This comes to a head with Westley and Buttercup’s reconciliation scene. The Princess Bride is as much about Goldman and the art of adaptation as it is about Westley or Buttercup or the rest, since his character is constantly at war with Morgenstern and his choices. But perhaps none is as beloved as the Rob Reiner–directed The Princess Bride, for which Goldman adapted his own 1973 novel, a tale of “true love and high adventure.” (Deep Throat wasn’t the one who came up with “ Follow the money.”) Those instincts were just as acute when Goldman was writing his own work, turning novels such as Marathon Man and original screenplays like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid into equally enduring cinematic classics.
Goldman knew exactly which tangents of a story wouldn’t work on film and when a choice piece of original dialogue was needed to sell a scene. William Goldman’s screenplay for The Princess Bride is a perfect example of the old saw “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” The Oscar-winning writer, who died last week at the age of 87, was a master storyteller, and his skills were never sharper than when he was adapting a book for the big screen.
