Marty (1955) Movie Reaction | FIRST TIME WATCHING | Film Commentary & Trivia | * It's Me! *

[@MoviesWithMarty]

Hi all! Just to make you aware that the version of "Marty" (1955) that I watched here was the UK Blu-Ray (Region 2) physical media release and doesn't include the scene with Clara's parents in the film. It is also apparently not technically a "deleted scene", but just wasn't included MGM Vintage Classics VHS and DVD versions. However, it was included in the CBS FOX VHS and the 2014 Kino Lorber releases. That being said, I don't know why it wasn't included on my version. Maybe it was due to a regional discrepancy during distribution, possibly due to using a specific version created for Region 2. Just unfortunately, the one I have doesn't include the scene in the film. Hence why I called it a "deleted scene". Special thanks to @okay5045 for making me aware of this scene being included in other versions! Have a lovely day and thank you so much for watching!

[@JeffarryLounder]

Marty is one of few movies that actually deserved a sequel. It was honestly so good.

[@AlanRogers250]

I didn't get married until I was 34. I was a fat kid and had weight problems my whole life . Finally I had surgery to lose weight and finally felt good about myself. My self confidence went up and I met a girl. She is ten years younger. But we're about to have our 39th anniversary. We have two children and four grandchildren. It's been a good life.

[@CynthiaHenley-g8z]

Hum... I was telling a similar story it feels good to be a winner in my life

You just gotta be ballsy and have confidence in yourself. That’s all it takes to tell you the truth.

[@bighuge1060]

I watch this movie two or three times a year. This was around the time my parents dated and married. My father was also a butcher in New York (although Queens instead of the Bronx). Even the Knickerbocker beer sign in the title shot is something my father used to drink in the day. I adore this movie.

[@celladora31]

Yes! Marty watches Marty! My life is now complete.

[@billolsen4360]

He is one of the best movie reviewers on youtube. Wish some of those snotty professional movie reviewers could be more like this guy.

[@savannah65]

This was a low budget movie, but it won Best Picture at the Academy Awards, and Ernest Borgnine won the award as Best Actor.

[@billolsen4360]

2:00 Living in one of these big city neighborhoods where the families and their kids never move out is just like living in the small town where I grew up. Everybody knows your business and offers unsolicited advice on how you should be all week long. I remember when I got in my teens, my grandmother lived several states away and would write us weekly letters always with obituaries inside and "Remember her/him?" in blue ink at the top.

[@philipfraietta3422]

The movie was set in the Belmont Section of the Bronx. The opening scene showed Arthur Avenue which even today has some of the best Italian butchers, deli's, pastry, bakeries, restaurants etc.in all of NYC. I was born there but my parents left the neighborhood in 1970 when I was 10 years old. The one of many things I found amazing about the movie was how vibrant and safe the Bronx was back in 1955. I remember asking my parents who got married at the Stardust Ballroom back in 1958 if the depiction was real and they swore to me it was

[@cjc4765]

My whole family used to go there. West Farms, Stardust Ballroom. My dads butcher shop was 6 ot 7 blocks away. That neighborhood became a hooker hangout and everything disappeared. They filmed two RKO scenes, one there the RKO Keith long out of business but they didn't tear the outside monstrosity down till about 2010 or so. The other RKO was on Fordham Road where they also filmed the Grand Concourse scenes.

[@jwes869]

You're 34? I assumed you were in your twenties. I met Ernest Borgnine at LAX (Los Angeles Airport) back in the early 2000's. He was a very nice guy. RIP. Thank you for this reaction!

[@jtt6650]

I love the old Italian ladies in this movie. I’ve known many in my lifetime and everything about them is perfect. “College girls are one step from the street!” Haha

[@fanofallmetal]

I love Marty! Great film. Great reaction. Every time I see this movie, I always feel bad for the baby actor, especially during the argument around 38:05 in this video. Poor kid is wide-eyed at all these screaming grown-ups. Anyway, I'm glad to have found your channel. New sub!

[@olivegreenpants7153]

I know 34 seems young now,but, back then it was starting to get up there. My grandfather died in 1961 at 45. So when this movie was made he was only 5 years older than Marty

[@laurab68707]

Such a great film. Ernest Borgnine is incredible. Everybody's Raving. Love your reactions Marty. So glad you watch the older films. They are so good and many out there to enjoy.

[@lynettepaulsen7119]

Everybody's raving I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your reactions. This movie in particular shows your character, your tenderness and caring, during and after the movie. You're just so lovely with such a good heart.

[@jaybain4337]

Wow Marty (you!) I am very glad to have watched this video to the very very end. That's so touching and something that can't be detected by the algorithm - but it can be felt by the heart!. Nice job I look forward to more of your videos homie!

