Lynne Marshall, ONE FOR THE ROAD and Mega Giveaways!

Today we are chatting with Lynne Marshall about her favourite romance movies of all time and her latest offering, ONE FOR THE ROAD!

So we give it over to Lynne.....

First off, I’d like to say what a pleasure it is to visit Nas Dean’s site again.  Nas is one incredibly supportive reader of romance, and as an author, I can’t thank her enough. 

When Nas asked me to blog I scratched my head and wondered what in the world I could talk about that might interest all the different tastes of romance readers.  Romance of course!  And since my current book features a slightly more mature couple – she’s 46 and he’s 42, I thought I’d feature above-the-normal age love stories. 

 Something we all relate to is cinema and love stories, and recently having seen Larry Crowne – the new Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts movie, I realized that more than a few movies these days star older couples.  So I decided to go back over time and post a list of older heroines (over forty) in fun or super romantic stories, in honor of my new book – One for the Road.

            One movie I didn’t include in this list is Julie and Julia, staring Amy Andrews and Meryl Streep, because the film’s focus was on the main character’s blog and how she cooked each of Julia Child’s recipes in a one year period.  However, I found the secondary story of Julia Child and her husband to be sweet and poignant.  They truly shared a deep and lasting, AND physical love.  I loved that movie!

            Now, without further adieu, here’s …

LYNNE MARSHALL’S TOP TEN ROMANTIC MOVIES FEATURING OLDER COUPLES (Listed chronologically)

  1. Adam’s Rib (Classic 1949) featuring Katharyn Hepburn and Spencer Tracy as married lawyers pitted against each other in a court case involving adultery.  He defends the adulterous husband, she defends the lover, and the case overflows to their happy home life. (Romantic Comedy)

  1. The African Queen (Classic 1951) Katharyn Hepburn plays a prim missionary spinstress to Humphrey Bogart’s gin soaked riverboat captain. (Drama)

  1. The Desk Set (Classic 1957) Katharyn Hepburn and Spencer Tracy – The broadcasting network librarian (Hepburn) is pitted against the inventor of a computer (Tracy) which threatens to make many company jobs obsolete.  Once again, Hepburn and Tracy discover they’re a perfect match. (Romantic Comedy)

  1. Love Among the Ruins, 1975 Starring a very mature couple – Sir Laurence Olivier and Katharyn Hepburn. Aging grande dame of the London theater (Hepburn) is accused by a young man of seducing and then abandoning him.  She retains the services of the greatest barrister in Britain (Olivier), who turns out to be a former suitor still in love with her. (Drama)

  1. Terms of Endearment 1983 Jack Nicholson plays ex-astronaut Garrett Breedlove and Shirley McLaine plays his next door neighbor, Aurora.  The movie spans thirty years and along with the mother/daughter relationship, features the rocky romance between the next door neighbors, where the ne’re-do-well astronaut proves he is able to love over the long haul. (Heavy drama with light moments)

  1. Shadowlands, 1993 Debra Winger plays a forty-something divorcee who finds love and devotion with a middle aged University professor named C.E. Lewis, played by Anthony Hopkins. (Drama)

  1. What Women Want 2000 – Mel Gibson (before his fall from grace and at his prime) and Helen Hunt.  Alpha male Nick almost electrocutes himself and as a result is able to hear women’s thoughts.  He uses it to his advantage on the job and with Darcy, and even as they grow closer and develop feelings for each other, he betrays her.  Proving he has a heart, after being responsible for Darcy losing her job, he sacrifices his own job for her. (Romantic Comedy)

  1. Something’s Got to Give 2004 – Jack Nicholson and Dianne Keaton, the fifty and sixty-something couple, both facing transitions in life, find love though being complete opposites. (Romantic Comedy)

  1. Mama Mia 2009 - Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan portray the long estranged couple.  Summonsed to Greece by Sophie, an old girlfriend’s daughter, Harry arrives for a birthday party.  Who of the three special guests is Sophie’s father? Thanks to several diary entries, a long-ago, but never forgotten love gets rekindled. (Musical Comedy Romance)

  1. It’s Complicated 2010 – Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin – Divorced for ten years, Jake and Jane still have feelings for each other.  They have an affair and enjoy the naughty excitement.  Good guy Adam, the architect hired to remodel Jane’s home, has genuine feelings for Jane.  Will she come to her senses and realize true love, the kind that lasts, isn’t always about bells and whistles? (Romantic-ish Comedy)

So there you have it, my list.  Now I’d love to hear about your favorite love story featuring a more mature couple! 

Thanks for having me, Nas!  It was great fun to be here.  Hope to see you all on the road! I’ll stick around all day to answer each comment.

    I love Katharyn Hepburn, so I'll have to check out the movies you listed, Lynne. As for me, my favorite mature couple has to be Ruth Bennet and Pat from Barbara Michael's book Ammie Come Home. They're just wonderfully funny and real.

    Thank you for hosting Lynne, Nas!

    What a great list. I was going to post It's Complicated. But, then I thought of The Notebook with James Garner and Gina Rowlands. Granted the story is partly about how they met and came to be together, but I'm talking about their present life. How he reads her their love story to help her remember every day as she has Alzheimer's.

    Hello Marlena and Donna!

    Thanks for coming by. Marlena, I love Katherine Hepburn's movies and Donna, The Notebook! When the romance part was being shown between the young couple was ok, but I couldn't control my tears later.

    My daughter kept saying, Mum, there's nothing to cry about, but to me it was if I grow old and had these ailment, will there be someone to look after me? Or would a certain someone bring in a new wife!!!

    Hi Marlena - thank you for reading and commenting on the blog. Kate Hepburn was a total class act!

