Did you know
- TriviaSally Field once said on the A&E television show James Garner: Hollywood Maverick (2000) that her kissing scene with Garner in this picture was the best on-screen kiss she had ever had.
- GoofsIncorrectly Regarded as Goofs: When Murphy and Emma return from their walk in the hospital, he tells her that her hospital gown is open all the way down her back. This is an example of Murphy's humor; he is simply joking with Emma.

Featured review
A really good movie!
I love this movie. I have watched it numerous times, and I still love it! It is one of those "feel good" movies that we seldom see anymore. No violence, no sex, no "strong language", etc. Just a strong woman, and a strong man, gradually falling in love. No negatives at all. If you want to watch a pleasant movie, and go to bed feeling happy, watch this. James Garner and Sally Field both play very non-Hollywood types, and we love them all the more for it. (Watch for the scene where they are dancing - it is hysterical!)
