Awesome!

I have been a fan of this movie for years and have seen it well over 500 times. Although I found three minor erros in the transcript while I read the book, It was still great.

Buy This Book!

As a screenwriting instructor, I'm always looking for material that will help my students understand the language of story. This is it!

The best transcription of the relationship between M & F

I have seen this movie several times, and I still like it. Each time I review this movie, I can gain different thinking. You'll love it if you have it.

Love at Third Sight: Nora Ephron's "When Harry Met Sally..."

Screwball comedy is dead. At least it was after motion pictures became colored, and more and more expensive, filled with action and meaningless special effects. "When Harry Met Sally...", however, marks the rebirth of that genre long forgotten. And just like Rob Reiner's 1989 film, Nora Ephron's screenplay transports the charm, the wit and likeability of characters that are not heroic stereotypes or unreal personalities, but everyday people with everyday problems, striving for a not so everyday happy-ending. Featuring the hilarious fake-orgasm scene that easily found its place in movie history, and one of the most touching declarations of love ever written, "When Harry Met Sally..." is a modern classic, a must-read for future screenwriters and playwrights, just as well as for everyone with a sense of humor and a romantic core.
