Mark Knopfler, perhaps best known for his stint in Dire Straits, turns composer on this soundtrack to The Princess Bride, the 1987 movie adaptation of the William Goldman novel. This soundtrack is in keeping with the theme of the film, and it’s almost ambient feel mean that this record does not overtake the imagery it works alongside. Knopfler here uses all of his skills and talents as a composer to create a magical soundtrack.
