When Harry Met Sally... is a 1989 American romantic comedy film written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner. It stars Billy Crystal as Harry and Meg Ryan as Sally. The story follows the title characters from the time they meet just before sharing a cross-country drive, through twelve years of chance encounters in New York City. The film raises the question "Can men and women ever just be friends? " and advances many ideas about relationships that became household concepts, such as "high-maintenance" [1] and the "transitional person". [2]
The origins of the film were derived from Reiner's return to single life after a divorce. An interview Ephron conducted with Reiner provided the basis for Harry. Sally was based on Ephron and some of her friends. Crystal came on board and made his own contributions to the screenplay, making Harry funnier. Ephron supplied the structure of the film with much of the dialogue based on the real-life friendship between Reiner and Crystal. The soundtrack consists of standards performed by Harry Connick Jr., with a big band and orchestra arranged by Marc Shaiman. For his work on the soundtrack, Connick won his first Grammy Award for Best Jazz Male Vocal Performance.
Columbia Pictures released When Harry Met Sally... in select cities, letting word of mouth generate interest, before gradually expanding distribution. The film grossed $92. 8 million in North America. Ephron received a British Academy Film Award, an Oscar nomination, and a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for her screenplay. The film is ranked 23rd on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs list of the top comedy films in American cinema and number 60 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". In early 2004, the film was adapted for the stage in a production starring Luke Perry and Alyson Hannigan.
Plot [ edit]
In 1977, Harry Burns and Sally Albright graduate from the University of Chicago and share the drive to New York City, where Sally is beginning journalism school and Harry is starting a career. Harry is dating Sally's friend Amanda. During the drive, Harry and Sally discuss their differing ideas about relationships; Sally disagrees with Harry's assertion that men and women cannot be friends as "the sex part gets in the way". At a diner, Harry tells Sally she is attractive, and she angrily accuses him of making a pass at her. They part in New York on unfriendly terms.
Five years later, Harry and Sally find themselves on the same flight. Sally is dating Harry's neighbor Joe, and Harry is engaged to Helen, which surprises Sally. Harry suggests they become friends, forcing him to qualify his previous position about the impossibility of male-female friendships. They separate, concluding that they will not be friends.
Harry and Sally run into each other again in a bookstore five years later. They have coffee and talk about their previous relationships; Sally and Joe broke up because she wanted a family and he did not want to marry, and Harry's wife Helen left him for another man. They take a walk and become friends. They have late-night phone conversations, go to dinner, and spend time together, discussing their love lives.
During a New Year's Eve party, Harry and Sally find themselves attracted to each other. Even though they remain friends, they set each other up with their respective best friends, Marie and Jess. When the four go to a restaurant, Marie and Jess become fast friends and later become engaged. Over the phone, Sally tearfully tells Harry that her ex is getting married. He rushes to her apartment to comfort her, and they have sex; Harry leaves the next morning distressed. Their friendship cools until a heated argument at Jess and Marie's wedding dinner. Harry attempts to mend his friendship with Sally, but she feels that they cannot be friends.
At a New Year's Eve party that year, Sally feels alone without Harry by her side. Harry spends New Year's alone, walking around the city. As Sally decides to leave the party early, Harry appears and declares his love for her. She argues that the only reason he is there is because he is lonely, but he lists the many things he realized he loves about her. They kiss and marry three months later, exactly 12 years and three months after their first meeting.
The plot also contains several interlaced segments throughout the film where fictitious older married couples narrate to the camera their stories of how they met. The last couple that is interviewed before the closing credits is Harry and Sally.

