Georgios Merkouris

Based on William Goldman’s 1973 novel of the same name, “The Princess Bride” is one of the most enduring (and endearing) cult classics of all time. The secret to its appeal lies mostly in its theatrical nature. The story and characters both earnest and satirical. It starts off with a highly melodramatic tone, then reveals its true nature, that of a parody of adventure romance films and epic fantasies.
