As a fan of the classic movie, naturally I got curious about how it was made.
It gave me the urge to rewatch the film and going in knowing some details made me even enjoy it more. Like “Hah, Wesley’s walk into the fire swamp makes so much more sense knowing his toe is actually broken.” and “Come on, that ‘Inconceivable’ is fantastic-Danny Devito couldn’t do that!”
There are also inserts from many of the casts, their fears, thoughts, and their own funny moments to share.
So definitely would recommend for anyone who loves the film. It shows that anything made with a lot of heart, really shines and will touch the heart of those who come.

If you love The Princess Bride (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), you will adore this delightful story of its filming. Though Cary Elwes is the narrator of this story (and an excellent one), the book also features commentary from many notable members of the cast and crew. The sheer joy they took in filming this movie is abundantly clear throughout and makes this book shine. Have fun storming the castle!
