Marty is one of my favorite movies, partly because I can identify somewhat with the title character. It was a surprise Oscar winner of Best Picture, and Best Actor for Borgnine, for 1955. The synopsis above says his mother ran his life, but I didn't see it quite that way. He loved his mother, and she him. Also, I think he was in his thirties. At any rate, it's a great movie, especially if you're in the mood for an old B&W movie without much excitement, but a great story nonetheless.