[@slingblade6858]

Ernest B. played some of the meanest bad guys ever. Bad Day at Black Rock, Emperor of the North, and From Here to Eternity showcase his villainous alter ego. Great reaction! Everybody's raving.

[@cjc4765]

While they were filming Bad Day at BR, they were doing auditions for Marty. Ernest told Tracy he would love to try out for it but wouldn't because he looked so raunchy while they were filming Black Rock. Tracy talked him into it. The kicker? Tracy was supposed to be a shoe in to win the award for BDABR. See the interview with Borgnine on KZbin. Interesting stuff.

[@scoots66]

Also, if you ever get around to watching "From Here to Eternity", Ernest Borgnine has a fantastic role in that as well. Only he plays a real S.O.B. in that one...

[@tomhaskett5161]

He played the stockade guard Fatso, and he killed Frank Sinatra!

[@handfuloftrains4781]

Everybody's raving! I just discovered your channel. This movie hits very close to home. I am a "Marty" with little hope of ever finding my Clara. But life goes on and I make the most of what I do have. Great reaction. I'm looking forward to watching more.

[@melenatorr]

Many years before I caught this lovely, simple movie, I watch Ernest Borgnine in a tv series, "McHale's Navy", where he plays a very different character. His co-star and antagonist in the series was Ralph, played by Frank Sutton. They were good friends; clearly!

[@auapplemac2441]

Also on "McHale's Navy" was the terrific comic actor Tim Conway best known for "The Carol Burnett Show".

[@okay5045]

The scene with Clara and her parents is in the movie I watch it all the time. It was never cut out. It was missing in the version you reviewed and I thought you cut it out for time. It is a very sweet scene.

[@MoviesWithMarty]

Hi! Oh... that's odd. Much appreciated you letting me know! The version I watched was from the UK Region 2 Blu-Ray physical media release, so had thought it was in full. After just checking regarding that scene, it turns out that it's actually included in the CBS FOX VHS and the 2014 Kino Lorber releases, but deleted from the MGM Vintage Classics VHS and DVD... it must be that the Region 2 version still doesn't include it... either way, thank you so much for letting me know. I'll pin your post! (If I can I will make a pinned post too, but not sure I can include both. If I can't I'll shout you out) *UPDATE: I originally pinned your comment, but did make mention of you in my new pinned post instead.

[@lynettepaulsen7119]

When it's ​shown on Turner Classic Movies, it's always with that scene intact. @MoviesWithMarty

[@jaybain4337]

Everybody's raving - just discovered this movie in my 50s. Would have loved watching this with my grandmother who undoubtedly saw this with my Dad! Also glad you included the deleted scene!

[@williambowman1660]

Great and heartfelt reaction. Impossible to explain to someone that has not seen this beautiful film why it is great. No action scenes , real dialogue about normal life. Everything happens over a short time and no one iconic scene but…. After watching this, everybody is raving about this masterpiece. The satires always focused on the guys always asking , why do you wanna do… I don’t know, wanna you wanna do? So glad you enjoyed Marty and thank you for sharing your feelings bout the movie and it’s emotional message about what matters in life.

[@marlasotherchannel9847]

Everybody's Raving. I loved that you mentioned Jerry Orbach, whom I adore, he is dancing, briefly, in one of the ballroom shots, wearing a dark suit, wish I could point it out to you. Burt Lancaster produced several films including "Sweet Smell of Success" 1957, a great film noir. I'm glad someone mentioned "Quiz Show" 1997 as it uses "Marty" as a key plot point. Keep up the great work Marty!

[@etherealtb6021]

OMG, this movie always makes me cry and then you made me cry! This is still one of the best movies ever about how painful dating is! I think that's why so many people did and still relate to it!

[@michaelwalsh1035]

The script for this film couldn't be tighter. It's a great piece of work. It's personally a very special film as my parents were married in 1955. My parents were Irish immigrants who came to Boston in the late 40s. They lived in villages very close to each other, and my father's sister lived next door to my mum's family, but they never had anything going together in Ireland. They got together in the Irish immigrant dance halls in Boston. All of that history makes Marty a movie to rave about for me!

[@johnclawed]

At 26:32 I saw the storefront of Babbin's Hardware & Supply, and I knew it must have been real because they didn't build fake storefronts for movies until the 80's (unless it was a set of another time). So I googled the name: "Babbin's Hardware & Supply stood at 3530-3536 White Plains Road, at the intersection with E. 211th Street. The business closed in 2001." Being a New Yorker, I love movies like The French Connection with their authentic street scenes, but it's good to see real locations anywhere. That's one reason to love the TV show Route 66.

