One of my all times favorites movies. One that touches me on a very personal level. Many men who are not exceptionally handsome have been in Marty's shoes and have experienced rejection that cuts deep and may have left emotional scars.
This is my parents. Same time period, too. I adore this movie. Pop used to be a butcher who lived in Queens, NY who hailed from a large Italian family and Mom Irish/German from a smaller one. I watch this movie three times a year because I love it so much.
"Ma, sooner or later, there comes a point in a man's life when he's gotta face some facts. And one fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it." Fun Fact: At 90 minutes long, this is the shortest of all films that have won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Historical Fact: A Moscow screening of the film during a 1959 cultural-exchange program made it the first US feature seen in the USSR since World War II. Casting Notes Fact: When reading for the part, Ernest Borgnine moved both screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky and director Delbert Mann to tears. When Borgnine had finished his read-through, both Mann and Chayefsky knew that they had found their Marty. Cameos Cameos Fact: Uncredited film debut of Jerry Orbach of Law And Order (1990) fame. Frank Sutton, who was later famous for his role as Sgt. Vince Carter on Gomer Pyle: USMC (1964). Moderately renowned (at the time) stage actor and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky as the character of Leo, who appears in the back of the car when Marty (Ernest Borgnine) is approached by his friends to make up the pair for the "odd squirrel" they have with them. Film Enthusiast Fact: Many have credited this film with demonstrating the viability of low-budget, independently-produced films in the US and with the proliferation of such films. Studio executives were well aware that low-budget, independent and realistic films had been successful in Europe for many years, but most studios were skeptical that such successes would occur in the US. This movie's box office financial success and critical acclaim demonstrated that low-budget productions with lesser-known casts could be profitable in the US States and could compete with European art-house productions on an artistic level. The film cemented United Artists' reputation as a haven for daring, independent producers, and inspired rival studios such as MGM and 20th Century-Fox to delve into a similar brand of filmmaking with some of their productions.
I love love love this movie, and the Library of Congress National Film Archive apparently does too. It selected "Marty" for preservation as being culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant. However, I never expected any RUclipsr these days to react to it. Thanks so much! BTW I saw a "kinescope" of the original 1953 live broadcast television play starring Rod Steiger as Marty (kinescope was a method they would use back in those days when they wanted record live broadcasts for posterity by actually pointing a movie camera at a TV screen in a studio and filming the picture and sound as they appeared live on the TV). It was when my local PBS station was showing kinescopes of early TV shows (I also saw the original version of "Requiem For a Heavyweight" starring Jack Palance this way). The original was very good, but I think that Ernest Borgnine brought a greater lovable quality to the character than Rod Steiger did.
It's just a good wholesome movie without any of the usual sex and violence that is so commonplace in Hollywood. Marty is a very relatable character to me, I'm almost 36 and never married, the only good thing is that nobody bothers to gives me any grief over it.
Marty is a wonderful film. So relatable. And the performances are wonderful. We've become content to see on screen big brash loud offensive spectacular scenes and dialogue. We've given up on smaller understandable and relatable scenes. But films must touch the heart first. They must be relatable. We don't live in a fantasy world. We live in the real world. Fantasy has its place but so do films like Marty.
I love this movie. Earnest Borgnine won an Oscar for this part. 1. People looked older back in the day look at picture of people in the 1930s 1940 1950 they dressed looked and acted older than we do now. 2. They were in separate beds because the movie censors were very strick at the time. The Hayes Code. 3. The Mother's feared being alone and forgotten. They wanted to feel needed but the married couples need their space too.
I was going to say the same about the censorship of married couples being seen in the same bed. I believe you started seeing couples in the same bed around mid 60s. Or at least a single bed indicating they slept in the same bed. As for the customers in the 1st scene being crass with Marty, people would get cussed out today if they said such nonsense to a single person. I have a friend who lost her husband last year; she’s in her early 50s and her family was already telling her she’ll meet someone else to marry!!!! The movie is so relatable when it comes to people who are single and who are average people. How some friends can be a negative influence on others.
This is absolute gold. I was hoping one of the reaction channels would do this movie. It resonates to this day. Just for that, you've got another subscriber. I hope you guys blow up.
Wow. A high school chemistry teacher graduated nyu. Very accomplished young lady. Great job and benefits and pension from New York City. She very personable and well spoken. What a catch. Marty should grab her.
So a sweet well educated well spoken young woman is rejected by men who say she’s a dog because she’s not conventionally pretty. They only care about her looks and nothing else matters. That’s very sad that such a great girl is only judged by her looks The actress Betsy Blair was married to gene Kelly for many years and they had a daughter. Gene was considered the hottest actor and dancer in Hollywood at that time and could have easily married the most gorgeous actress of that time but he chose Betsy and they had a happy marriage for many years. Eventually they divorced after 15 years and she married someone else for 40 years. She died at age 95
Marty wasn’t nice to Clara when he promised to call her at 2.30 and never did. He knew she’d be hurt because she liked him and was looking forward to the call. He said he liked her too yet never called because his mom and his friends were negative. He should have kept his promise and called her even if it might not pan out because when you promised to call you should keep your word. Instead he didn’t call and left her in tears Not nice to treat a woman like that and especially when you liked her
@@fjeresomereactions so I didn’t think he’s such a great guy if he didn’t consider her feelings and referred to her as a dog and was embarrassed by her with his friends and hogged the whole conversation. I think that she was a gem. Polite and educated with a good job and nice personality and I didn’t think that she was so bad looking
ladies.... its a black n white... its the meaning of a different time.. SHAME was thing and folks used it. its NOT that long ago this was the norm.. have a good one. thanks for this!
No no no The industry was not allowed to show people together in bed It wasn’t that back then they had two beds The people who control and sensor movies and tv would not allow it
This movie is making me request "Quiz Show" (1994). Directed by Robert Redford. Please react to it and you'll understand. Edit: If you haven't seen it 😊
Nope, we haven't seen it 🙂 If you could please add it on our request form we'd really appreciate it: docs.google.com/forms/d/1ntXBs7o4Jz91EV7LWmwqeEae3dbV2Mm6K6UDa96-cz0/edit
It seems that he’s the first man to ever show interest in her so she’s fascinated with him. She never got so much attention from a man. She was gene Kelly’s wife in real life
You guys should check out "Murder in Coweta County" very good old under viewed movie staring johnny cash june Carter and andy griffith :) have a good one & hope you can get around to it.

