Billy Crystal may be best known today as the only modern comic capable ot turning the Oscar ceremony into Must See TV.

But his intermittent film career did produce an unqualified gem, “When Harry Met Sally.”

My first take on “Sally” was that director Rob Reiner ripped off “Annie Hall.” But a more recent viewing showed the film is far better than an homage to Allen’s Oscar winner. It stands even taller today than it ever did, especially since quality rom-coms are truly an endangered species.