Production [ edit]
In 1984, director Rob Reiner, producer Andy Scheinman and writer Nora Ephron met over lunch at the Russian Tea Room in New York City to develop a project. [3] Reiner pitched an idea for a film that Ephron rejected. [4] The second meeting transformed into a long discussion about Reiner and Scheinman's lives as single men. Reiner remembers, "I was in the middle of my single life. I'd been divorced for a while. I'd been out a number of times, all these disastrous, confusing relationships one after another. " [5] The next time they all met, Reiner said that he had always wanted to do a film about two people who become friends and do not have sex because they know it will ruin their relationship but have sex anyway. Ephron liked the idea, and Reiner acquired a deal at a studio. [3]
For materials, Ephron interviewed Reiner and Scheinman about their lives, creating the basis for Harry. Reiner was constantly depressed and pessimistic yet funny. Ephron also got bits of dialogue from these interviews. [3] She worked on several drafts over the years while Reiner made Stand By Me and The Princess Bride. [4] Billy Crystal "experienced vicariously" Reiner's (his best friend at the time) return to single life after divorcing comedian/filmmaker Penny Marshall and in the process was unconsciously doing research for the role of Harry. [3]
During the screenwriting process when Ephron would not feel like writing, she would interview people who worked for the production company. Some of the interviews appeared in the film as the interludes between certain scenes featuring couples talking about how they met, [3] although the material was rewritten and reshot with actors. [6] For example, in the scene where Sally and Harry appear on a split-screen, talking on the telephone while watching their respective television sets, channel surfing, was something that Crystal and Reiner did every night. [6]
Originally, Ephron wanted to call the film How They Met and went through several different titles. Reiner even started a contest with the crew during principal photography: whoever came up with the title won a case of champagne. [4] In order to get into the lonely mindset of Harry when he was divorced and single, Crystal stayed by himself in a separate room from the cast and crew while they were shooting in Manhattan. [6] The script initially ended with Harry and Sally remaining friends and not pursuing a romantic relationship because she felt that was "the true ending", as did Reiner. [4] Eventually, Ephron and Reiner realized that it would be a more appropriate ending for them to marry, though they admit that this is generally not a realistic outcome. [7]
When posed the film's central question, can men and women just be friends, Ryan replied, "Yes, men and women can just be friends. I have a lot of platonic (male) friends, and sex doesn't get in the way. " Crystal said, "I'm a little more optimistic than Harry. But I think it is difficult. Men basically act like stray dogs in front of a supermarket. I do have platonic (women) friends, but not best, best, best friends. " [8]
Rob Reiner initially envisioned actress Susan Dey for the role of Sally Albright. When she declined, he later considered Elizabeth Perkins. He also considered casting Elizabeth McGovern. Molly Ringwald was almost cast, but Meg Ryan convinced Reiner to give her the role. Reiner's mother Estelle and daughter Tracy both played roles in the film.
Katz's Delicatessen scene [ edit]
Film still from the famous restaurant scene
Katz's Deli still hangs this sign above the table.
In a scene featuring the two title characters having lunch at Katz's Delicatessen in Manhattan, the couple are arguing about a man's ability to recognize when a woman is faking an orgasm. Sally claims that men cannot tell the difference, and to prove her point, she vividly (fully clothed) fakes one as other diners watch. The scene ends with Sally casually returning to her meal as a nearby patron (played by Reiner's mother) places her order: "I'll have what she's having. " When Estelle Reiner died at age 94 in 2008, The New York Times referred to her as the woman "who delivered one of the most memorably funny lines in movie history". [9] This scene was shot again and again, and Ryan demonstrated her fake orgasms for hours. [7] Katz's Deli still hangs a sign above the table that says, "Where Harry met Sally... hope you have what she had! " [10] [11]
This classic scene was born when the film started to focus too much on Harry. Crystal remembers saying, "'We need something for Sally to talk about, ' and Nora said, 'Well, faking orgasm is a great one, ' and right away we said, 'Well, the subject is good, ' and then Meg came on board and we talked with her about the nature of the idea and she said, 'Well, why don't I just fake one, just do one? '" [3] Ryan suggested that the scene take place in a restaurant, [12] and it was Crystal who came up with the scene's classic punchline – "I'll have what she's having. " [3] In 2005, the quote was listed 33rd on the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes list of memorable movie lines. Reiner recalls that at a test screening, all of the women in the audience were laughing while all of the men were silent. [4]
