Love Story

Love Story (1970) is Arthur Hiller's classic romance you can watch online on iFILM. Oliver Barrett IV, heir to old Boston money and a Harvard man, falls for Jennifer Cavilleri, a sharp-tongued baker's daughter studying music at Radcliffe. Her family has no fortune. It has plenty of pride.

They marry anyway, and Oliver's father cuts him off rather than accept a bride from the wrong side of town. Money is tight while he claws through law school and she teaches; they count every dollar and stay stubbornly happy. Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal play the couple whose name became shorthand for doomed young love, with Ray Milland and a very young Tommy Lee Jones in support. Then grief arrives, and it is better discovered than spoiled.

Adapted from Erich Segal's novel, the film drew seven Academy Award nominations and gave the screen the line "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Carried by Francis Lai's score, it became one of the highest-grossing films of its decade. Stream Love Story (1970) online on iFILM.
