You're the only person I know who might appreciate this old story and film.
I love it because I love NYC. NY is the heart of America.
I believe this and I grew up in a tiny town in South Georgia.

Thank you! Yes, Steiger was the first Marty. This was shown on tv years ago and I saw it. Nancy Marchand - Mrs. Soprano - plays the spinster.

I watched this a few months ago. I am on a mission to watch every Best Picture winner.
Enjoyable film.

Wonderful movie. Just saw it on TCM. Only in America could a Jewish intellectual (Chayefsky) from the Bronx write such a moving story about a humble Italian American butcher.
What a great actor Earnest Borgnine was. He was a tough guy in From Here to Eternity and then went on to win an Academy Award for Marty.

As a born and raised NY City boy, a few years after the TV version, we had to read “Marty” in English class. I did not have a part, but one of my favorite lines was.....
“I’ll never forgive LaGuardia for cutting out burlesque outta New York City”
