Fri., Nov. 22, 7 p.m. • Jefferson Theatre, Beaumont • $4+
Jefferson Theatre will host the showing of the 1987 fantasy adventure comedy film, “The Princess Bride.” Directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner, the movie starts Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn and Andre the Giant. Adapted by William Goldman’s 1973 novel, the film tells the story of a farm boy-turned pirate named Westley, who is accompanied by companions that he has befriended along the way to rescue his true love Princess Buttercup from the odious Prince Humperdinck. The film preserves the novel’s metafictional narrative style by presenting the story as a book being read by a grandfather to his sick grandson.
