One of the most famous tearjerkers ever, LOVE STORY tells the tale of Jenny (Ali McGraw), a poor college student from Rhode Island, and Oliver (Ryan O''Neal), a rich law student from Boston, who fall in love while attending college. Despite opposition to their relationship from Oliver's wealthy father, the two get married.

After graduation, Oliver takes a job at a prestigious legal firm in New York, as everything seems to be going well for the couple, tragedy strikes Jenny, who is diagnosed with a fatal illness. Oliver must face a future without the woman he loves.

This timeless film, based on Erich Segal's best-selling novel, featured the famous tag line "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

Over-rated Classic
The story line is very simple, just as shown in the film description. Oliver demonstrates a particular talent for alienating and upsetting others. The acting and filming are only average, and the conversation quite "American", and sometimes rather corny, if you think about it. Does love really mean 'never having to say sorry'? Despite sentimental and emotional scenes, I was not sufficiently moved to shed a single tear (although I am quite soppy)! If you do watch it, there are some interesting aspects, particularly the few scenes of the couple's interaction with their parents. Jenny's Dad Phil is a Catholic, and there is an interesting inter-play with the couple who say they don't believe in God, and heaven is what we experience here. This makes Jenny's death more depressing, having no future hope. It is also interesting to see the enormous changes since 1970 including social expectations, marriage and family relationships.
