Sleepless in Seattle (1993 Nora Ephron & scr)

Jeff Arch came up with satisfying, referential story which he, Ephron and David Ward wrote for the screen. Opens with Jimmy Durante singing 'As Time Goes By', much reference to An Affair To Remember. Ross Malinger (contrary to my expectations, still acting - I was expecting him to be a CEO or somesuch) is Tom Hanks' son; Meg Ryan is clearly with the wrong bloke, wimpy Bill Pullman. With Rita Wilson, David Hyde Pierce.

Most impressive photography by Sven Nykvist.


For chemistry and warmth, Ryan and Hanks are a difficult couple to beat.