Most times movies only show it from the woman's point of view so it was nice to see from a man's as well!
This is my parents. Same time period, too. I adore this movie. Pop used to be a butcher who lived in Queens, NY who hailed from a large Italian family and Mom Irish/German from a smaller one. I watch this movie three times a year because I love it so much.

38:25 In 1955 you were married with children by age 25. A single woman at 29 was not only considered over the hill, she was considered “strange”.
Such a different time than today!

Finally, and I mean it, finally a reaction video for one of of the most endearing romances ever...
It's just a good wholesome movie without any of the usual sex and violence that is so commonplace in Hollywood. Marty is a very relatable character to me, I'm almost 36 and never married, the only good thing is that nobody bothers to gives me any grief over it.
Ernest Borgnine one best actor Oscar for this movie. He later did the 1960's TV comedy show McHale's Navy for 4 years and many other films.
There are millions of Martys today.
Marty is a wonderful film. So relatable. And the performances are wonderful. We've become content to see on screen big brash loud offensive spectacular scenes and dialogue. We've given up on smaller understandable and relatable scenes. But films must touch the heart first. They must be relatable. We don't live in a fantasy world. We live in the real world.

An older movie that is kind of like this but different is call Now, Voyager! It's one of my favorites.
Definitely adding it to our list because it's along the lines of Marty, in a way, we're all for it :)

No no no
The industry was not allowed to show people together in bed
It wasn’t that back then they had two beds
The people who control and sensor movies and tv would not allow it
He won the academy award for Marty

They didn’t have long lifespans back then. Seventy was considered very old
I love her voice
