More About This Product

Overview

Newly divorced Emma Moriarty Sally Field moves herself and her young son to a small Arizona town, hoping to establish a horse farm. Town pharmacist Murphy Jones James Garner, the town's most eligible bachelor, develops a platonic friendship with Emma, but he decides to keep his distance when her ex-husband Bobby Jack Brian Kerwin, who claims he's changed his irresponsible ways, moves back in with her. At a party at Emma's ranch, Murphy and Bobby Jack get into a verbal row, but nothing is settled until Wanda Anna Levine shows up with two babies in tow, claiming that Bobby Jack is the father. Once rid of her ex, Emma commisserates with her friend Murphy at his drug store--and is quite surprised to discover that she's fallen in love with the older man, and he with her. Murphy's Romance is a very gentle romantic comedy; even Murphy's cast-away lady friend Georgann Johnson behaves like a civilized human being instead of a woman scorned.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide
This pleasing romantic comedy was surprisingly light fare from director Martin Ritt. Though it contains little evidence of the social commentary of such Ritt productions as The Great White Hope or The Front, Murphy is set in the director's favorite milieu: rural America. The film's unhurried pace and genuine performances successfully capture the feel of bucolic, small-town life. James Garner earned his first Oscar nomination for a typically good-humored turn as the title character. Sally Field, who won her first Academy Award in Ritt's Norma Rae, is similarly charming.

    Awesome!

    This is a wonderful movie! Love, and friendship, but no sex, no violence, and only language as needed. When I was newly divorced, this movie inspired me to be a stronger woman! I will watch this a hundred times, and love it every time!
