Description

Ernest Borgnine plays the title character, a lonely middle-aged butcher from the Bronx living at home with his well-meaning but smothering mother. When his mother convinces him to go out dancing at the Stardust Ballroom, he meets a rather plain teacher, Clara, who is also middle-aged and unmarried. After a few dances, they hit it off, but when she meets his mother and his slacker friends, they are nasty and hostile, and Marty doesn't return her phone call. But finally, at a bar with his friends, realizes he needs to live for himself, and rekindles the romance.

    It is full of wonderful performances and has real heart. Ernest Borgnine was one of the last great actors. This is one of my all time favorites. See it if you have not yet, it is worth it.

    In what is considered the most outstanding performances in his career. "Marty" delivers the heart tugging story of a lonely butcher who like everybody in this world hopes to find someone to settle down with. And for you younger people He was also the voice of Mermaid Man on Spongebob Squarepants. Or to people of my generation he was the older guy in the series Airwolf. But this movie shows his depth as an actor. To me there will always be a deep connection as my own father resembled him while I was growing up and people told him so. Thank you for your talent and charisma to the big and small screens. Give this one a chance. I feel it's worth a rental.

    ... and so deserving of this Oscar is Ernest Borgnine, who plays quite possibly the sweetest and most mild-mannered romantic I've ever seen. His facial expressions elate you and break your heart. He can make you laugh and he can make you cry. One of my new favorite movies. Great supporting cast as well and an enduring story of a simple instinct: to want to be loved and to want to love someone. 10 stars. Here's to you Marty. The last of the Romantics!
