One of the things that made When Harry Met Sally so wonderful was the ending (well that and the Katz’s Deli scene), but that was not the original ending of the movie. Rob Reiner was on The Late Late Show yesterday and he told James Corden how it was originally going to end and why Nora Ephron and him changed it while they were filming.
After he divorced Penny Marshall, he was single for about decade leading up to this film. Because of that he never knew how he was going to find love again. Thus, he had Harry and Sally going their separate ways. Then as they were making the film, he met the woman, who he is still married to today, and understood how love works.
Therefore instead of them parting ways, they got together. Had they used the original ending, I don’t think we would still be talking about it today. We have to be grateful he found love because we got the ending we love due to it.
