It doesnt get any more scintillating for him when he is introduced to the lovelorn heroine Buttercup (Robin Wright) who has lost the love of her life Westley (Cary Elwes) and in return been saddled with the foppish Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarendon). Fortunately for her, she is kidnapped by a rather un-intimidating band of felons led by Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) with the giant Fezzik (André René Roussimoff) and elegant swordsman Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) in...
