A beautiful insight Luke, I'd completely forgotten this movie! I thoroughly enjoyed this read but more importantly sending my best wishes for a safe and speedy recovery for your mum..
I did go to see this because going to movies was what college students interested in theatre did when not otherwise engaged in a show, but also because it suggested a glimpse of a world I knew existed but that wasn’t my world. I confess though that I loved the reference to this movie that pops up in What’s Up, Doc!
When I was a teenager, I knew chunks of the dialogue by heart. Hence I can say that Jennie shouts 'not cookies, pastries! And don't make fun of my father' 'Then don't leave me, Jennie'...
This film and all the associated print memes, well, they weren’t called that then, about love meaning you never have to say anything and everything, was everywhere in my early teens. And if you wanted to go out with a girl, you’d best make sure you viewed it favourably!
Which I, of course, didn’t, hence my late start in life…and I still haven’t seen it entirely to this day. But I am going to rectify that one day, if only because Ali MacGraw is so beautiful why wouldn’t I want to look upon her face now when I was too stupid to not do so then?
Wishing you well Luke. Don't rush back. We'll all still be here waiting for your wisdom, no hurry. LOVE Love Story.
Very kind. Thank you. I may do a short something on Sunday, and then, hopefully, we're back in action the following weekend.
Echoing the good wishes, Luke.
Very kind. Thank you.
Best wishes to you Luke, hope your mum does well.
I love this film.
Many thanks.
Hope all goes well with your mother, Luke.
Thank you, Laura. Really appreciated. Hope you are well.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and sending well wishes to her, and to you. A stiff drink is called for.
Having one right now! Thank you.
Thank you!

Enjoyed this review, as I do all your reviews. Hope your mum recovers well.

I like Love Story (1970) very much indeed. As a film. It's beautifully made and rather understated.
Get well soon, Luke's mum!
Thank you!
