A 1973 book and 1987
movie by
William Goldman,
The Princess Bride is about the trials of true love in the Renaissance European nation of Florin.
Both the book and movie are
inconceivably well done (albeit in very different ways) and very funny (the movie won "
Funniest Movie Ever
" at
The Sluggite Zone), as a sort of romantic-comedy-adventure. If this summary
note which is not an explanation does not do
The Princess Bride justice, then the sheer number of tropes named after lines from the movie should.
