Details

Marty (1955) is an American drama directed by Delbert Mann and starring Ernest Borgnine and Betsy Blair. Esther Minciotti, Augusta Ciolli, Karen Steele, Jerry Paris, and Joe Mantell round out the cast.

Marty (Borgnine) is an Italian-American butcher who lives in the Bronx with his mother (Minciotti). As a 34-year-old bachelor, Marty is constantly badgered by friends and family about his still being single. They even point out that all his siblings are married, some with children. Marty would like to get married but he’s been disappointed by his dwindling prospects.