In late 2013, Improv Everywhere, the New York City initiative behind the annual No Pants Day in the subways and various flash-mob stunts, convened and filmed a re-enactment in Katz's Delicatessen. While a look-alike couple performed the scene, 30 others joined as if it was contagious. Surprised staff and customers responded in appreciation. The film and follow-up interviews are public. [13] In October of the same year, Katz's invited Baron Von Fancy to display his ten-foot-high mural quoting the famous line in its pop-up gallery next door, The Space. [14]
Soundtrack [ edit]
The When Harry Met Sally... soundtrack album features American singer and pianist Harry Connick Jr. Bobby Colomby, the drummer for Blood, Sweat & Tears, was a friend of Reiner's and recommended Harry Connick Jr., giving the director a tape of the musician's music. Reiner was struck by Connick's voice and how he sounded like a young Frank Sinatra. The movie's soundtrack album was released by Columbia Records in July 1989. The soundtrack consists of standards performed by Harry Connick Jr. with a big band and orchestra arranged by Marc Shaiman. Connick won his first Grammy for Best Jazz Male Vocal Performance. [15]
Arrangements and orchestrations on " It Had to Be You ", " Where or When ", "I Could Write a Book", and "But Not for Me" are by Connick and Shaiman. Other songs were performed as piano / vocal solos, or with Connick's trio featuring Benjamin Jonah Wolfe on bass and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums. Also appearing on the album are tenor saxophonist Frank Wess and guitarist Joy Berliner. The soundtrack went to #1 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Chart and was within the top 50 on the Billboard 200. [16] Connick also toured North America in support of this album. [17] It went on to reach double-platinum status. [18]
The music in the film is performed by various artists, such as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Bing Crosby, and Harry Connick Jr.
Reception [ edit]
Box office [ edit]
Columbia Pictures released the film using the "platform" technique which involved opening it in a few select cities letting positive word of mouth generate interest and then gradually expanding distribution over subsequent weeks. On its opening weekend, it grossed $1 million in 41 theaters. [19] Billy Crystal was worried that the film would flop at the box office because it was up against several summer blockbuster films, like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Batman. [3] The film went into wide release on July 21, 1989, and grossed $8. 8 million on its opening weekend in 775 theaters. [19] This was later expanded to 1, 174 theaters and the film grossed a total of $92. 8 million in North America, well above its $16 million budget. [19]
Critical response [ edit]
When Harry Met Sally... received a 90% approval rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 70 reviews, with an average rating of 8. 03/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Rob Reiner's touching, funny film set a new standard for romantic comedies, and he was ably abetted by the sharp interplay between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. " [20] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 76 out of 100, based on 17 critics. [21]
The film led Roger Ebert to call Reiner "one of Hollywood's very best directors of comedy", and said that it was "most conventional, in terms of structure and the way it fulfills our expectations. But what makes it special, apart from the Ephron screenplay, is the chemistry between Crystal and Ryan. " [22] In a review for The New York Times, Caryn James called When Harry Met Sally... an "often funny but amazingly hollow film" that "romanticized lives of intelligent, successful, neurotic New Yorkers"; James characterized it as "the sitcom version of a Woody Allen film, full of amusing lines and scenes, all infused with an uncomfortable sense of déjà vu ". [23]
Rita Kempley of The Washington Post praised Meg Ryan as the "summer's Melanie Griffith – a honey-haired blonde who finally finds a showcase for her sheer exuberance. Neither naif nor vamp, she's a woman from a pen of a woman, not some Cinderella of a Working Girl. " [24] Mike Clark of USA Today gave the film three out of four stars, writing, "Crystal is funny enough to keep Ryan from all-out stealing the film. She, though, is smashing in an eye-opening performance, another tribute to Reiner's flair with actors. " [25] David Ansen provided one of the rare negative reviews of the film for Newsweek. He criticized the casting of Crystal, "Not surprisingly he handles the comedy superbly, but he's too cool and self-protective an actor to work as a romantic leading man", and felt that as a film, "of wonderful parts, it doesn't quite add up".

