Movie Info
Emma (Sally Field), a divorced single mother seeking to start her life over, moves to a small town in Arizona. She builds a relationship with Murphy (James Garner), the older local pharmacist but, due to his age, it remains platonic. Their friendship becomes complicated when Emma's ex-husband, Bobby Jack (Brian Kerwin), shows up. He claims to have changed his ways, but when he turns out to be the same man Emma divorced, she discovers her true feelings for Murphy.

There's a certain charm to this movie that I find irresistible. I've seen it multiple times and each screening gives me pleasure. Sally Field is super as the independent, divorced mother trying to start new life in a small town. James Garner is perfectly cast and we should all be thankful the studio backed down from its demand to have the role played by Marlon Brando.

This fall-spring relationship may be a little bit difficult to understand but James Garner ends up being charming enough to win over Sally Field. One suspects this is due to a lack of options. Very sweet rather than creepy.

I think the best thing about this movie was Corey Haim.He seemed to have so much potential.I remember him being on the cover of all the teen magazines when I was a little kid.Maybe if some director took another chance on him, He could've had a break out role & things would've been different today.Who knows? 2 & a 1/2 stars just for Corey

Very good movie :) A nice movie to watch on a rainy day when there's nothing else to do. Gardner & Field were great in this movie :)
