Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Love Story' tracks Jenny's relationship with a fellow she calls Barrett. What's his full name?

Answer: Oliver Barrett IV

According to the movie, Barrett's great-grandfather donated Barrett Hall to Harvard.

2. What does Jenny's father do for a living?

Answer: He bakes pastries

Pastries! NOT cookies! Or so Jenny insists.

3. How do Jenny and Barrett feel about the 'church bit' (and the 'God bit')?

Answer: negative

This causes Jenny's Catholic father some concern.

4. Barrett's falling-out with his father causes some difficulty when it comes time for Barrett to pay for what?

Answer: law school

He doesn't receive financial aid because he's a Barrett, and Barretts don't NEED financial aid.

5. What is Jenny's great unsatisfied interest?

Answer: music

She gave up a scholarship to study music in Paris so that she could marry Barrett. (Aw! Ain't that SWEET?)

6. What does the doctor tell Barrett Jenny is dying of?

Answer: He doesn't specify

Seemed odd that Barrett never questioned that rather sketchy diagnosis ...

7. What sport did Barrett play at Harvard?

Answer: ice hockey

Barrett was singlehandedly responsible for losing the title to Cornell (so sad!) And yes, ballroom dancing is a sport. The Australian movie 'Strictly Ballroom' is hilarious, by the way. It's a much, much better movie than 'Love Story.'

8. When Barrett gives Jenny his father's phone number and she dials, many audience members become amused. Why?

Answer: She isn't dialing the number he gave her! She's dialing 555-5555!

The Pacific Bell payphone in Washington DC was actually a gaffe from the film 'Die Hard 2'.

9. Jenny and Barrett move to what city in order to pursue Barrett's career?

Answer: New York City

Jenny dies in New York.

10. Early in the movie, Barrett asks Jenny, 'Who's Phil?' after she ends a phone call. So, for {$64,000,} who IS Phil?

Answer: Jenny's father

Phil doesn't believe in titles like 'Dad' or 'Mister.' He's enlightened, and everything. I think he's supposed to be the comic relief, but I'm not sure, because he wasn't comic. He was, however, just about the sole likeable person in the entire movie. (IMHO)
