A favorite for years

I watch old movies frequently, many of them classics from the 30s. This is one of the recent ones. As another review put it, James Garner makes this movie. My favorite scene is the one in which Emma (Sally Fields) is eating an ice cream cone with her son (Corey Haim before he got into all the trouble), and sees Murphy (James Garner) playing the fiddle at a Saturday night dance in town. As the band takes a break (to let everyone go to the bathroom, he tells Emma), he steps outside for a brief visit. She has already met him when she leaves a poster in his drug store. A lot of the back story is effortlessly provided in that short scene. We learn he is a widower, he is popular with the ladies and he is a fixture in the town. We learn his age (I'm a grand daddy) and a lot of the plot gets going right there. Eventually, they get together and I agree with another reviewer that Brian Kerwin does a wonderful job with the role of the shiftless but likable ex-husband. This is a classic and I've probably watched it 100 times.

Best romance ever!!!

They shouldn't make a good romantic pairing, but somehow James Gardner and Sally Fields are perfect. It's an old fashion romance movie. Perfect if your not looking for a sex in your face movie. You can actually watch this in front of kids.

Murphy's Romance Review and Music Question

I actually went to the movies to see this folks! I enjoyed it throughly. At first I said here we go again... older man,younger woman but as I watched the movie and got into the plot, I could understand how something like that happens. I have always liked Sally Field and James Garner. It is a wonderful movie, a good love story, and well acted. One night last week, I happened to catch the end of this movie on TV and was reminded of how much I like the music. Not just the song sung by Carol King, but the instrumental part too. I will never understand why this kind of music is so hard to find. I am also having a hard time finding the instrumental piece used in Gumpy Old Men. Why is this so difficult? If anyone knows where I could get the music outside of copying it from the movie I would be so greatful.

A comedy-romance not to be missed. The chemistry between Sally Field and James Garner is tangible. And the unforgettable ending ... "How do you like your eggs?"

Add this movie to your collection. You will be delighted.

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
