Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Ernest Borgnine as Marty lives up to all the promise he showed as the sadist in From Here to Eternity, and at the same time brilliantly shatters the type-cast he molded for himself in that picture.

A warm and winning film, full of the sort of candid comment on plain, drab people that seldom reaches the screen.

It does have doggy charm and a certain perceptiveness.

fresh:
Paddy Chayevsky's script, adapted from his own TV play, shows his flair for dialogue at its best, and the film manages to be touching, if minor.

It's a warm, human, sometimes sentimental and an enjoyable experience.
