You may have seen him in McHale's Navy, but did you ever see his Oscar-winning performance in Marty?
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is giving you the chance to see that milestone in Ernest Borgnine's career, along with many of his other films, in a 24-hour marathon on July 26.
Get up early, because the films start rolling featuring Borgnine, who died Sunday at the age of 95, at 6 a.m. (ET) with The Catered Affair (1956).
The daytime lineup will include Torpedo Run (1958), Ice Station Zebra (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967).
Primetime will kick off with an encore presentation of TCM's 2009 special Private Screenings: Ernest Borgnine, an hour-long, in-depth interview with the actor and TCM host Robert Osborne.
It will be followed by Marty (1955), as well as memorable roles in films like From Here to Eternity (1953), The Wild Bunch (1969) and Bad Day at Black Rock (1955).
"He was a joy to be around," says Osbourne in the release. "Thank heavens for film. Ernie may have left us physically, but we'll have his talent and film image with us forever."