[@WholeLottaLoveHandles]

In 1955, Ernest Borgnine was 38. Marty, the movie, was released in April of 1955. He wasn’t actually 34. @16:24

[@MoviesWithMarty]

Thank you Mark, very much appreciated for the information! I'd only seen the info on the character "Marty" being 34, but was amazed at the coincidence in just that. Thank you for watching too. I hope you enjoyed

[@deborahh2556]

I just love this movie! The two women, mother and aunt are such interesting characters. They remind me of my own grandmothers.

[@holliesheet3182]

Subbed ! Appreciate your reaction! "MARTY" is timeless; the curious, the want, the need, the unopened envelpe of passions with and wiithout the greeds and is wholesome and adult in such a way that communicates the universal desire to be fulfilled. ( my humble jumble opionion )

[@meganlutz7150]

A wonderful reaction. Everybody’s raving. Thank you Marty !

[@MoviesWithMarty]

Thank you so much Megan! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you're well

[@cjc4765]

I saw them filming part of this when I was 6. The Address of this restaurant was 566 E. 187 st.Bronx NY. Long gone. In 1974 that restaurant Michaels, was bought by Joe Denti, renamed Amicis and Joe Pesci started working there playing Guitar from Table to table. I became best friends with him and Denti. I opened a deli right across the street a we got together daily.I have pictures of us having parties after wedding rehearsals when I was 3. More trivia. 2 years before this was filmed, Lee Harvey Oswald lived about 1 mile or so away on 179th street. When his mother decided to move he would go back and sleep in the Bronx Zoo because he loved the zoo which was about 1/4 mile away from this restaurant. Heading there soon for the food festival Ferragosto. Sept 8th 2024.

[@auapplemac1976]

“What do ye want to do? I don’t know, wadia want to do Marty?” Became a catch phrase for a while after this movie opened.

[@okay5045]

This is a wonderful movie . Ernest Borgnine won an Oscar for this role.rhis movie is truly emotional.

[@talltulip]

This movie has some things in commom with a little-known film called "Dogfight," from 1991, starring River Phoenix.

[@fruzsimih7214]

Yeah, I also thought about that! Nobody knows that movie, but it's a very sweet love story about a group of soldiers going to Vietnam. They have a bet on their last night in the US who can bring the ugliest date. One of the girls (Lili Taylor) realizes the situation after some time and calls her soldier (River Phoenix) out on it. The two connect and fall in love on that same night.

[@brentwebster6164]

Fun Fact: This is the shortest Best Picture winner at the Oscars. This is one of my very favorite movies. It's a commentary on the contrasting expectations of society, his friends, his mother, the community. It's a commentary on the difficulties of dating. It's also an unspoken commentary (by being the opposite) of all the glitz-and-glamour romance movies we typically get from Hollywood films.

[@jamesacoffey9006]

When the movie came out, no major distributor wanted to distribute it, as Betsy Blair was blacklisted (it was still the MacCarthy era). They changed their mind when her husband, Gene Kelly, threatened to quit Hollywood - that was a loss they couldn't afford, since she was the No 1 musical star - so the movie found its way to the big audience...

Tomato is slang for a girl. NY 1950s. Betsy Blair was the wife of Gene Kelly from 1941 till 1957. Everybody is raving....

Think they were all feeling their own stuff..jealousy.. tops..not wanting to give up control... Fear of loneliness... 1950s was a great time...but womens roles were home and family...lack of outside interest was a high percentage... But thd reactions to doing what everyone kept telling Marty to do ...and his seeing a young pretty lady ...they lost their role Realizing without knowing...their projecting their baggage on both of them Parents do not own their children..very unhealthy Childhood is constant preparation to grow to leave home and parents, siblings.. I Enjoy this movie so much. I waa 10 yrs old at this time . Great acting...Ernest Borgnine Was a great actor in many movies They are missed...of this era ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey Marty! Everybody's raving! Great reaction, as always. I hadn't watched this film for at least a couple of decades and it was nice to revisit it with you. In my book you're the very best reactor to classic films on KZbin and it's always a pleasure to watch favorite old movies with you.

[@rocketdave719]

Everybody's raving. In the 2006 Jeff Garlin movie I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, he plays a down on his luck actor who unsuccessfully tries to audition for a remake of Marty, only to be told that the studio has already cast teen idol Aaron Carter in the lead, despite him obviously being totally unsuitable for the role. Near the end of the film, Garlin goes to see the remake in a theater, and it's hilarious watching Carter as Marty despairingly describing himself as "a fat, ugly man."

