Sally Field in Murphy's Romance (1985)

Goofs

Murphy's Romance

Edit

Continuity

When Murphy visits Emma in the hospital, the items on the patient's tray beside her bed keep changing throughout the scene.
When Murphy and Emma return from their walk in the hospital, he tells her she only has one problem - her hospital gown is open all the way down her back. Earlier though, when they are leaving the room to take their walk, her gown is open only a few inches near the bottom.

Revealing mistakes

Emma walks out of the kitchen, holding Murphy's birthday cake with lit candles. Not one single person sang, "Happy Birthday."

Audio/visual unsynchronised

When Emma Moriarty's son Jake comes home from school, he gets off a school bus. The school bus is a 1970s-era Ford with the same engine used to power regular Ford pickups. The soundtrack plays the powerful engine of a 18-wheel tractor trailer which could be a Mack, Peterbilt, or Kenworth. Tractor trailer engines were not fitted to school buses.

Character error

Incorrectly 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.
The Bingo card checker calls the Bingo caller by his real actor name Henry (Henry Slate) rather than his character name Fred.
When Murphy Jones is playing the fiddle at the dance hall, his bow strokes and fingerings are totally unrepresentative of the music heard on the soundtrack. Obviously, James Garner doesn't know how to play the violin, and the sequence was over-dubbed.
When the city crew removes the parking meter in front of the pharmacy, Murphy's vintage Studebaker remains in the parking space. He would not have risked having his antique auto get damaged by flying concrete debris from the jackhammer.
