What was it 1972? Really bad acting but the clothes were about right for New England in the day. just saying.

Re: Love Story - The Movie

I can recall asking my best friend how he would characterize someone who would laugh through the last 15 minutes of "Love Story," which I did (so many people were weeping around me, it somehow struck me as funny). "A heartless brute," he replied. "Alternatively, a man of refined sensibility. In your case, BOTH!"

A chum saw this at the cinema back in the day...
When Ali snuffs it Ryan says something about how he doesn't know what to do & the bloke behind my chum shouted out "F*** her while she's still warm?". The whole cinema promptly erupted into merriment and all the girls stopped crying.

Love Story needn't be a sad story.

I recall some time back Ali McGraw was voted the perfect Trad Girlfriend on AAAT - partly I believe because of her modest chests!

Re: Love Story - The Movie

^ Maybe a thread on the differences betwen the Trad girlfriend & the Trad wife would be more meaningful?

Pauline Kael on Ali McGraw:

(Paraphrasing)

"She is a terrible actress, of the Nostril School.  Did she study under Natalie Wood?"

Ryan's wardrobe is very nice--he's a bit of an Ivy icon, from this and Peyton Place.

Ali is at her yummiest (and preppiest) in Goodbye, Columbus--another good film for Ivy togs.  Richard Benjamin exemplifies, I think, David's beloved notion of "common man," working class Ivy League dress.  Clean, simple, and sharp.

Re: Love Story - The Movie

Well the thread has run amuck. My only point was that the clothes seemed pretty right. Erich Segal (sp?) was a wildly popular professor of classics at Yale when the book came about in maybe 1970. It was so popular that he became a laughing stock in the University. He left soon thereafter. I have no idea where he is now. He wrote a couple of other best selling books and I guess went into hiding with the royalty checks. But the clothes do look right. The boys' clothes look about the same as the ones I wear today. The girls' clothes I find infinitely attractive but that may be just a bit of nostalgia. I was accused a few months ago of looking like I had stepped off of a college campus in the fall of 1964. Sounds about right.

Like b'shoe, I say stick with goodbye columbus.  Ali McGraw sort of lives around my neck of the woods.  She doesn't seem like the ideal trad girlfriend at all.  She's kind of other worldly.  And not in a good way.
