“How Do You Like Your Eggs?”
Murphy’s Romance is a pleasant easy to take movie about a May – October romance between widower James Garner and younger divorcée Sally Field. It’s set in modern day Texas and it moves with grace of a gazelle and the speed of a Galapagos tortoise. And that’s not meant in a negative way.Sally Field with the ink barely dry on her divorce from Brian Kerwin has moved to a small Texas town where she’s now acquired a ranch which could use a lot of improvement. She’s got her son Corey Haim in tow and they aim to start anew.
The first and best friend they make in town is 60 year old James Garner, the local druggist. He’s part of a disappearing breed in that he owns his own pharmacy. Given the way things are 23 years after Murphy’s Romance, Garner’s store if it still is operating is probably part of chain now, even in small town America.
A steady reliable guy like Garner is all any girl could wish for, but ambling back into the picture is Kerwin who swears on a stack of Bibles he’s a changed man. Why he’s even a born again Christian.
The man knows how to ring her bell, but that’s about all he’s good for. In fact he furnishes his own proof before the film ends.
James Garner got his only Oscar nomination and I remember how much I wanted him to win that night watching the Oscars. It would have been great, but William Hurt won for Kiss of the Spider Woman. Murphy’s Romance got one other nomination for cinematography, but it lost to the year’s Best Picture, Out of Africa.
Murphy’s Romance is a tender and touching story about a couple of mature people, one a bit more mature than the other finding true love. As Garner says this is his last love and Field responds this is her first. It’s a film for romantics of any age.
Cute funny movie with Garner in top form
This is such a cute movie! I remember seeing it when I was a senior in high school and absolutely loving it. I’m a big fan of Jim Garner and romantic comedies. This is just a totally feel-good movie. Garner’s dialog and character are perfect. His words are so snappy and funny. Oh, to find a man like Murphy in real life… It was interesting to find out that Garner and Sally Field are really only 18 years apart. He was 56 and she was 38 when they made it. I watch it whenever it’s on TV. I hate the way they edit it though. They took out one of the best lines, “How do you like your eggs, Murphy?” Why? I highly recommend this film.
