On July 18, 1989, the film "When Harry Met Sally..." was released in the United States. Directed by Rob Reiner and written by Nora Ephron, this romantic comedy starred Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the titular roles and became a classic in its genre.
The movie follows the story of Harry Burns (Crystal) and Sally Albright (Ryan) over a span of 12 years, as they navigate their own romantic relationships while debating whether men and women can ever be just friends. The film is known for its witty dialogue, memorable scenes, and exploration of the complexities of friendship and love.
One of the most iconic moments in the film takes place at Katz's Delicatessen in New York City. In the scene, Sally demonstrates to Harry how easy it is for women to fake an orgasm, causing a nearby patron (played by Estelle Reiner, the director's mother) to famously quip, "I'll have what she's having." This scene has since become a pop culture phenomenon and is often referenced and parodied.
"When Harry Met Sally..." was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $92 million in North America alone and receiving praise for its performances, screenplay, and direction. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and won several other awards, including a British Academy Film Award and a Writers Guild of America Award.
The success of "When Harry Met Sally..." helped establish Meg Ryan as a leading romantic comedy actress and solidified Rob Reiner's reputation as a director. The film's influence can still be seen in countless romantic comedies that have followed in its footsteps, often attempting to capture the same charm, humor, and insight into human relationships.
In addition to its cultural impact, "When Harry Met Sally..." is notable for its soundtrack, which features classic songs by Harry Connick Jr. and helped revitalize interest in the Great American Songbook. The film's legacy has endured, with many considering it one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time and a quintessential example of the genre.
