Nora Ephron’s battle-of-the-sexes comedy features Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, and an unforgettable scene at Katz’s Delicatessen.
Introduction by Prof. Noah Isenberg
After an acrimonious post-college car ride from Chicago to New York, Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) can’t seem to avoid bumping into each other. Despite all efforts to the contrary, and their seemingly irreconcilable differences, platonic friendship takes root. Nora Ephron’s script gives a new spin on the battle-of-the-sexes theme—often ending in romance—found in early entries to the genre, including It Happened One Night. Never has pastrami been made to look so good. D: Rob Reiner, US, 1989, 96m
