Marty

Videos - Classics

Marty may be the biggest sleeper in Hollywood history. This modest 1955 film proved so fresh, joyful and heartbreakingly real it achieved overwhelming critical and box-office success... and walked off with the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor (Ernest Borgnine), Best Director and Best Screenplay. Borgnine (From Here To Eternity, Bad Day At Black Rock) broke away from playing sadistic screen villains to give an eloquent performance as Marty, a likable, pudding-faced Bronx butcher who's given up looking for love until he meets an equally plain and lonely schoolteacher (Oscar-nominee Betsy Blair). But Marty's newfound happiness is soon threatened. His protective mother fears losing her son. His pals disdain any woman who doesn't fit the voluptuous ideal found in a Mickey Spillane paperback. And Marty may not have the courage to defy them. Marty's ensuing struggle to find love awoke the hearts of movie fans and turned this sleeper into a four-time Oscar-winner!
