Happy Anniversary to Marty!

 Today Amy and I have been married for 27 years.  We are spring chickens when compared to Marty  and Clara whose romance begin for film goers 70 years ago today.  April 11th 1955 was the premiere of the film Marty starring Ernest Borgnine.  


To celebrate this special event I have 5 videos t share:


1: An analysis of the film


2. An actor's remembrance of Ernest Borgnine


3. Borgnine's Oscar acceptance speech upon winning Best Actor for Marty


4. deleted scenes from Marty

5. Ernest Borgnine discussing the film


The film Marty has always been an important film to Amy and myself.  We first learned of it in the Robert Redford directed Quiz Show where the film Marty  is an integral part of the exposition of the main conflict of Quiz Show.  That led us to watching Marty which quickly became one of our favorites.  Now that we know that we share the same anniversary we may make watching it part of own celebration.
