Ron Perlman has recalled the making of the 1986 medieval mystery The Name of the Rose, describing how the production built a vast set on a hilltop near Rome for its monastery and village. He shared the anecdote alongside a memory of co-star Sean Connery during the climactic scene in which the library tower burns, prompting fresh interest in the cult adaptation of Umberto Eco's novel.

Why now: A new retrospective interview with Ron Perlman about the film has revived nostalgia and behind-the-scenes interest.