Legacy [ edit]
Over the years, When Harry Met Sally... has become "the quintessential contemporary feel-good relationship movie that somehow still rings true". [27] Ephron still received letters from people obsessed with the film and still had "people who say to me all the time, 'I was having a Harry-and-Sally relationship with him or her'.

When harry met sally movie synopsis.
Screenwriter Nora Ephron has died at 71. For many, one of her finest moments is the romcom When Harry Met Sally, about a man and woman who are not friends, then friends, then not friends again. Is it a true picture of relationships? (Spoiler alert: Key plot details revealed below) He's an unlikely romantic hero - shortish, receding hairline, a bit of an idiot to the women he sleeps with, and played by Billy Crystal. She's a bit ditzy and possibly high maintenance ("sauce on the side"). Very Meg Ryan. They meet at college. He tries to get off with her, she rebuffs his advances, but years later they run into each other in New York and become friends. Then close friends. And then accidentally sleep with each other and it all goes horribly wrong. What does this film - as much a love letter to New York as it is a funny meditation on friendship, love and sex - say about men and women? 1. Can men and women be friends? "You realise of course that we could never be friends... men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way" - Harry That's not true, Sally protests, she has lots of male friends and there is no sex involved. Oh no she doesn't, says Harry. "No man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. " Really? "Yes, we jolly well ought to be friends, " contends agony aunt Suzie Hayman. "It's tragic that we have this separation between friendship and sexual relationships. The initial emotional rush when you meet someone can feel like something else, but when that eases you can be left with the fantasy of the person. " Relationship expert Judy James says the male/female friendship is probably rarer than we imagine. "A lot of men and women are clearly friends, but often one of them will be harbouring some form of attraction for the other. "It will probably never be consummated, as they would not want to jeopardise the friendship, but I'd say in about 50% of male/female friendships one of them secretly fancies the other. "You see friends of the opposite sex often admitting that when they reconnect years later on Facebook or Friends Reunited, " she says. Writer and actress Rebecca Gethings - who played Marie, Sally's best friend, in the UK tour of the stage play - says it's only possible if there is no sexual frisson. "Or if there is only a fair to middling attraction between them. But anything more than that, then they are going to end up arguing or end up in bed. Basically, there are too many unsaids. "However, it's a proper buddy movie - the two characters are on an equal footing - they are equally fitted. It's not just Sally who is quirky and kooky, but in his own way Harry is too. " 2. The big break-up... and then get married "I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you" - Harry "What? " - Sally "I love you" - Harry "How do you expect me to respond to this? " - Sally "How about, you love me too" - Harry "How about, I'm leaving" - Sally Harry and Sally's friendship is split asunder after a spur-of-the-moment night of passion, when she is distraught about an ex marrying someone else. The next morning, their ease in each other's company has instantly evaporated. Judy James says the big break-up is common in intense friendships - and often, the more intense the friendship, the bigger the break-up. She says it is usually down to a build-up of resentment. "It happens when people need time to reassess how they feel - perhaps how it feels not to see someone, especially in male/female friendships. "It can often give the relationship a little reboot. " Then there are the couples who split only to get back together having realised what they've lost, and end up happily married. Rebecca Gethings says when Harry says the line "I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible", this can be music to a woman's ear. "It's usually women who are accused of rushing things, and here is a man [making big declarations]. " 3. Moving in/breaking up arguments over stuff "Right now everything is great, everyone is happy, everyone is in love and that is wonderful. Sooner or later you're gonna be screaming at each other about who's gonna get this dish. This $8 dish will cost you a thousand dollars in phone calls to the legal firm of That's Mine, This Is Yours" - Harry When lovers move in together, the last thing they want to do is write their names in their books. In the film, Harry and Sally's friends Jess and Marie move in together and start arguing over her aforementioned dish and his wagon-wheel coffee table that is truly hideous. She wants to get rid of it. He digs in his heels. Eventually, after Harry flips his lid over their argument, the coffee table is jettisoned. "If I lived in my perfect house, there would be clutter on every surface, " says Suzie Hayman. "If my husband lived in his perfect house, it would be like a Japanese tea house, with a single flower in a vase, a scroll on the wall and everything else bare. It's very far from mine, and the house we live in. " But this is what compromise is about, she says. Like many couples, over the years Hayman and her husband have had their own wagon-wheel coffee table discussions, and weighed up whether person or object takes precedence. "Over the years I've got rid of things he just can't stand. But sometimes I plead for something special - 'I know you hate it but it was my grandmother's'. It's a two-way street. " 4. What a fake orgasm looks like
"I'll have what she's having" - diner customer The scene: Katz's Delicatessen in Manhattan. The set-up: Sally says most women have faked it. "Well, they haven't faked it with me, " says Harry, and refuses to countenance any suggestion to the contrary. She tires of trying to tell him, and without warning starts to demonstrate. Loudly. It is perhaps the most memorable moment of the film. "Men had heard the myth of the fake orgasm for years, but most of them genuinely thought they would know if women were faking it, " says Judy James. "I think men quaked in their boots when they saw it, and a lot of them thought retrospectively about their relationships - it destabilised men sexually. Women were probably smiling sheepishly, " she says. James says she would have loved to eavesdropped on people's sofas after the film. "You can imagine men turning around and saying: 'You don't do that do you? '. I wonder how many women were honest, " she says. Rebecca Gethings adds that the idea a woman could do a believable fake orgasm may be an "unsettling prospect" for men. "But it's a foolish thing to do as it would be setting a precedent. " 5. You don't get embarrassed when with someone you really like "It is so nice when you can sit with someone and not have to talk" - Harry But the diner scene is not only about sex. It is about relaxing in the company of someone you enjoy being with. Sally is uninhibited enough to loudly fake an orgasm in a crowded place. And Harry is at ease enough not to sink below the table in embarrassment as her moans increase in volume. "Friends that feel comfortable with each other can discover things about the opposite sex, it is a playful way of discovering things about relationships, " says Judy James. "Lots of women have got a gay best friend who they are flirty or more outrageous with. It's a way of stretching parameters with the opposite sex but with not sexual partner - of learning and discovering things about them and themselves. " Suzie Hayman adds that friends can be much more accepting of your quirks - another reason she mourns the too-frequent distinction between friendship and love. "You accept that your friend may pick their nose or have other bad habits. You agree to disagree and you celebrate the similarities and the differences between you. But all too often, we worry that our lovers might glimpse the 'real us' and be put off. " Additional reporting by Vanessa Barford and Kathryn Westcott.

I just hope one day I will meet a guy like him... not like some guy who keep saying I love you but in reality they are just using you... awesome movie.
First of all, I'd like to say that I pretty much hate romantic comedies. I can't stand them at all. They're all the same, have the same plots, the same characters (in most cases) and even the same actors. The only thing that changes in these kinds of movies is the background in which the characters live. But of course there are exceptions, such as the Hepburn/Grant 1938 flick 'Bringing Up Baby' Woody Allen's Best Picture winner 'Annie Hall' and this movie. 'When Harry Met Sally. is a romantic comedy that was able to be original in 1989 and remains fresh even nowadays, when most movies from this genre copy what it introduced back then.
