I’m just cynical enough to suspect some gloss here, as he gets downright effusive at times, but I’m optimistic enough to believe it’s, oh, 95% true.
If you believe Cary, the cast and crew of The Princess Bride are the most wonderful, talented people you could ever meet, and the filming was just about the most fun you could ever have. Cary (and after listening to this, you’ll start calling him Cary too) takes us through the challenges of bringing the screenplay to production, how he got involved in the project and why he was especially excited (having loved the book as a kid), inside stories of excitement and mishaps in the filming, stories about every major figure involved, and what the impact has been on all their lives. The book is enormous fun too, and this look behind the scenes at the making of the movie just adds to it all. The Princess Bride ranks high on my list of favorite movies as a nearly perfect one (more on that in a bit). Because Cary Elwes reads the audio, and it’s an utter delight. Though really, you should all listen to it: the audiobook of As You Wish : Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes and Joe Layden.
