Imagine you're a kid on your first truly big gig in a feature film. Imagine that that film, over the course of the next several years and into the following generation, becomes a beloved classic. Cary Elwes doesn't have to imagine. He had had well-received roles in a few smaller films, but nothing on the level of a production directed by Rob Reiner, and featuring luminaries such as Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Peter Cook and so many others.

A charming bit of nostalgia for fans of The Princess Bride. Cary Elwes gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie. He reads the audiobook, with almost every surviving cast member adding their voices as well.

I listened to the audio book version and it was absolutely wonderful. As a huge fan of the movie, it was so fun to hear about the making of the movie told by the actors themselves.

I really enjoyed this one.
