Murphy's Romance

Deze film met Sally Field heeft geen Nederlandstalige ondertiteling. Emma Moriarty (Sally Field) is a 33-year-old, divorced mother who moves to a rural Arizona town to make a living by training and boarding horses. She becomes friends with the town's pharmacist, Murphy Jones (James Garner), a widower. A romance between them seems unlikely because of Murphy's age and because Emma allows her ex-husband, Bobby Jack Moriarty (Brian Kerwin), to move back in with her and their 12-year-old son Jake (Corey Haim). Emma struggles to make ends meet, but is helped by Murphy, an idiosyncratic widower. While refusing to help her outright with charity or personal loan, Murphy buys a horse with her assistance and pays to board it with Emma, while encouraging others to do the same. He also provides emotional support for Emma and Jake. A rivalry develops between Murphy and Bobby Jack. This competition continues until Bobby Jack's newest girlfriend appears with their newborn twin sons. At the end, Murphy and Emma choose to pursue a relationship.
