A very nice film that involves a lot of sadness and happiness. Properly atmospheric with all the supporting characters feeling very real. Ernest Borgnine is great as Marty who has romantic problems. Th story is very effective and keeps you watching throughout. The only thing I did not like about it was Betsy Blair she just did not give a very good performance, but almost everyone else was great and the movie is great.

Oscar Win Best Actor Ernest Borgnine 5/5- Borgnine is great in this. He perfectly plays the complicated character of Marty in every scene in the film. He never strikes a false note and is completely believable the whole time and shows a range you might not expect from him.

Oscar nominee best supporting actor Joe Mantell 1/5- Mantell is not bad or anything but there is merely nothing to the role. He has no scenes for him to do anything. He mostly just basically asks Marty things and things about Marty he really just does not have anything to do.
