#49 - "When Harry Met Sally..." (1989) with Bethany Wells

“Baby Fishmouth.” “I’ll have what she’s having”. The Wagon Wheel Coffee Table. And the elaborate apple pie order that has inspired thousands of elaborate apple pie orders in diners and restaurants everywhere. In the 30 plus years since this 80’s flick was released, nearly every scene has become iconic and the stuff of rom-com legend. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, cuddle up with the one you love and join Tim Williams and guest co-host, Bethany Wells, as they discuss “When Harry Met Sally” from 1989 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback.

Here are some additional behind the scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

• In many romantic comedies, there is a bullying significant other or a contrived misunderstanding that would keep the two leads apart. This film is special in that it has neither of these clichés; the only thing keeping Harry and Sally apart is their own various neuroses.
• Harry is shown reading Stephen King's "Misery." The film adaptation would be the next movie directed by Rob Reiner.
• In early 2004, the film was adapted for the stage in a Theatre Royal Haymarket production starring Luke Perry and Alyson Hannigan. Mplly Ringwold and Michael Landes later replaced Hannigan and Perry for the second cast.
