Oliver's Story is a 1978 romantic drama film directed by John Korty and starring Ryan O'Neal, Candice Bergen, and Nicola Pagett. It is a sequel to the 1970 film Love Story, which also starred O'Neal in the lead role. The film begins where Love Story left off, with Oliver Barrett IV (Ryan O'Neal) mourning the loss of his wife Jenny (Ali MacGraw). Oliver is now a successful lawyer in New York City, but he is still struggling to move on from his grief. He tries to fill the void in his life by dating other women, but he can't seem to find anyone who matches up to Jenny.

One day, Oliver runs into his father's former business associate, Marcie Bonwit (Candice Bergen), at a gallery opening. Marcie is a beautiful and sophisticated woman who catches Oliver's eye. They start seeing each other, but Oliver is not sure if he is ready for a serious relationship.

As Oliver and Marcie spend more time together, they start to fall in love. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Marcie is already married. She is also dealing with her own personal issues and fears about commitment.

Oliver's Story explores themes of love, loss, and moving on after a tragedy. It delves into the complexities of relationships and the different ways people cope with grief. The film is shot in a stylish and elegant way, capturing the glamour and sophistication of New York City in the late 1970s.

Ryan O'Neal delivers a strong performance as Oliver, portraying a man who is torn between his past and his present. Candice Bergen is equally impressive as Marcie, bringing depth and complexity to her character. Nicola Pagett also shines as Cecilia, a young woman who befriends Oliver and tries to help him move on.

Overall, Oliver's Story is a poignant and thought-provoking film that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or struggled with their emotions. It is a worthy successor to Love Story and a powerful exploration of the human heart.

Oliver's Story is a 1978 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
