Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from something made in 1970. But Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw were so compelling, I could not stop watching. Imagine, actors who really know how to act! And back then! The intensity portrayed by O'Neal as a son who was expected to always perform, as well as a love, really made it seem real. This is a talent I have not seen often.
Yes, the ending is sad (spoiler alert), but that should not dissuade anyone from watching especially since there seems to be a much-needed reconciliation at the end.
As one who normally does not watch love stories, since this had the action of hockey, it added action and really pulled me in. I am glad I had the chance to watch the movie.
