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."
