Of the supporting cast John Marley and Ray Milland stand out by their strong presence. Hiller has done a commendable job by bringing these two actors together and a strong rapport with them to enhance their work. Both actors complement each other brilliantly and convincingly portray the 'opposites that attract'. The chemistry between O'Neal and McGraw sizzles on screen. A movie like 'Love Story' could have easily gone wrong but kudos to director Hiller for his fine execution and for pulling all the ingredients together so effectively with the help of whimsical cinematography, impressive soundtrack and fine actors. The movie stays focused on Jennifer's and Oliver's relationship that is portrayed with the utmost simplicity.
It's a simple film in terms of everything: execution, performances, background score, direction, dialogues.The writing is incredibly great as the dialogues are creatively and amusingly witty. After hearing a friend's recommendation, I decided to give it a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. I had been avoiding watching 'Love Story' because I thought it would be another one of those corny sugarcoated love story with excessive melodrama.
