What is the relation between the three? I never caught it in the movie and I've seen it a million times.

shareMore specifically, his sister-in-law according to Nora Ephron in the commentary, thus Victor Garber plays his brother.

It totally cracks me up when Hanks and Garber start making fun of Rita's teary-eyed dissertation of An Affair to Remember, by getting teary-eyed over the ending to The Dirty Dozen.
"God, I love that movie."
As if Garber should talk. He's in the most famous tragic love story on film.
What is the most tragic love story on film?
shareThe English patient
IMO that's the most boring love story on film (The English Patient). Watching it was like torture for me (even before Elaine agreed with me on Seinfeld!) The most tragic love story on film for me was Romeo and Juliet.

City of Angels
I always thought Rita Wilson was his sister until I heard Nora Ephron on the dvd interview say Victor was his brother. Rita's character seemed much closer to Sam than Greg did. But Nora ought to know better than I.
shareI agree.
I thought she was the sis in law.
she cares about him so much !!
makes me think how she & the deceased wife must have been close.
but at the end Tom Hanks says "You're the only family that I've got"
to Jonah as he's hugging him at the Top of the Empire State Building.
that's the part that I don't get.
Every Day Above Ground is a Great Day !!
