Movie Reviews of Marty
Movie Review: Lovely, sweet, charming
Summary: 5 Stars
What a lovely, big-hearted movie this is. Ernest Borgnine plays Marty, a 34-year-old butcher, not the best-looking guy in the room, yearning for love. He finds it with 29-year-old schoolteacher Clara, a kindred spirit dismissed by other men as a "dog." She's played by Betsy Blair, who had a fascinating biography in her own right as a black-listed communist fellow-traveler who was married to Gene Kelly.
This movie won me over through its understatement. The leading characters show their essential sweetness and humanity and the minor characters are also well-played. The writing is excellent. It's very affecting.
Movie Review: marty
Summary: 5 Stars
here's real drama here and it's not just Marty who has problems. There are his young married cousins who are feeling the frustrations of living in a cramped apartment with their baby and widowed mother. There is Marty's mother who is afraid of living her own old age alone. There are his buddies who are as equally bored as Marty. But most of all, there is the wallflower schoolteacher, played by Betsy Blair, who is just a mite to pretty for the role. When Marty meets her at a dance where she has just been dumped by a blind date, he finds they have a lot in common and they both enjoy the evening immensely
is great move
Movie Review: We're all "ugly little men"
Summary: 5 Stars
Heartwarming. That is the only word I can use to describe this film. It speaks to all of our insecurities and fears (after all, even "beautiful" people feel inferior in some way), and also to the trap of valuing and following other's opinions and where that untimately leads - to our own downfall.I have never been a huge Ernest Bornine fan, but he really is excellent in this part, as is all the supporting cast.
Tired of trashy, violent, empty movies overrun by special effects, mundane musical scores and sex as "filler"? Try Marty, you won't be sorry. Better yet buy it so you can watch it again and again.
Movie Review: A CLASSIC !
Summary: 5 Stars
What a Wonderful Film! I have recommended this movie to so many people and cannot find anyone who does not like it. One of my favorite parts is the conversation between Marty and his mother and her comment when she finds out Clara had gone to college, that such women are " one steppa from the street" ! so funny! Thank God that attitude has changed! Look at the lady who plays the brothers wife, she was on an episode of The Star Trek from the 60's. And I'm positive Gilda Radner based one of her characters on the aunt who goes to live with Marty and his Mother. Anyway, PLease check out this fabulous movie!
Movie Review: Great film but incomplete DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Poignant story of "average" people and the profound changes in their lives: loneliness, widowhood, fear, frustration, boredom, shyness. All in the Bronx!
Wonderful film that deserves its awards.
One problem: the DVD is missing a scene! This is yet another example of sloppiness on the part of the studio who released the film not doing its homework to make sure the complete film is there. The film is complete on the video and laserdisc but not on the DVD.
It is the same with Star!, The Owl and the Pussycat, and countless other films.
Shame.
