Murphy's Romance (1985) starring Sally Field, James Garner, Brian Kerwin, Corey Haim. Low-key story in which divorcee Emma (Field) moves to small town, is attracted to older, laid back pharmacist Murphy (Garner) -- and the feeling is mutual. Some dramatic tension sets in when her ex-husband (Kerwin) drops in, hoping to stay. But he's a thief and he cheats at cards, so there's never much doubt that he's going to be vanquished. Interestingly, Field is 39, playing 33, while Garner is 57, playing 60. This movie really ends strongly. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: A-
