From the stories both he and everyone involved in this project tell regarding the filming it’s understandable why this movie is the classic it is today. The most notable fact about this book is how generous Cary Elwes is with his fellow actors. How they were ever able to get a printable “take” I truly do not know. When I read the book The Princess Bride to my kids I had to stop often due to fits of giggles. After all, how could William Goldman have gone wrong, with such characters as Westley (aka the Farm Boy), Buttercup, Inigo Montoya, Vizzini, Fezzik, Miracle Max and his wife Valerie as well as Prince Humperdinck, Count Tyrone Rugen and many others. My initial thought was “How could I have missed this movie?” And from then on, I was entranced. I remember watching this movie for the first time on VHS. What other book would be appropriate to review on the day after Christmas but one that covers the making of the movie “The Princess Bride”? A film that is beloved by millions, including myself and my family.
