Review of Marty (1955) by Cha T — 30 Oct 2008
A triumph of the heart and spirit over social standards.
Paddy Chayefsky's screenplay is gold on everybody's mouth, but especially in a magnificent Ernest Borgnine, as the modest and kind-hearted italian american butcher whose romantic life is far from idyllic.
Delbert Mann's direction shines for its simplicity and good judgment.
One of the warmest, most touching and rewarding self-examinations and sentimental recollections I have experienced with a motion picture.
