Love Story*                         

(US 1970)

Two students meet, fall in love and get married, but tragedy is just around the corner...
A paperback-thin bestseller which became a box office sensation (a sign of more sentimental hits to come in the 70s), a Romeo and Juliet weepie for modern times which tries to be gritty and unsentimental, despite the fact that the latter is in-built.
