Italian-American man who works as a butcher living with his mother. He's known to be socially awkward yet good-natured and his family and friends keep nagging at him over the matter that he hasn't gotten married while all of his siblings are married and some even have a couple of kids. Marty wants to get married but is tired of always being let down whenever he's interested in a girl. But one Saturday night, he and his best friend Angie go to a ballroom to find dates and along the way he meets this girl named Clara and they start to spend the evening together.

This is a very charming movie. The comedy is cute, the characters are entertaining, the story has been herd before, but you don't really care since it feels like this is the first time anyone has told it more or less and the way they tell is has some pretty good charm. I think my only problem would be that certain parts of the dialogue keep repeating just about every single time throughout the movie. I mean it's fine when it's done for comedy or something, but even when it makes a little bit of sense it seems a little off when it's happening even in the most dramatic parts of the movie. But I guess that's just the kind of world that the characters live in and sometimes such as during the very end, it can turn out to be utterly awesome.

Actors/Characters:
Ernest Borgnine/Marty: Borgnine was excellent in this movie. He perfectly displayed this really kind - hearted guy that really has it hard socially and with trying to date women. I mean his performance from when he's finding out he's not getting a date from a girl earlier in the film is so perfectly done. You really care about what this guy goes through and with the situations that he's facing and Borgnine makes that happens very well.

And that's my review for Marty. It's a charming movie with a simple story, fun characters, splendid acting and just an excellent movie to watch that I think deserved to win Best Picture during its time.

One of the finest work in motion picture history i've seen so far .

Only flick I've ever seen 100% of critics like ?!

Several plot points are left unresolved at the end (which is too abrupt), but Borgnine is very good though, and the characters are quite likable.
