A Quote to Start Things Off
We have two lives; the life we learn with and the life we live after that.”
― Bernard Malamud, The Natural
On April 11th 1955, The Film Marty premiered. It would go on to be nominated for 8 Academy Awards and win 4 Best Film. Best Director: Delbert Mann, Best Actor: Ernest Borgnine and Best Screenplay: Paddy Chayefsky.
Chayefsky's screenplay was adapted from a television play he wrote which was performed live in The Philco Television Hour in 1953. Each Tuesday in June at 6:30 A.M. central I will be posting a section from the television program with some fun facts at the end. Since I am showing these in serialized fashion, and showing them in the a.m., I am calling them Breakfast Serials.
