Paddy Chayevsky's script, adapted from his own TV play, shows his flair for dialogue at its best, and the film manages to be touching, if minor.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
It does have doggy charm and a certain perceptiveness.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh
A warm and winning film, full of the sort of candid comment on plain, drab people that seldom reaches the screen.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Fresh
Ernest Borgnine as Marty lives up to all the promise he showed as the sadist in From Here to Eternity, and at the same time brilliantly shatters the type-cast he molded for himself in that picture.
