Anvil! The Story Of Anvil

The Princess Bride

Rob Reiner, who's said to have been wanting to make a movie of the William Goldman novel for many more years than he'd actually been a moviemaker, is not at this point a good enough director to cover up for a not good enough idea: he's still tied too tightly to the TV sitcom sensibility , all the way down to the clunking closeup of whoever happens ...
