Love Story
A privileged Harvard law student and a working‑class music student fight to build a marriage together while his powerful father threatens to disown him, putting their love and future on the line.
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
Synopsis
Harvard Law student Oliver Barrett IV and music student Jennifer Cavilleri experience a connection they cannot ignore, despite their differing backgrounds. Their relationship leads them to marriage, but Oliver's wealthy father threatens to disown him as a result. Jennifer attempts to mediate between the Barrett men, but her efforts are unsuccessful.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 62× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
