Trivia
For the infamous orgasm scene, the original script called for just Harry and Sally to talk about women faking an orgasm, until Meg Ryan suggested that Sally actually fake an orgasm at the table. Rob Reiner loved the idea and put it into the script. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Harry, Sally, Jess, and Marie are walking down the street after their dinner, they are all dressed in coats, and Sally is even drawing herself together and raising her shoulders as if from the cold. However, you can see trees with big, lush greenery in the background. See more »Quotes
