The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride is a 1973 comic adventure novel, with a touch of romance, by William Goldman.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was originally released by Warner Brothers in 1987. It was written and recorded by Mark Knopfler, the only person Rob Reiner felt could create a soundtrack to capture the film's quirky yet romantic nature. Reiner was an admirer of Knopfler's previous work but did not know him before working on the film – he sent the script to him hoping he would agree to score the movie. He agreed on one condition: that somewhere in the film Rob Reiner include the baseball cap he wore as Marty DiBergi in This is Spinal Tap. Reiner was unable to produce the original cap, but did include a similar cap in the grandson's room. Later Knopfler said he was joking.
