Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scenes with Oliver Barrett walking alone through a snowy New York were added after principal photography was completed. The production was almost out of money and did not have the necessary funds for permits to shoot in New York City again - so all the shots were grabbed illegally using a skeleton film crew and Ryan O'Neal.
- GoofsDuring the Harvard-Dartmouth hockey match, Oliver is wearing #7 jersey for Harvard. In the penalty box, he tells Jenny that he is concentrating on how he is going to total the Dartmouth player who had him sent to the box. He points to the Dartmouth player, who at this point has just taken down another Harvard player who is clearly wearing #7.

Love like it ought to be
Superb acting, wonderful stars, a great story, very funny jokes and very real tears. If you're looking for a romantic yet soppy movie, this is the the best deal. Love Story is the finest in it's kind.
