There's an old-fashioned haze to this Arizona romance that provides James Garner with his most `character-ful' leading role in a long while, and won him an Oscar nomination. Sally Field plays another of her now-familiar gutsy women of the outdoors as the divorcee who heads west to start a horse-training ranch (and a new life) with her 12-year-old son. She's befriended by widower Garner and has trouble with her ex-husband. It all works well enough, with Garner's laid-back charm making you wonder why the cinema always allowed him to slip back to the small screen. There's a nice running gag, too, about him refusing to reveal his age and the dialogue provides a few more warm chuckles along similar lines.
