Kiss Me Kate is the best musical that Cole Porter wrote It makes enormous demands on all aspects of the pro duction actors scenery orchestra costumes and all Sandy MacDonald appeared to ap preciate Globes interpretation of The Princess Bride By NADEAU Herald Special At last a movie for the whole family that is funny thrilling and romantic No It a not Cinderella but The Princess Bride This Is Rob Reiner s latest film and It Is a delightful satire of the movies that were fashionable several decades ago It is also a slight twist on the popular fairy ales It has It all an evil prince a beautiful princess to- be a young man ennobled by true love a couple of warmhearted villains a nasty Count and an eccen tric hagcouple in the woods Add some gorgeous scenery and a delicious sense of humour and you have a small feast You have The Princess Bride The movie is actually a book read by a sagacious grandfather to his relic tan i and captive grandson The grandson is sick In bed and unwill gives up his video games to listen to this silly book Within minutes he and the audience are The tale follows the adventures of Buttercup a beautiful maiden and Wesley her true love Wesley goes off to seek his fortune and is reported dead murdered by the evil Pirate Roberts Five years alter his death Butter cup has become betrothed to the handsome but oh so evil Prince She is kidnapped by the hilarious short and conceited Vezzini Wallace Shawn and his henchmen Montoya and Andre the Giant Fortunately a masked man follows them and rescues her killing Vczzini but letting the two honourable bandits live Well who could be the masked man with the adolescent moustache You guessed It its Wesley back from Tils sojourn as the Ginger break Dec is a D Day and Hills Public Libraries will be runn ing two

There are a few spaces left so register by visiting the Acton or Georgetown Libraries or call or 8732661 GEORGETOWN CINEMAS GUELPH ST 1 LAST DAYS IT ONLY LOOKS LIKE THE GOOD LIFE LESS MfWttflfflKr THAN ZERO Pirate Roberts a lovely satire on retirement and piracy here But their troubles are not over yet Pin- sued and captured by the bloodhound our lovers look doomed But as the grandson paints out Wesley can t die and the Princess can marry Humperdinck Ah but who knows There are lots of peril and rescues enough to satisfy the kid in all of us The movie has a marvellous script by Goldman based on his book replete with very funny lines and memorable characters The cast is wonderful Is the hero Wesley He is Ihe perfect golden boy out loo young and slight to be a real successor to Doug Fair banks or I found his moustache annoying But I think Reiner intended Wesley to look a lit tie bit silly as Inigo Mon is terrific a villain by finan cial need but a true hero at heart His looks and especially his voice are very reminiscent of Gene Kelly Andre the Giant is the giant with a heart of gold Wallace Shawn Is hysterical as the doomed Vezzini Mel Smith of Alas Smith and Jones is the philosophical albino hump back Peter Cook a favourite of mine Is the lisping prelate forced to rush through the marriage vows Chris Sarandan plays the scheming Prince Humperdinck Christopher Guest Is Count the Prince henchman a coward with a scientific bent Describe ex actly what kind of pain you are feel record it for posterity Billy Cristal and Carol Kane are the feuding and hilarious cronies who try to revive Wesley So give me a paper cut and squeeze lemon on it why don t you Robin Wright Is the beautiful Buttercup dreadful name and Peter the narrator grandfather Although Cinderella was the big attraction last Sunday matinee the kids that were In the theatre with me seemed to love the movie If you like satires that work like This Is Spinal Tap and unlike Spaceballs then this movie Is perfect for you And for those of us who miss pirates and this is a totally satisfying walk down a well loved path Kiss Me Kale He acknowledged he originality and artistic flair that Shirley Ashenden as director ap plied to the show He was extremely complimentary regarding the talents of Terry Champ as musical director Evelyn Webster s unique and Imaginative choreography also impressed Mr Mr
