Does not stand the test of time...laughably stupid.

I think it's ok movie, but agree it's for it time. So many better romance films have been made since Love Story.

"The end of the shoelace is called the...IT DOESN'T MATTER!"

Doesn't help that Ali McGraw's acting his subpar. She's saying the lines that were written for her, but I'd ix-nay a woman in a heartbeat if she said GD like that.

She's prettier than Meryl Streep, but she can't get close to her acting abilities.

At least AM had the sense to call BS on the movies's tag line in her autobiography. If you really love someone and want it to work, you better be willing to apologize.

agreed








so many movies, so little time

She is so scary at her death bed that only someone who loves her and tolerates her can be near her. She blasphemes until the moment of her death.

I was very young when this film came out, but everyone back then assumed she had cancer. Back then, the C diagnosis was a death sentence. Today, we all know someone who has beat cancer in the long term.

It's kind of like Jenny in Forrest Gump. She either had AIDS or Hepatitis but either way, she was a goner at the time of the movie.

In older movies, the disease they used to foretell a coming death was often Consumption (TB). We didn't even need to hear a doctor's diagnosis when the person had a bad cough and coughed up blood. Today, Tuberculosis can be treated, but in the old days, it was almost automatic.

I never knew dad's mother, but my dad told me that the day before she died, she looked better than she did in months. My dad was told my grandmother had cancer and it was only a matter of time. He thought she was getting better the day before she died.
