As You Wish

Cary Elwes, who portrayed Westley (AKA the Dread Pirate Roberts) in the movie, recounts the time spent making the movie with various comments from others involved with the movie. I've read the original book twice now (and will probably read it again). I own the DVD of the movie, don't know how many times I've seen it. This was more interesting that I would've guessed. It was fun to read. Turns out The Princess Bride is author William Goldman's favorite of those he's written and this was the project closest to his heart. That's pretty big when you realize he's the writer behind The Marathon Man and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, among others. It was also fascinating hearing what it was like to meet and work with André the Giant who portrayed Fezzik. I had trouble putting this book down and read it in two days.
