Every now and then–even 40 year after the fact–groups of Japanese tourists stop on Oxford Street in Cambridge to take pictures of the famous steps, threshold, and doorway of The Love Story house

Now there’s a jean style–“Love Story” put out by Seven for All Mankind. 

The 1970 movie, “Love Story” starred  an artsy Ali McGraw and jock Ryan O’Neill as a lovestruck Harvard couple from different sides of the tracks. The moive–and the book–were tearjerkers with a saccharin tagline: love means never having to say you’re sorry.  

Down the block, Oxford Spa and the laundromat next to the spa were also in the movie and to this day have signs in their windows announcing their participation.
