The Love of Cinema - Films of 1955: Marty

The boys get romantic in 1955 NYC, where a simple middle-aged 34-year-old butcher named Marty caves to societal pressures and calls up a lady. We discuss! The random year generator spun in 1955, and we decided to delve into Paddy Chayefsky’s pen when he wrote “Marty”, the Oscar and Palme D’Or-winning 90-minute slice of dramatic life film starring with Ernest Borgnine in his Academy Award-winning performance. Dave is Australian, so he was drinking Fosters, and John gave us a mini-review of Alien: Romulus-going, now that his Covid passed his 5-day window.
