As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of… de Cary Elwes

What a great book! Cary Elwes is a wonderful writer. Pair that with the subject being a "behind the scenes" look at one of my favorite movies of all time, and this book is a treat to read. It's a great blend of learning a little about Elwes, learning a little about the filming process, and learning a lot about the making of The Princess Bride. Elwes also peppers the book with quotes and excerpts from other cast and crew members, so you get a complete story of certain events.

For sure I'm going to watch the movie again to see if I can catch some of the things he mentions!… (mais)

As you wish : inconceivable tales from the making… de Cary Elwes

A sweet, light-hearted reminiscence of the making of a wonderful film. Elwes has nothing but lovely things to say about the whole production, and as a fan it made me smile.
