Nora
Ephron was known for her ability to get into the minds of women. She was also
masterful at a film genre that allows moviegoers’ escapism and the guarantee of
a happy ending. She’s the genius behind classics like When Harry Met Sally
and Sleepless in Seattle. A new book dissects how Ephron made those
films shine and how her detailed hand made them classic romantic comedies. We
talk to Erin Carlson, author of I’ll Have What She’s Having: How Nora
Ephron’s Three Iconic Films Saved the Romantic Comedy, about the book.
