Amazon.com: Director Martin Ritt (Norma Rae) helmed this offbeat romance that earned costar James Garner an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a widowed druggist who befriends a confused divorcee (Sally Field) and her son, who move to a small rural town to start over. The laid-back performance of Garner as a man finding love "for the last time in his life" contrasts wonderfully with Field's portrayal of a woman scared and unsure of what the future may hold for her, and the two of them together exhibit great comic timing. As well written and as deftly performed as any movie of its type, Murphy's Romance will rope you in with its winning style. --Robert Lane
Murphy's Romance Murphy's Romance: A light entertaining film. James G. and Sally F. are perfect as usual. We first saw this on a long tour bus trip and the whole group loved it, even on a minute screen. RMN
Murphy's Romance This is one of my all time favorite movies, I have watched it over and over. It is a good clean movie, with no nudity or profanity and yet is heartwarming. You cannot go wrong with James Garner and Sally Field, it is excellently done.
Just a good "feel-good" Living not far from Florence, AZ when this was filmed, and being a fan of both James Garner and Sally Field, this was a natural for me. I liked it a lot when it was released and decided it was one of those I'd like to have on hand. So much violence on the screen these days, it's nice to settle in and smile through an entire movie!
Eternal Hope for Love When you're down and out, knowing love is only found in the imagination, this movie will give you hope. It addresses many topics of today's life: single parenting, divorce, dating again, small town gossip, starting over, and more. It is definitely a "chick flick" but men tend to enjoy it, too. Sally Fields and James Garner definitely have the chemistry on screen. This is one of my favorites.
Love it! Murphy's Romance I saw this movie years back when it first came out. I loved it then and still do. It's one of those movies that stands the test of time. Sally Fields and James Garner make an unlikely but powerhouse romantic couple. You laugh and maybe even shed a few tears, but you're left with a 'feel-good' feeling long after watching. I would highly recommend it.
