A humble little movie that delivers without being bolstered by unnecessary complexity. It's short, simple, and to the point.

The little movie that could. In a decade marked by bible epics, historical dramas, film noir, and Hitchcockian thrillers, who would have thought that by the middle of the 1950s, that a sweet love story starring Ernest Borgnine as the romantic lead would wind up winning Best Picture? Marty is a gentle butcher who meets a nice girl at a dance hall and reaches a connection with her because they've both been stood up, have big dreams, and suffer from social awkwardness. It's a short feature, only 90 minutes, and moves at a good pace. It's easy to root for Marty because he's written as the underdog but it becomes engaging because Ernest Borgnine is so likable as Marty.

If this doesn't pull at your heart there is something wrong with you. Get help, you're living out of tune. Outstanding film with a familiar theme. Should we try for happiness or stay trapped and only yearn for it?

I like it! It's quite charming with a nice message, and should be better appreciated.

I really wanted to like this movie as Borgnine is perfect in the role of the man that can't find love. It is a very lonely movie that should probably not be watched alone. That could be the reason I didn't like it - I watched it alone.
