Cary Elwes' book


Nobody mentioned it on here, so I will. Just been reading his book from last year, titled "As You Wish", which has him talking about his experience in making the film. Also, other still alive members of the cast and production weigh in as well. Very interesting read.

Yes, isn't it great? I suspect the audiobook would be even better (but does it come with the photos?). I also highly recommend this hour-long podcast promoting the book: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/nov/20/the-moment-cary-elwes-princess-bride (edited to make link)

The audio book is the best way because not only does he have the various people read their own quotes, he also does funny impressions of many of them.

Cary Elwes is a good fit for films paradying like rennasance period films, like films in medieval times in England with knights, pheasants, sword fighting, castles, princesses, etc. Cary played a similar type of role in the spoof "Robin Hood, men in tights".
