Product Description

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

It's a great movie. Romantic storyline with a country theme and no blood and guts. I love watching "Mr Rockford Files"

JAMES GARNER!! SALLY FIELD!! A quiet, sweet story about relationships and self esteem, without letting you know that's what it's about at all.
By Josh
Format:DVD
James Garner as Murphy is smart, confident, capable, wise and one class act. He is truly one of the greatest characters of all-time. This film is very romantic and the ending is brilliant. I have shown it to four friends and they all fell in love with the movie.
This is a subtle movie and if you like things obvious and over the top then you might miss the point of this one.

Garner meets a Field of dreams
Well, nobody got shot, nothing got blown up, there's no nudity or excessive swearing. Then how could this be one of the greatest sleeper movies of the late 20th century? Read more
