"The Princess Bride" was adapted by William Goldman from his own novel, which he says was inspired by a book he read as a child, but which seems to have been cheerfully transformed by his wicked adult imagination. Princess Buttercup’s legacy didn’t end with a kiss, but with a sacrifice for another woman whom she loved more dearly than life. (I hope I'm not giving anything away you didn't expect the princess's loved one to stay dead indefinitely, did you?)

It is Shawn who tosses the princess to the Screaming Eels, with great relish.Īnother funny episode involves Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya, a heroic swordsman with a secret.

Princess Buttercup is a beautiful farm girl who lives in the country of Florin and is the true love of Westley. In its own peculiar way, "The Princess Bride" resembles "This Is Spinal Tap," an earlier film by the same director, Rob Reiner. It ends when you decide which Princess Bride wine to choose and we both drink to find out who is right.and who is dead. The moment the princess is taken away by agents of the evil Prince Humperdinck ( Chris Sarandon), "The Princess Bride" reveals itself as a sly parody of sword and sorcery movies, a film that somehow manages to exist on two levels at once: While younger viewers will sit spellbound at the thrilling events on the screen, adults, I think, will be laughing a lot. Well, it's definitely going to have a lot of Screaming Eels.
