Marty (1955)

Watched Marty last night, a low-key story about a lonely butcher in the Bronx. I loved the back-and-forth between the title character and his friend trying to figure out what to do on a Saturday night, the characters of his mother and aunt, and this line:

Ma, whaddaya want from me? Whaddaya want from me? Iโ€™m miserable enough as it is. All right, so Iโ€™ll go to the Stardust Ballroom. Iโ€™ll put on a blue suit, and Iโ€™ll go. And you know what Iโ€™m gonna get for my trouble? Heartache. A big night of heartache.
