"It's a fairytale, but it's not really just a fairytale. It's a fairytale for adults. There's a satirical edge to it. But what runs through the core of the story of The Princess Bride is true love, which is a fairytale notion, but I believe that at the core of any good relationship between a man and a woman is true love, even in living in a complex society of the 80s where relationships are not easy and they're not simple. If a relationship is going to work and have any kind of longevity, there has to be some core of real, true love there, and I believe those things." — Director Rob Reiner talking about "The Princess Bride" in an interview with CBC in 1987.
