レビュー (Amazon)
One of the classiest comedies of the 1980s, Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally (1989) stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as good friends who struggle to keep their relationship from becoming romantic. Rather than take the easy route of licensing classic performances of the Great American Songbook, director Reiner enlisted a young, then-obscure Harry Connick Jr. to offer his own readings of these 1930s and 1940s staples. Though Connick plays it fairly straight, he injects his interpretations with stylistic flair and formidable technical facility ("Stompin' At The Savoy"). The big-band charts of Marc Shaiman fuel tracks such as "It Had To Be You" and "I Could Write A Book," while Connick switches to a more poignant mode in takes of "Autumn In New York" and "Where Or When." In other moments his joyful vocals counterpoint the young couple's witty battle by presenting love as something simple and uncomplicated ("Our Love Is Here To Stay"). Though Crystal and Ryan allow true love to wear them down at the end, Connick makes sure the listener stays one step ahead of them along the way. An inspired performance of exemplary material. --Kevin Mulhall
