The Surprising Twist Behind When Harry Met Sally’s Central Park Scene

When Harry Met Sally is known for its classic rom-com plot, but one of its most famous scenes almost didn’t happen due to unexpected weather. Billy Crystal recently shared with TV Insider the behind-the-scenes story of filming in Central Park during autumn. As Crystal reminisces, the picturesque backdrop of autumn leaves nearly disappeared when a sudden rainstorm hit the day after they captured the scene. The City Slickers star emphasized the significance of the cinematography in the film, highlighting the work of Barry Sonnenfeld as the director of photography. The swift transition from fall to winter in just one day left the crew in awe, illustrating the delicate balance between capturing nature’s beauty and the unpredictability of the elements.
