    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When asked to name his favorite thing about making this film, André René Roussimoff replied, without skipping a beat, "Nobody looks at me." He felt he was treated as an equal, without people staring at him because of his size.
    • Goofs
      Vizzini mentions Australia's convict colonies during the movie. This may seem anachronistic since the movie has a medieval setting, but this story is fantasy not history. In fact, its being told as a fairy tale from a grandfather to his grandson. In the novel, this was just one of many (intentionally contradictory) clues about when the story takes place.
    • Quotes

      Buttercup: We'll never survive.

      Westley: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

    • Crazy credits
      Buttercup is referred to on-screen by name, but is only credited as "The Princess Bride."
    • Alternate versions
      Current AMC broadcasts in the US use the sped-up 25 fps PAL video from a 24 fps film source.
    • Connections

    A joyous tale
    The simplest pleasures in life are the best, and this film is one of them. Combining a rather basic storyline of love and adventure this movie transcends the usual weekend fair with wit and unmitigated charm. Every character is a delight and you just want to see more of them. "The Princess Bride" is based on the unsurpassed novel by William Goldman, who also penned the screenplay. While this is a movie review, I cannot recommend the book on which it is based more highly. It is quite simply the most humorous, enthralling fable ever written and will fill in many details that were impossible to include on the screen. The only other movie of this type that I can think of that is this much fun was Danny Kaye's "The Court Jester," another costumed comedy/adventure/romance that I also highly recommend.
