Erich Segal's best selling novel was vividely translated to the screen and instantly became one of the best-loved films of all time, as well as the recipient of seven Academy Award nominations. Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw became overnight screen sensations for their poignant portrayals as a young couple who cross social barriers, marry and cope with Jennifer's unexpected illness and impending death. Harvard Law student/hockey jock Oliver Barrett IV (O'Neal) meets Radcliffe music wonk Jennifer Cavalleri (MacGraw), and the couple soon enter into a relationship. When the couple decide to get married, Oliver's father Oliver Barrett III (Milland) threatens to disinherit him from the family will, leaving Oliver and Jennifer to start their marriage at rock-bottom. Jennifer and her dad Phil Cavalleri (Marley) do what they can to bring father and son back together, but the two prefer to remain at war with one another. Years go by, and the young couple attempt to have children, only to discover that she is malfunctioning and her terminal illness brings tender emotions as the couple prepares for the inevitable. Their love, however, is triumphant even beyond death.Price:
