Who Says As You Wish In The Princess Bride?

The Princess Bride is a cult classic film that tells the story of Westley, a farm boy who secretly loves Buttercup. The phrase “As you wish” is a famous line spoken by Westley when Buttercup asks him to polish her. The phrase is a symbol of deep and unconditional love, a willingness to go above and beyond to make someone happy, even if it means putting their desires before your own. Cary Elwes, who played the iconic role of Westley in the film, has written a book about his experiences making the film, entitled As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From The Making Of The Princess Bride. The book shares his experiences making the film, including the iconic scene where Westley says “As you wish” to Buttercup, the true love of his life.

The book, authored by actor Cary Elwes, includes never-before-told stories, exclusive photographs, and interviews with costars Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, and Mandy Patinkin. The book also includes quotes from the movie, such as “True Love is the greatest thing in the world-except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.

Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies, and Twentieth Century Fox are celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Princess Bride, bringing the iconic movie to life.
