ITF Read: The Princess Bride (1973 novel)
So much of what makes THE PRINCESS BRIDE a cult classic comes straight out of William Goldman\u2019s novel, but is it worth reading for die hard fans? Or if you\u2019re on the fence about the movie, could it help make you into a fan? In episode 148, Luke & James try to separate fact from fiction in this classic fantasy tale.
Topics: the role of S. Morgenstern, reading "Buttercup\u2019s Baby," how much the movie owes to the book, Stephen King as a character, a problem with epic fantasy, the real life tragedy behind\xa0Inigo Montoya\u2019s mission, Fezzik as a Greek God, obsession over physical appearance, revisiting the work after many years, and daring to try a new ending.
