Marty stars Ernest Borgnine, and it won the 1955 Academy Award for Best Picture along with three other Oscars, so I figured I should watch it.
My five-sentence summary:
Marty’s gonna run a fine butcher shop some day.
Lonely Marty finally meets a girl who’s a “dog” just like he is.
Marty’s cousin and his wife get their nagging mother-in-law to move in with Marty and his mom.
And Marty’s friends and his mom don’t like “dog” girl.
But Marty’s gonna call the girl again anyways!
Hmmm … some touching moments, but not my cuppa joe.
