W: Welcome to my father’s palace for this edition of Warlock’s Movie Realm. Today we will be taking a look at a movie I’ve known about since I was young but never seen, that movie is the 1970 rom com LOVE STORY. When I was a child I was an avid fan of MAD Magazine and when I was 11 years old my mom got be MAD ABOUT THE 70’S which featured the greatest hits of the 70’s Mags. One of those was the parody of LOVE STORY. Fast forward to two years ago, Patton won Best Picture but LOVE STORY was a runner up. The reason the movie almost won Best Picture is the book its based on had just come out and was a national hit. Its got some known actors and its filmed in my backyard so let’s see if this will be a nice alternative to the three hour marathon of Patton. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for LOVE STORY.
