CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Marty (Ernest Borgnine) calls a girl he once met for a date and after a painful blow off he finally takes the hint and sadly gives up.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Paddy Chayefsky's Oscar-winning slice-of-life drama originated as a live 1953 broadcast directed by Delbert Mann on The Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse starring Rod Steiger and Nancy Marchand. The Hecht-Lancaster movie version, also directed by Mann, replaces the two leads with Ernest Borgnine and Betsy Blair (as well as featuring several soon-to-be-familiar faces, including Jerry Paris, Frank Sutton, and Karen Steele, plus Joe Mantell, Nehemiah Persoff, and Betsy Palmer from the TV version). But it remains otherwise intact, telling of 24 very important hours in the lives of two lonely people. Marty is a bittersweet, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always realistic comedy-drama about Marty Pilletti (Ernest Borgnine), a 34-year-old Bronx butcher. Approaching middle-age as a burly, somewhat overweight man who has no illusions about himself or his attractiveness to women, Marty looks forward to just one thing in life -- buying his boss's butcher shop and trying to make a success in business -- and he's even uncertain about that. A gentle, good-natured man, he lives with his mother (Esther Minciotti), a kind but emotionally smothering woman, in a too-large house and spends his time a small circle of dead-end friends (Joe Mantell, Frank Sutton). One Friday night, Marty's mother convinces him to go to the Stardust Ballroom, where he meets a plain-looking schoolteacher named Clara (Betsy Blair), whose life appears to mirror his own -- she lives with her father, and is frightened about the one prospect she has for advancement in her job. Meeting her after witnessing a humiliating rejection by her blind date, Marty acts on his best impulses and asks Clara to dance, and soon they are actually enjoying each other's company. She is as drawn to him as he is to her, but both are so uncertain about putting themselves at risk emotionally, that the evening almost ends badly when he tries to kiss her -- but they agree to go to talk on the phone and go to a movie the next night. But whatever good feelings he has about Clara are soon threatened by his friends' put-downs of her, and his mother's hostility, driven by her sudden panic that if Marty marries, she'll be left living alone. Marty spends the next day alone and never does call Clara, seemingly having decided that it's best to leave well enough alone. That is, until he takes a good long look at his life, and a listen to his friends -- and he suddenly makes the decision to try for true happiness, wherever it leads.

some of us found a loophole though, honey heeeeeeeeeey

Such a great performance. You wince in pain as you see Marty's confidence being slowly decimated.

[@martinbench3657]

Great movie

[@logeyperogi1805]

When I heard him say “You know who I am” my heart cracked Just…the fact he had to remind her who he was…she wasn’t interested, she never would be Heart…broken

[@richarddambrosio3602]

Every man has suffered this humiliation at least once. Powerful scene.

[@viperakmal]

I suffered this a lot of times. But no one care though.

[@scottfree6479]

Man this is just what happens every time I like a girl. I'm just all out of ideas wtf to do. Tried everything it seems.

[@jackspry9736]

RIP Ernest Borgnine (January 24, 1917 - July 8, 2012), aged 95 You will be remembered as a legend.

[@hamburg1306]

Wow what Marty does here is very brave and you feel the pain in the rejection.

[@antwanjenkins6735]

This scene is beautifully well executed, it's the perfect representation of less is more, you don't even have to hear her voice to know what she said, cause Marty's responses and his facial expressions alone said it all. This scene hits deep because a lot of us have been there, especially some of us men. I too am a bit big and don't have what women want and seeing this scene was no different then seeing myself go through this and it hurts like hell.

[@MelancoliaI]

Buddy you nailed it. This scene is...wow. Ernest earned his Oscar.

[@robertferguson5503]

I genuinely cried at this scene

[@retro8696]

I did to because I've been here before and it hurts.

rest in peace, Mr. Borgnine. and thank you.

Happened to my husband a lot too. He thought he'd never find anybody. We were best friends married 20 years.

It still is to me. It still happens to me though, this is part 2/10. Oh Boy... And the part 3/10 of this says it all of what I felt.

[@chetanshinde8168]

You really didnt need to hear what she had to say..you can just guess it from his expressions..most of the good guys go through this a lot. We lose our self respect just for trying to meet someone. Great performance!!

