Originally, Ephron wanted to call the film ''How They Met'' and went through several different titles. Reiner even started a contest with the crew during principal photography: whoever came up with the title won a case of [[champagne]].<ref name= "dvd1"/> In order to get into the lonely mindset of Harry when he was divorced and single, Crystal stayed by himself in a separate room from the cast and crew while they were shooting in [[Manhattan]].<ref name= "lacey"/> The script initially ended with Harry and Sally remaining friends and not pursuing a romantic relationship because she felt that was "the true ending", as did Reiner.<ref name= "dvd1"/> Eventually, Ephron and Reiner realized that it would be a more appropriate ending for them to marry, though they admit that this was generally not a realistic outcome.<ref name="featurette">{{cite news | title=How Harry Met Sally... | publisher=[[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] | work=When Harry Met Sally DVD | last=Schwarz | first=Jeffrey | year=2000}}</ref> Reiner related that the film originally had a sad ending before he met his second wife Michele, which inspired him to change the ending.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/when-harry-met-sally-director-rob-reiner-originally-sad-ending-1235828886/|title=‘When Harry Met Sally’ Director Reveals How Meeting Wife Changed Film’s Ending|publisher=Hollywood Reporter}}</ref>
When posed the film's central question, can men and women just be friends, Ryan replied, "Yes, men and women can just be friends. I have a lot of platonic (male) friends, and sex doesn't get in the way." Crystal said, "I'm a little more optimistic than Harry. But I think it is difficult. Men basically act like stray dogs in front of a supermarket. I do have platonic (women) friends, but not best, best, best friends."<ref name="peterson">{{cite news | title=When boy meets girl | work=[[USA Today]] | date=July 17, 1989 | last=Peterson | first=Karen S}}</ref> Reiner's mother [[Estelle Reiner|Estelle]] and daughter [[Tracy Reiner|Tracy]] both played roles in the film.
