A bit of one of those days and then I happen to end up watching “Love Story” and there were no tissues in the house lucky we have just bought some bog roll. It is not the best film in the world but certainly cute and heart breaking for an old softy like me.
Love Story is a romantic drama well known as a tragic story considered one of the most romantic films of all time. Starring Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw together with John Marley and Ray Milland it is pretty outstanding. Written by Erich Segal, based on his novel with the same title, and an awarding winning soundtrack with a particular favourite Snow Frolic by Francis Lai. Arthur Hiller directed the movie.
Oliver Barrett IV (O'Neal) is a comfortably off Harvard pre-law student that falls in love with Radcliffe music student Jenny Cavilleri (MacGraw),who happens to be a freewheeling, delightfully profane product of a blue-collar Italian-American family. Oliver's father heartily disapproves of the subsequent marriage and cuts off his son's allowance. Despite financial problems, the couple is blissfully happy. Diagnosed with an unnamed disease Jenny is consigned to an early death turning it into a weepy.
This is one of the most popular movies of all-time especially when movie's tagline "Love means never having to say you're sorry". Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw each received Academy Award nominations and became overnight movie sensations for their poignant portrayals of a young couple who cross social barriers, marry and ultimately face the greatest crisis of all that makes is a classic tearjerker.
