Despite a long and eclectic career, Cary Elwes is still probably best known for starring in this beloved fairy-tale comedy as Westley, the farm boy turned swashbuckling pirate with a Clark Gable mustache. The role is just that iconic – and Elwes cannily burnished his legacy even further when he published in 2014 a fond, chatty book about the making of the film. Post-screening, Elwes will share stories from the set of The Princess Bride – a nearly 40-year-old film that can still warm the stoniest of hearts.
