Crystal also revealed that before When Harry Met Sally, movies didn’t really talk about orgasms.

“Let’s face it, in the history of movies, except for porn movies, no one ever used the word orgasm,” he said. “No one ever said that. Bogart never said ‘You know Louie, this was a great orgasm.’ Gable never said ‘Frankly, I don’t give a damn about your orgasm.’ No one ever said it. And so it was shocking when it was out there and it was such a provocative idea.”

During test screenings of the movie in Los Angeles back in 1989, audiences laughed so hard that they drowned out the dialogue.

“When she starts faking it, they go bezerk,” Crystal recalled. “You couldn’t hear any dialogue. They laughed through the next scene. The roar, it was gigantic. I realised that Rob and I were now holding hands. We were gripping each other because it was so momentous a laugh.”

Ah, When Harry Met Sally. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.

When Harry Met Sally’s iconic orgasm scene almost didn’t happen
