At 34, he's resigned himself to a lifetime of bachelorhood while his siblings have families of their own. Everything changes when he meets Clara (Betsy Blair), a schoolteacher who has also resigned herself to never finding love. Through each other, they find happiness.Nominated for eight Academy Awards, Marty won for Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Screenplay. It also received the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Book Ends: At the beginning, all the old ladies buying meat from Marty at the butcher shop pester him about getting married, saying "You should be ashamed of yourself" for still being single. At the end, Marty says the same thing to Angie before calling Clara.

Author Avatar: People who knew Paddy Chayefsky suspected that Marty was one. Chayefsky was also a stocky, socially-awkward guy from a blue-collar Bronx background.

Arc Words: Variations throughout on "What do you wanna do tonight?", reinforcing the aimlessness of Marty and his friends and the rut that Marty's stuck in.

Hypocritical Humor: Two of Marty's buddies are at the diner looking at a nudie magazine (it's called "Girls & Gags"). One of them says "They shouldn't sell magazines like this," and another says "Imagine what this does to adolescents." Both of them keep looking.
