Fascinating. I didn't know that about Erich Segal. I'm off to Google who did the costumes for that film. The car was great. So was the, I think plaid, coat that she wore. Big lapels.

Edit: Beige, the coat was beige. Like a camel hair tone. Not plaid.

There's a somewhat famous series of Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash from around that time. Joni wears the same hat. Ali's wardrobe in Love Story is epic. I think she was Diana Vreeland's assistant at Vogue prior to her career taking off.

I recently bought a little crocheted cap at a thrift store and was telling my husband how they had been all the rage when Love Story came out. She wore one in the film. I had one then, too. Everyone called them Ali McGraw hats, and I will forever think of them that way.

And I, too, am sick of the double standard. Yes, it prevails to this day.

Did anyone else read the ad copy? It's a little difficult to make out, but It's hilarious. It begins with 'It's summer, baby' and ends with 'Turn on your tan, baby. And you'll turn on your hero'. I love ad copy from this era. And I love Ali McGraw, such a style icon. Edit: punctuation and a word.

It looks like it's Halloween. The bartenders are in costumes, one of the women sitting at the bar is wearing a decoration of some sort on her forehead. And that very tall woman standing at the far right looks to actually be a man dressed as a woman. Edit: I just noticed the jack o lantern decoration. And the woman at the bar seems to be dressed as a flapper. And guy at the end, closes to us, is dressed as Al Capone.

Yes, that was it. I couldn't recall the name of it. I loved it, too. Thanks for the reminder.

Great band. There's a great documentary on them that I watched this year. Their song Change has one of the best bass riffs. Edit: spelling
