Most Overrated Films of All Time?

The 1955 Borgnine version of 'Marty' is a piece of Sh_t, no question about it.

It's too bad you didn't see the original version with Rod Steiger and Nancy Marchand first, which aired on NBC's Philco Television Playhouse in 1953. If you live in the Los Angeles area you could probably rent it at Eddie Brandt's Saturday Matinee, but it's probably too late for you. By that I mean, once a movie/story has been ruined for you by watching an inferior production the first time around, you may be hard pressed to enjoy ANY version. That's a shame.

It was the same thing with "Requiem for a Heavyweight." The Playhouse 90 television version (Live) was absolute perfection staring Jack Palance, Ed and Keenan Wynn. Then six years later in 1962 they decide to turn it into a movie and re-cast it with Anthony Quinn...geez.
