I suppose it’s barely possible there are people out there who don’t know every single detail about “The Princess Bride,” the cult-favorite movie directed by Rob Reiner and written by William Goldman, based on Goldman’s beloved romantic/comedy/adventure/fantasy book. I don’t think I personally know anyone like that, but I accept that statistically there must be someone like that out there.
But even if you know every behind-the-scenes detail — and you probably don’t, not all of them — you’ll still enjoy reading Cary Elwes talk about them in his new book, “As You Wish,” co-written with Joe Layden, on sale now. With charming self-deprecation and a sincere appreciation for the movie and the people involved, Elwes takes you from the moment he got the call from his agent all the way to the emotional 25th anniversary showing in 2012 in front of cheering crowds who knew every line.
Yes, there are the stories about Billy Crystal playing Miracle Max for 10 hours a day, for three days, without ever repeating a line, causing Reiner to leave the set so his constant, hysterical laughter wouldn’t ruin the shot again. There’s the story about Robin Wright’s dress catching on fire in the Fire Swamp (as it was intended to) and screenwriter William Goldman, who was on set, who had written the scene, screaming to help her. There’s the story of the actor in the Rodent of Unusual Size suit getting held up by police the day of shooting, and the one about Elwes trying to hide the fact that he broke a toe driving Andre the Giant’s ATV so he wouldn’t get fired, and how they managed to shoot the Cliffs of Insanity scene even though Andre couldn’t personally hold any weight and Wallace Shawn was terrified of heights.
