My bad. It was James Goldman, although I loved both those films by William Goldman.  Relatives? One wonders... Yes, IMBd says that William is James Goldman's younger brother.

I do know one person who after reading and liking Princess Bride went looking for something else by the same author and absently picked up Lord of the Flies. This strikes me as a bad move.

That actually made me laugh out loud.
