Marty is one of the most-understated winners of the Best Picture Oscar there's ever been. And at just 90 minutes long, it's also the shortest. Director Delbert Mann's film has a heavy layer of sadness, yet also has plenty of uplift and hope. Paddy Chayefsky wrote him a simple story and Mann tells it quite effectively. Sparks fly when Ernest Borgnine meets Betsy Blair at a dance, but his friends and his mother turn up their nose at her. And that's the film. This is just a quiet, pleasant, day-in-the-life movie about regular people trying to find love and happiness. And beauty is what you make of it. So join Ryan doing the solo thing in this 497th episode as he tries not to *ahem* butcher the story of Marty.