[@lloydpassafume5357]

It’s the asking for next Saturday night that got me. 😞 I was in that same position. A movie that came out almost 70 years ago resonates today for so many lonely young men and women.

[@tomhaskett5161]

Yes, that hurt.

[@rosihantu1]

"Nothing makes men more self conscious than being rejected" Brootal

[@Ron71997]

Only unattractive guys get how painful this scene is.... getting rejected when you have so much hope that you may get a date... the sad realization when she says no so many times.

[@viperakmal]

I... Extremely agree. Well I have faced this lots of times...

[@LordZebra]

You can be a normal or even "attractive" and still be treated like this by women.its a hard reality to face

[@JohnTiernan-ri6gg]

The heartache and rejection is just not worth it.

[@neski311]

I'm about a 3-4 in the scale. Not that I'm very fond of it. Even if I max my looks, I can aim for being a 5 or even 6, but I got a feeling it won't change much. I'm still losing weight and getting in the best shape I can.

[@Ron71997]

@@neski311 keep focused and be your best!

[@Charlot1914]

The moment when he closes his eyes... he knew she was not interested, and still tried a couple of times just in case he was wrong! Powerful acting and nuances

[@grahambamford9073]

If your not tall, attractive or rich... dont bother making that call...... nearly 70 years later the majority of men learn this the hard way. Nothing changes.

[@joececcacci4879]

I think it was easy for Mr Borgnine to play Marty. Marty--loved his mother and family--Marty,good at his profession and having ambition to take it forward--Marty--a man with friends ---Marty a man who served his country when asked to do so--Marty a church going man--Marty a grown man missing a soul mate and coming to the realisation that he should just concentrate on himself for a change when the opportunity came forth--Marty Italian American and Borgnine Italian American. No Brainer for Ernest. --Joe

[@susanb2015]

And he fought for that role. He finally could play a nice guy and he got an Oscar for it.

[@MelancoliaI]

Rod Steiger actually played Marty first inthe original TV movie

As the saying goes "nice guys finish last" relayed in the 50s and even in this generation, good guys don't get the light of day in dating

[@MelancoliaI]

Before this, Borgnine was used to playing the heavy. The bad guy. Then he plays a total sweetheart, a true man and he *slaughters* us. He deserved his Oscar for this.

[@77loneranger]

How many guys have gone through this multiple times? Great acting by Borgnine.

How can there be a movie about my life story before I was even born...??

[@vincentthompson1608]

Even if the woman had said "Yes " to one of those Saturdays Marty suggested for a date you just know she would've backed out or cancelled long before the date. Great movie.

[@doejohn7548]

A movie I can relate to just found out about it watched and instantly became one of my favorites💯

[@pimpsonparade]

Jesus Christ it's so painful, even the way he hangs the phone up so quietly. It's that type of pain where you just want everything to be dead quiet because the pain is almost like a ringing between your ears telling you that everything is wrong right now, and you just want the rest of the world to fade away because everything else hurts badly enough and your head feels like it's about to explode.

[@kuntaboyky]

well yeah that's just what cringe feels like lmao

[@Ron71997]

Earnest has lived this scene in his personal life many times...the pain in his eyes and voice is to real for just acting. No wonder he won an academy award for this performance...Brilliant!

I have Been there just like rest of you guys. Won't lie, those were the moments I felt like dig a hole & hide. Oneday I started to ask myself, if I manage to convince her to be with me, would that make my life better? Would she ever respect or care for me? How can she possibly make my life better, while she will only consider me under the conditions of making her life easier & fun. & it helped me to focus on myself. & again, won't lie, I am happy now, that I am doing my dream job, where I get respected, i take care of my old man & lady, & I go to sleep happy.

There is no difference in being single in 1955 and in 2023. Nothing has changed . What is worse is being a single Dad and over 50. I have excepted the fact that i am going to be alone and probably die alone .That is after my kids are out on their own.

[@danielking1144]

Im so hurt

[@billtooke6642]

Interesting that Chayefsky wrote Network and was up against both Rocky and Taxi Driver. And of course Rocky (my favorite film) is a variant of Marty. And this scene has a DIRECT IMPRESSION on the scene where Betsy lets Travis down on the phone in Taxi Driver and how Travis is so crushed the camera pans away from him

[@andrewcomments5812]

This reminded me exactly of that scene in Taxi Driver.
