Love Story

DramaRomance100 min

At Harvard, an upper-class law student and a sharp-tongued music student fall in love across a class divide neither family can ignore. Oliver Barrett IV is expected to follow a polished path shaped by money and tradition, while Jenny Cavilleri comes from a working-class world and refuses to be impressed by his name. As their relationship deepens, affection turns into a choice that costs them comfort, approval, and financial security. Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw anchor a story that follows the couple from campus romance into marriage, where the pressure of building a life together is shadowed by a sudden tragedy.
