What I learned: A man's purpose in life is to marry -- not to a "dog," if you can help it -- and have children. Although parts were pretty dated, this feel-good movie (with its well-picked cast) generally hits the right spots, showing us the awkwardness of a late-in-life romance (with the irony of contrasting it with a failed one throughout the middle). Would make an interesting double-feature with Diner (1982).

Marty is about the problem of loneliness and the curse of being less than ordinary. As others have pointed out, its views on marriage and middle aged spinsters are largely antiquated, but social pressure to 'couple up' is still a 'thing', so its concerns are not completely outdated. The subplot about aging widows is regrettably undeveloped, but Borgnine is at his best as Marty, an unremarkable man who takes one last shot at love, and Chayefsky's script skillfully balances drama and humour.

Marty is a wholesome, unpretentious movie with a lot of heart but sadly it feels thin and ends abruptly.

How could one not love this film? A bit silly at times, but that just adds to the warm character of the film.

A gentle and sweet film, with its heart in the right place. Deserving special mention is the effective use of long takes, which allowed the actors to shine while rendering their characters' loneliness and heartache in a poignant and palpable way. A shame about its sudden ending, but the rest of the film more than makes up for it.

One Saturday night in the Bronx, a lonely butcher (Ernest Borgnine) and a lonely teacher (Betsy Blair) meet and fall in love, but does he have the strength to overcome the disapproval of his family and friends? Groundbreaking at the time for bringing kitchen-sink realism to the big screen, it seems rather rough around the edges now--as if it were birthing a genre and telling a story at the same time. But the romance at the heart of it is so sweet and well-acted that it overcomes the film's flaw

God only knows why I thought watching a drama about a lovelorn Ernest Borgnine would be for me. I'm only leaving this review so I can come back later and remind myself of why I gave this a low score - I can revisit it and enjoy it in a different mood.

This is a unique film, a glimpse in a brief moment in time in the lives of characters that are far too ordinary to be movie stars. And yet, the honesty of the writing and earnestness of the acting makes this a charming, often very funny, and eye-opening romantic drama that is unlike any other.

A remarkable film; within a charming, formulaic dramatic romance, it touches upon deeper human emotions and conflicts rarely broached in any movie; the pain of loneliness and not finding a spouse, of old age and losing connection with one's children, the nature of mother-son relationships, tensions between wives and mother-in-laws, etc. Love the use of repetition in the dialogue. However, the direction is occasionally lacking, with certain scenes being too melodramatic for the film's realism.

Certainly a by the numbers movie in todays world, but it has a lot of heart not seen in films of this genre. Borgnine's performance is memorable even though the movie is not quite as memorable.

Nothing much happens but it's very moving anyway.

This tidy little character study makes a warmhearted and charming story, with the kind of frank observation of ordinary folks that even now rarely make the screen. Save an abrupt conclusion, it's a spruce and gratifying movie.

There are a few stand out moments that are unique to the film version, but all in all, the TV is much better.

A very curious Best Picture winner, especially in a sea of bloated, spectacle based garbage. Marty is a fine film, though it's effectively a filmed stage-play, to the point that it would probably work just as well as a radio drama. Borgnine is good and likable, but it doesn't really rise above its roots in TV drama. Watchable, if forgettable.
