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 Eternityand 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.