Don’t worry Marty, Ernest Borgnine looks at least 10 years older than 34 and you look 10 years younger. 😊

[@josheldridge8546]

this was a teleplay that got adapted as a film-- somewhere is the original tv version with rod steiger in one of his first roles.

[@MoviesWithMarty]

Thank you so much Josh! I didn't know it was one of his first roles. I know he turned down the role in this film due to not wanting to do multiple pictures with the contract. Plus, Hecht and Lancaster said that they did not want to cast Steiger, as they thought the public wouldn't want to see the same actor that they could see for free on TV. I include some of the TV version and some of that trivia after my review of it at the end. (The full version of that TV version is available on physical media, but someone's posted it here on KZbin too). Thank you Josh! It's very much appreciated and thank you for watching too!

[@rg3388]

Everybody's raving! Delighted to see this reaction and its wonderful production value. Great film. I've always seen versions of this film that include the "deleted" scene. In one installment of Esquire magazine’s annual Dubious Achievement Awards, it was noted that Ernest Borgnine was married to Ethel Merman for 6 weeks. The title of this entry was “I don’t know, Marty. Wudda YOU feel like doin’.” I always see Gilda Radner in Marty’s Aunt Catherine. I always think of this film when Mickey Spillane is mentioned in FULL METAL JACKET. The film also factors into the film QUIZ SHOW. I suppose the appropriate joke would be to respond to all comments by saying, “I don’t wanna talk about it!”

[@jacquespoulemer]

Hi Marty. Everybody's Raving? Here's a bit of trivia I thought you could add to your collection. Tomato is American slang for a pretty girl. It began in the 1920s. Borgnine rhymes with the number 9. Ernest Borgnine had a long career after this. He had a tv sitcom in the 60s, McHale's Navy. And did the voice for Mermaid Man in Spongebob Squarepants. I've always loved this Movie too. Thanks, Marty for sharing about your friend, I think it's time for me to compose some emails to the folks who have been dear to me for so many years. hugs to you in the UK.

The reason everyone was getting on Marty's case at the beginning about getting married is that family was EXTREMELY important to Italian-Americans (as well in general) back during that time, as well as carrying on the family legacy and surname. That's why his mother was worried about Marty dying without a son. It was a source of shame for someone like Marty. To be unmarried at 34 back then was a stigma, even for a man. People figured you had a severe character flaw if you weren't married by then.

[@Fjuncaj]

@@scoots66 as an Albanian-American man, myself mobile and especially being close proximity to Italy itself, there’s a lot of cultural stuff that we share. Many cultures of the Mediterranean persuasion. I definitely know have the same and pressures. Will tell you all your life that you need to get married, you’re gonna be happy, when are you gonna give me some grand children, blah, blah blah. In some cases, especially my case, and Marty‘s case, you find a girl that you believe might be good for you and you guys get along and all of a sudden no one likes her and they make excuses. The best part is that Marty decides to develop a backbone thanks to the vaccine Injections, a.k.a. his shitty friends and his shitty aunt and his lovely mother.

I'll say this - when you turn thirty and haven't found anyone you have to hustle. Most of the good ones are already married and you'll have to sift through a lot of dangerously broken people in order to find someone worth marrying.

[@positivelynegative9149]

I first saw this film a few years ago. It hit me hard when he said, "And one fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it.". I'm 46 now. I know there won't be a Clara for me. 😔 And no other type of women either. I can't even have fun before I wither away. 😖

[@scoots66]

The good news bro is that this is 2024, where you can still have a happy & decent life as a single man. I'm 57, and I don't have a Clara either and at this point I really don't want one. When I turned 50 I gave up, and I've since learned to be happy just making friends on the golf course, over the chess board, and online. Being close to God also helps a LOT. I'm very contented coming home to peace & quiet while other guys I know went through divorces and breakups and are just miserable. Wishing peace and joy for you my friend.

[@tomreichardt6044]

One of the interesting things about Clara (perhaps unrealistic) is that she is willing to date well below her social and economic status. In doing so she accepts that she is not a 10. Today, that level of honest self-knowledge is a remarkable (and attractive) quality in a woman. Marty has always been a favorite of mine, but of course, everybody raves about Marty.

Even though I obviously know the outcome of the war, listening to this always sparks fear as if it's actually happening in the present.

Thank you Soraya, that's very helpful! It seems I pronounced it correct the very first time in the video, but was so unsure and kept changing it 😅 Thank you so much for watching!

@MoviesWithMarty Thanks for your reply. I'm enjoying your channel. Especially the follow-ups after you watch the movie. ❤️

Borgnine (like the Borg in _Star Trek_ plus the number 9).

BTW, it’s pronounced Borg-nine same as the number 9. Very moving review. Love that you don’t talk over the dialogue. Thanks for that.
