When Harry Met Sally director Rob Reiner explains why the beloved 1989 film originally had a different ending. The story of Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) and Sally Albright (Meg Ryan), and the gradual evolution of their relationship, remains one of the most celebrated romantic comedies of all time. The romantic and comedic elements remain timeless, and the relatable dialogue is well-written. At the time, the film was also groundbreaking for its candid discussions about sex from both men’s and women’s perspectives.
