Cinema Cemetery Episode 29: Marty (1955)


Listen Later

“And one fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it.” Meet Marty, local butcher in the Bronx still unmarried at the ripe old age of 34.  This simple film (only 90 minutes, the shortest of all the Best Pictures!) follows Marty over 36 hours as he meets Clara, a woman abandoned by her blind date.  While he is initially hopeful, Marty’s mother and friends are not so welcoming.  Based on a 1953 teleplay, this movie continues to stand the test of time…though will it live up to Cinema Cemetery’s standards?  Find out now!
