- Erich Segal’s 1970 bestseller: Oliver Barrett IV, a rich Harvard hockey player at odds with his father, falls for Jenny Cavilleri, a sharp-tongued, working-class music student, and the novel announces in its first line that she will die.
- Short, sentimental and hugely popular, and the film became one of the biggest hits of its decade, but its score here is low.
- Oliver’s Story, the sequel, follows him in the years after.
