Strap yourself in because we are starting Listener Request Month on 100 things we learned from film.This week whilst watching The Princess Bride we discover that we hardly knew Andre The Giant and the dictionary definition of a particular word.Thanks to Gav at Be there with Belson for his pick this week.

Adapted by William Goldman from his 1973 novel The Princess Bride, it tells the story of a farmhand named Westley, accompanied by companions befriended along the way, who must rescue his true love Princess Buttercup from the odious Prince Humperdinck. The film essentially preserves the novel's narrative style by presenting the story as a book being read by a grandfather (Peter Falk) to his sick grandson (Fred Savage).The film was first released in the United States on September 25, 1987,and was well received by critics at the time, but was only a modest box office success. Over time the film has become a cult film.
