"Love means never having to say you're sorry." "Love Story" became one of the most popular tragic romance movies of all time. Erich Segal originally wrote the screenplay and Paramount convinced him to write and publish it as a novel for better advertising. It will take place in modern times (the 2020s). Oliver Barrett IV is studying law at Harvard and he's on the university's hockey team. Despite that he's very obnoxious and he constantly flirts with a girl named Jennifer Cavilleri, who is going to a different school to be a musician. Eventually, Jenny admits that she loves Oliver and (even though they didn't finish college yet) those two crazy kids already get married. Their families chew them out for "throwing their lives away." Oliver eventually decides to be a changed man when he hears that Jenny is diagnosed with leukemia and there's nothing and she's running out of time. He tries to be a better husband to her without letting her know about her condition.
