MARTY
July 26, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Tonight is TCM’s memorial tribute to the late Ernest Borgnine, an evening that begins at 8 p.m. ET with a biographical Private Screenings special of the famed character actor. That’s followed by this 1955 production of Marty (pictured), the Paddy Chayefsky story about a lonely butcher – the movie version, not the original live TV drama, which starred Rod Steiger. That’s followed at 10:45 p.m. ET by 1953’s From Here to Eternity – and set your recorders for 1 a.m. ET, when Borgnine holds his own as one of the many tough guys in Sam Peckinpah’s violent 1969 Western, The Wild Bunch.
