Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal created romantic-comedy perfection in When Harry Met Sally — and viewers are still falling in love with their performances today.
The Rob Reiner-directed film follows Harry Burns (Crystal) and Sally Albright (Ryan) from the time they meet in Chicago through more than a decade of friendship and missed connections. Written by the late Nora Ephron, the movie raked in more than $92.8 million in the U.S. when it hit theaters in July 1989.
When Harry Met Sally was praised by both fans and critics. The film earned Ephron an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe nod for her impressive screenplay. According to Crystal, however, the script went through some major changes to get to its now-iconic final version.
“The script totally changed from what we had agreed to do,” Crystal said at the TCM Classic Film Festival in April 2019 in honor of the flick’s 30th anniversary. “It kept growing and growing and growing. You had the guy point of view, and then you had Nora and Meg, throwing everything in it together, and that’s why I think it’s such a powerful screenplay.”
