Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2462588, member: 7511"] Wonderful post. I just watched [I]Marty[/I] last night on TCM, one of my favorite all-time movies made in 1955, in which two lonely souls with self-image problems, played by Ernest Borgnine & Betsy Blair find each other. Marty, played by Borgnine, is badgered by his so-called friends to dump Clara, played by Blair, who they ridicule for her looks. In the end Marty rejects his friends cruel insensitivity and chooses to be with Clara. The picture was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, winning 4 including Best Picture and Best Actor (Borgnine). It had immense appeal in its day and still resonates today because there are a lot more Marty's and Clara's out there than there are people with perfect looks and body types. [/QUOTE]
