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?

Saw it the same time you did, pretty corny when you watch it now. Ali McGraw was a pretty woman, but like you said, could not act. Even then I hated that phrase: Love means never having to say you're sorry.

Yes—when we saw it I thought that was crap
I told my husband that love means ALWAYS saying you are sorry...
Watching “Love, Actually” for the upteenth time
Just love Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson
Her scene listening to Joni Mitchell is as good as anything she has done...
And makes me miss Alan Rickman’s work every time I see the jewelry counter scene...

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.
Love Story's theme song was composed by Francis Lai, who won the 1970 Oscar for Best Music, Original Score and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for the film. I thought the script was awful, but wait till you see Ali McGraw in "The Winds of War" (1983). They replaced her with in Jane Seymour in the sequel "War & Remembrance" (1988). What a relief!
