From Hollywood With Love

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The modern romantic comedy’s origins can be traced back to the Russian Tea Room in Manhattan in 1984, when Nora Ephron and Rob Reiner met for what would be one of the most remarkable lunches in Hollywood history. #2 Ephron’s ability to get to the heart of something and share it with the widest possible audience was a skill she had come by honestly. She had taken her mother’s advice that everything is copy, and used that to her advantage. #3 The movie has no plot, but it is still difficult to find the perfect Harry and Sally. The movie depends on your caring about those two people. #4 For the music for When Harry Met Sally, Billy Crystal recommended Marc Shaiman, with whom he had previously worked on Saturday Night Live. The soundtrack album for the movie was a hit, and it launched the career of a pianist named Harry Connick Jr.