'When Harry Met Sally. story focuses on the relationship of Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) covering 12 years of their lives, starting in 1977, when they met in a trip (hence the title) and ending in 1989, the year the movie was made. In these 12 years, Harry and Sally go through many phases. First they hated each other, then they became friends, until they finally realized they loved each other. The story may seem simple enough, but the script written by Nora Ephron - who even got an Oscar nomination for it - manages to tell it in a simple but yet complicated matter, a matter that holds the attention of the viewer during the whole movie. Throughout it, Ephron deals with many themes regarding love, and throws a lot of questions to the viewer, such as "Can men and women be friends? and so on. The script also introduces us to concepts that were used in most of other romantic comedies to come, like the idea of both the main characters having close friends who also fall in love, the feelings that the main characters have for each other, going from hate to love during the movie, and so on. And speaking of the main characters, the character development here is nothing but marvelous, which reflects in Harry's case for example: a character that starts off as a ladies' man, and finishes the movie as guy in love for his then- friend. And it's just this change in the characters that makes the movie so great, and specially, believable. Add this to some fantastic well- written dialog, and you got yourself an excellent script.
There's really not much to praise in what regards the acting here. Both the main actors do a pretty good job in portraying their characters, but it's not really that stand-off job. Surprisingly, the best member of the cast is Meg Ryan, in probably the best performance of her career. She manages to deliver a very strong performance and convince as that's Sally, appealing to both men and women - like the movie itself. And she did a hell of a job in the infamous fake orgasm scene, which has got to be one of the most funny scenes ever. Like Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal also does an amazing job. In this movie, he's the guy every man wants to be. Apart from the main duo, the other two important characters are jess (Bruno Kirby) and Marie (Carrie Fisher) who do an average job.
'When Harry Met Sally. is directed by the always-great Rob Reiner. I've watched most of his movies, and although this definitely ain't his best work, all can say that Mr. Reiner did a pretty good job directing this picture. Most of the shots don't have much to them, but there are a few scenes where you can watch and say "Rob Reiner certainly shot that." And the way he tells the story, interpolating Harry and Sally's story with real couples telling their love-story is a pretty good addiction to the script. I also thought the cinematography here was quite well-done, giving the feeling of New York to the viewer brilliantly.
Overall, When Harry Met Sally. is an excellent romantic comedy, that's able to appeal to both men and women. The best thing here is Nora Ephron's very well-written script. The acting is not so great, but it could be worst, though. Rob Reiner's directing made the movie what it is: a romantic comedy that was fresh and original back then and remains so nowadays, even with a lot of the movies from this genre copying many things from 'When Harry Met Sally. br>
9/10.
@TWN321 No, I do not find guys attractive in the least. As a matter of fact, I am engaged to a (that's right! girl. I do not have uncontrollable urges to bang someone. I am still a virgin (That may have something to do with the ability to control myself) and I'm proud to be one. I'm sure you're going to rag and make fun of me for being one. don't waste your time. It's not worth it. I'm not changing my views on sex before marriage, and I doubt you are. So don't waste my (or yours) time.

Great movie has language
The entire movie has the guy saying sex sex sex about 5 f words the guy sleeps with the woman they are naked but nothing really shown
What's the story?
Harry ( Billy Crystal) and Sally ( Meg Ryan) meet for the first time while sharing a ride from Chicago to New York City. Sally is an uptight, optimistic, and intelligent person, while Harry is a thoughtful, sex-crazed chauvinist. Over a period of 10 years, they bicker, become best friends, and eventually fall in love, answering the age-old question, "Can a man and a woman be friends, without sex getting in the way? "
Is it any good?
Producer Nora Ephron and director Rob Reiner make delightful, timeless romantic classics, and this is their best-known work. Many have tried, but none has succeeded in capturing the charm, wit, and chemistry between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan shown onscreen in this classic romantic comedy. Every element of this film possesses strength, including the script (supposedly based on Rob Reiner and Nora Ephron's true-to-life on again/off again relationship).
Who can forget such memorable lines as, "Oh, but 'baby fish mouth' is sweeping the nation? " and of course Rob Reiner's mother's declaration of, "I'll have what she's having. " This film has a timeless quality that transcends decades, meaning that teenagers may not automatically write it off as an "old movie. " As relevant and entertaining today as it was in 1989 and probably still in 2039, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY is one movie not to be missed. Suitable for older teens and up.
