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
This is my all time favorite video. Sally Fields and Jim Garner are two of my favorite actors.When I am feeling low or want a laugh I put it on.

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.
