- 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 low-key romantic comedy that pairs Sally Field with James Garner, and proves that the two actors have a great deal of chemistry together.
Sally Field is a newly-divorced mom setting up house with her son. Garner is a good 'ol boy who takes a hankering to her and promises to be a positive male influence. The doofus stud of an ex-husband makes a nuisance of himself. Guess who Field winds up with?
The film rides along harmlessly enough on the personalities of its two leads.
Won Oscar nominations for Garner and its cinematography.
Grade: B+
