Paddy Chayevsky writes and co-produces this classic drama based on his own play. Ernest Borgnine plays Marty, a shy, middle-aged butcher who leads a dull and hopeless life with his domineering mother. Eventually, Marty summons up the courage to start dating, with his eye drawn to schoolteacher Clara (Betsy Blair), but pressure from his mother and continuing doubts as to what his friends will think lead him to stop seeing her.

Romance about how an ordinary guy finally found a woman. Who would have thought that something so simple would entertain me so much. But here it shows perfectly that when a story is well-written, well-directed, and of course excellently acted, something great comes out of it. "Marty" is an example of how a simple idea can work. Finally, I also see Ernest Borgnine in a fantastic positive role.