    And thank you for recommending Ms. Michael's book. I've written the title down and plan to check it out.

    Dear Donna,
    I got all teary-eyed just reading your comment, that's how deeply that movie affected me. It was one of the first Nicholas SParks books I read, and I forced my husband to read it. Even he got chocked up at the end.

    Thanks for commenting, and I'm glad you like the list!

  6. Lynne MarshallJuly 25, 2011 at 9:25 AM

    Nas! I know how you feel. Can you imagine having a loved one not remember you? So tough. The only good thing would be, if that certain someone got a new wife, you wouldn't feel bad because you probably wouldn't remember him.

    Crazy logic, but I'm just trying to lighten the topic! : )

  7. Kathy BennettJuly 25, 2011 at 9:34 AM

    How about The Bridges of Madison County? I think mostly of the movie with Clint Eastwood and Merle Streep, but I read the book too.

    Another tearjerker - although I don't condone affairs.

  8. MiaJuly 25, 2011 at 9:36 AM

    I loved all of your choices, Lynne, and have to add Murphy's Romance (1985) starring James Garner and Sally Fields. Sally Fields' plays Emma a divorced woman with a teen aged boy who moves into a small town. James Garner plays Murphy the town druggist who steers business her way. Then her ex-husband shows up. I particularly enjoyed the sub plot with the son. Favorite lines
    Emma: "I'm in love for the first time in my life."
    Murphy: "I'm in love... for the last time in my life."

    It still makes my sigh in happiness.

    Lynne, I love your list of movies with more mature heroes and heroines--I do think Murphy's Romance should be added.

    I look forward to reading One for the Road. It sounds fascinating!

  10. Lynne MarshallJuly 25, 2011 at 10:22 AM

    Hi Kathy! You know, I'm with you on affairs, that is one reason I didn't think of that movie, but also, I don't believe it had what we'd call a classic romance ending. Though several of the other movies I mentioned weren't classic romances, either. The honest truth is, I never got into that book or movie like so many others did. Not sure why. It just didn't grab me.
    Thanks so much for reading the blog and commenting!

    Hi Lynda!
    I'm glad you like the list and hat you've seen most of the movies. Wish we could see more romance movies with women of a certain age, but Hollywood seems to have other ideas about it. UK gets it right much of the time. Helen Mirren comes ot mind...still sexy after all these years.

    I imagined Jamie Leigh Curtis circa 1994 and True Lies when I wrote D'Anne Palmer for One for the Road. Just to give you an idea.

    Thanks for commenting.

    Waving to Nas and Lynne. Great list, Lynn. I loved African Queen. I saw a sweet movie recently, Letters to Juliet, that featured an older couple with Vanessa Redgrave looking for a long lost love. The younger love story was the focus of the movie, but I still loved the older couple reuniting.

  24. Denise Covey July 25, 2011 at 1:41 PM

    Hi Nas! I'm back! This was such an interesting interview. My fave 'mature couple' romance is 'Bridges of Madison County.' Love both the book and film. Go Merryl and Clint!

  25. Lynne MarshallJuly 25, 2011 at 2:06 PM

    Hi Wendy - I know about deadlines! Hope you meet yours with days to spare. thanks for commenting.

    Hi Serentiy - so glad you enjoyed the blog. Yes, The African Queen is all time classic. Thanks for commenting!

    Hi Deniz - Oh, yes Shadowlands was a fantastic film. It transcended love as we know it. Mr. Hopkins is a master, and you're right, he played C.S. Lewis beautifully.

    Hi Carol! I recently saw Letters to Juliet with my daughter when she visited me in NY - saw it in the hotel room after a long day of sighseeing. You're right, older couples frequently get pushed to the secondary story of books and movies. I enjoyed that storyline very much. Vanessa Redgrave is like fine wine, you know? Thanks for your support!

    Hi L'Aussie - so glad you enjoyed the blog. I haven't seen Meryl Streep in Bridges of Madison County, please don't shoot me. Will fix my blaring flaw in the near future. Promise! Thanks so much for commenting.

  27. Lynne MarshallJuly 25, 2011 at 4:26 PM

    Hi Robin! Yes, Casablanca is another great love story, but Ingrid Bergman was a young one, not over forty - so that's why I didn't include it. So glad you liked the list.

    I hope you enjoy One for the Road. It's very different from my usual books for category.

    Hi NR - i'm dying to know what NR stands for! :) Yes, Somethings Got to Give is a perfect example of mature characters (well, in age anyway - Jack's character certainly wasn't acting his age in the beginning. LOL) lighting up the screen. I loved watching them get to know each other and turn their revulsion around into respect then attraction.

    Seriously - how many women first meet a guy and think he's a jerk, but later realize he is anyting but? It happens!

    Some of those movies are great. I really love the maturity of them. Love can happen at any age and I think it is great when they show that in movies and not just younger people.

  37. Lynne MarshallJuly 26, 2011 at 7:43 AM

    Hi Regina - I am so with you on that. Love endures, and it also happens for older people. Many times it is a reuniting of people who both may be widow/widower or something, but it happens.
    I particularly loved LOVE AMONG THE RUINS. Wonderful movie.

  38. Leigh CourtJuly 26, 2011 at 8:41 AM

    Lynne-
    How about The Lion In Winter, with Katharyn Hepburn & Peter O'Toole? It's the story of England's King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. At this point late in their lives, Henry has locked Eleanor away (in some cold, lonely castle, I think) only letting her out to share Christmas with the family, but even though they claim to hate each other (and fight A LOT), they still really love each other! It's a classic.

It is a classic and would have been on my list if I thought those characters were older. Thank you for the compliments about my books. You are so sweet!
