Nov 8th - Reluctant bachelor Marty Piletti's birthday. One night he meets the "plain" science teacher Clara, and they hit it off. However, when he tells his friends, brothers and his mother about her, they belittle her.

📽️📅 Marty (1955)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Marty" (1955): First, a black-and-white image shows a man in a suit talking to a woman on a busy city street at night. The subtitle reads, "You know how long ago I graduated high school? June 1937." Second, in another nighttime street scene, the same man and woman continue walking. The man looks pensive as he says, "Where'd it all go? I'm gettin' old. I'm gonna be 35 years old November 8th. 35!"
