Love Story (1970). It was my favorite movie when it came out. I was 16 or 17, and I must have seen it at least three or four times that year, but hadn't watched it since. Watching it now, 50 years later, the acting is just SO BAD, it was painful. How did Ali McGraw ever get any other acting jobs after this debacle?
The one thing that struck me was, on the set depicting Mt. Sinai Hospital, there was a framed newspaper article in the reception area. Not unusual for a hospital--one might expect to see an article on the groundbreaking for the building, or some award for outstanding patient care. On closer inspection, however, this article was not so cheery--the headline read: "15 Perish in Hospital Fire." I can only think this was some kind of joke on the part of the set decorator or director. I'm sure in 1970 they never anticipated that viewers would be seeing this in HD, and would be able to freeze the frame and read the headine.
I succumbed to my wife's requests and we watched Marriage Story over the weekend. Pretty grim story of a divorce. Slow and not outstanding, although the two leads are good actors.
