Outdoor Film at the Modern: THE PRINCESS BRIDE

  • Friday July 01, 2016 7:30 PM

SOLD OUT

 

Bring a blanket, dust off your tiara, and let’s celebrate with an outdoor screening by the Modern’s reflecting pond.

A delightfully postmodern fairy tale, The Princess Bride (1987) is a deft, intelligent mix of swashbuckling, romance, and comedy that takes an age-old damsel-in-distress story and makes it fresh. Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, and Mandy Patinkin star in this fairytale adventure about a beautiful princess and the gallant hero who rescues her from an evil villain. Directed by Rob Reiner with a screenplay by William Goldman, it's an enchanting and enduring classic.
