​Never Go In Against a Sicilian When a Playoff Roster Is on the Line!– byMario CrescibeneHello, and welcome to Turner Classic Movies. In tonight’s special edition, we uncover a long-lost secret from the set of one of the most beloved films ever made: The Princess Bride.We all know the famous scene where Vizzini, the arrogant mercenary boss — and Westley, disguised as “the Man in Black,” — have a battle of wits which results in Vizzini confidently poisoning himself:This scene has been studied and analyzed ever since the movie became a cult classic, but only recently did archivists uncover something long-forgotten deep in the Hollywood studio vaults: a reel of audio with no title or markings of any kind, apart from a single date scrawled on the case — matching the same day the iconic scene was filmed. What it contained was audio never heard before from one of the takes.There was no accompanying footage found, but what was on that audio tape revealed a highly experimental artistic process. During the filming, Rob Reiner greatly encouraged the cast and crew to embrace improvisation and test the limits of each scene.

Behold![With that Vizzini gestures to four horse-drawn carts.]Vizzini: Before you are four carts. In each cart I have placed a group of your Guardians.In the first cart you have Ramirez, Rocchio, Bazzana, and Lowe. In the second cart are Kwan, Adell, DeLauter, and Martinez. The third cart contains Bailey, Hedges, and Fry. And the fourth cart has Genao, Schneemann, and Halpin.Fourteen of your Guardians in all. Half of your 28-man playoff roster.Have I captured your attention?Man in Black: You have indeed. Yet surely there’s more to this little game of yours. Go on.Vizzini: Gladly!The four carts before you contain players bound for the playoff roster — but now I must draw your attention down below to the ship anchored in the waters surrounding the Cliffs of Insanity. There you will see a small clipper filled with another group of players about to be shipped back to Columbus. Aboard are: Valera, Velazquez, Huff, Manzardo, and Ingle. You must choose one of those players on the ship, and exchange them with one of the players in the carts.Man in Black:(smirks)You’ve devised quite the battle of wits. Vizzini:Wait till I get
