I exaggerate, but forget Nicholas Sparks for ruining this formula, which actually might not have ever been that good, yet can at least be respected more back in 1970, because kids had much better taste in music back then. This thing was trite and a groundbreaker at the same time, which would be awesome if the usual romantic drama released afterwards were better or, well, watchable. This is a seriously lazy title, but it's not exactly misleading, because when I hear about a dramatic "love story", I'm usually expecting something kind of depressing, at least ever since this film. I am very, very forcibly kidding, partly because this is Arthur Hiller, and largely because this film by no means ends up going down an especially cheery path. Well, I guess Arthur Miller did, in fact, write something as cheery as a love story from time to time after all.
