The summertime Screen on the Green series of free outdoor movie showings will end in Burry Park this Saturday, Aug. 17 with the classic 1987 film “The Princess Bride,” sponsored by the Landmark Inn. The well-remembered romance/comedy/fairy tale follows Westley, played by Cary Elwes, as he rescues his true love Buttercup, played by Robin Wright, from a wedding with a villainous prince. Along the way he is confronted by everything from the revenge-seeking fencer Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), to the scheming outlaw Vinizzi (Wallace Shawn) and his giant assistant Fezzik (Andre the Giant).
The showing begins at dusk, or later than 8:15 p.m. Moviegoers are invited to bring out chairs and blankets as well as drinks and snacks. In case of rain, the showing will relocate to the Coach T.B. Thomas Sports Center at Byerly Park, found at 701 W. Washington St.
“The Princess Bride” will mark the end of the summer movies presented by the City of Hartsville. Coming up next will be the Halloween-themed Scream on the Green showing of “Ghostbusters” in Burry Park on Friday, Oct. 25.
