Does the little movie that could really need yet another glowing review? Well, considering how quickly so many small classics like MARTY are fading from younger public consciousness, it's important to remind potential viewers of just how wonderful this timeless slice of life really is …

For those still unfamiliar with it, the story is painful simplicity itself:

Marty is a 35-year old butcher with a homely mug & a warm, decent, aching heart. He's never had a real girlfriend, doesn't think any woman would be interested in him, and is tired of even trying to find someone at this point. He's resigned himself to loneliness, without losing his decency & compassion for others. And that's precisely what leads him to help out a fellow "dog" who's been ditched at a dance by her date when he sees "something better" come along.

The story takes place over a night & a day, as the unlikely couple talk & get to know one another. It's sometimes awkward but always honest in its portrayal of two people who've been bruised & thrown away too often to just blossom into rapturous love. It isn't the typical movie romance, it's far more realistic … and far more romantic in the end, too. To say more would be to ruin the story for those who haven't seen it yet.

And if you're one of those people, don't hesitate to get a copy of this sensitive, endlessly rewatchable movie! As current movies feature only sculpted fashion models in supposedly everyday roles, it's such a pleasure to see a story with people who actually look & sound & are real. There's a good reason this picture came out of nowhere to claim its Oscars. Would that we had more like it now — my strongest recommendation, bar none!

This is a dear movie that I have kept around for years. It is one of my "the kids are out of the house on Saturday" go-to movies. I think it is appealing because anyone who thought they would never find the right mate would sympathize with Marty. He is the oldest son who takes care of his family and mother after his father dies. He doesn't believe in himself, but he is lovable and very much wants to find the love of his life. He has to learn to speak up for himself after realizing that he is costing himself his happiness by making sure everyone else has theirs. Ernest Borgnine is just endearing in this movie. All of the characters types are believable and ones you can sympathize with. It's all feel good.

This film is a classic.Great acting,particularly by Borgnine.And dealing with a sensitive subject - loneliness.Filmed with great sensitivity,with great supporting roles from Betsy Blair (as the love interest) and Esther Minciotti ( as the domineering mother ) whose self interest in not letting her son pursue his own life really gives the story grunt.

Overall,I would recommend this film to anyone.Above the standard formulaic rubbish Hollywood has a tendency to churn out these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncut Version of Marty
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2019

I love this movie! Marty is my all time favorite. This version is the best one to get. I originally bought the one from MGM, but was disappointed it had the scene where Clara talks to her parent after she meets Marty deleted from the movie. If you have never seen the movie, maybe it doesn’t matter. I have seen it many times and noticed that scene was cut out. That is why I bought this version (Kino Lorber). If you want the original version of Marty, get this one. All time classic movie.

Marty is one of my favorite movies - I'd seen it twice on TV and wanted to buy it to have in my favorite movies collection to pass on to my two adult children. I could really relate to the time frame of the movie and all the home decorations - it reminded me of my grandma and grandpa's home as well as my home as a very young girl. Very heartfelt movie and good example of integrity and standing up for what you want when so many are telling you no.

Classic movie that's as true today as it's ever been. Wonderful story of an overweight average looking 30 single man still living with Mama, but looking for romance..............and a late 20 something average looking single school teacher still living with her folks and looking for love. But Mama and "the boys in the hood" do everything they can to discourage it for their own selfish reasons. No foul language, no nudity............ just a wonderful, moving, make you smile movie you'll remember and enjoy watching time and time again. . Borgnine won an Oscar for Best Actor.

Love this movie! I had it many years ago on VHS, so it's nice that Kino-Lorber has brought it out. It looks great and the story is so sweet - average-looking guy who thinks he doesn't have anything to offer a woman, meets a "dog" who turns out to be just the right girl for him. The Italian background is beautifully etched - there's a scene of Marty's mother stirring a big pot that you just know is meat sugo - and the minor characters, from his mother and her sister to his cousins and boneheaded friends - are perfect. I only wish we could see the rest of the story! They don't make 'em like this any more.

A simple but far reaching and impactful story. Whether you've ever been neglected or left out socially or not, there is a huge lesson here. Great movie for younger generations, particularly those members who've suffered at the hands of those who use social media to exclude whomever they think they can.
