1955
★ 3.4 editorial score
It holds both Best Picture and the Palme d'Or, which only three other films manage: a Bronx butcher who has given up on meeting anybody meets somebody, and it runs ninety-three minutes.
“Lonely boy meets lonely girl. Lonely boy takes lonely girl to meet his mama and then he takes her home. All the next day, he bears the criticism of his suddenly jealous mother and his friends...our hero breaks through the inhibitions of his fearful and inferior attitudes. He poignantly recognizes someone just as lost and desperate as he. And he amusingly and bravely grabs for her over the pitiful scoffing of his friends.”
