Plots(1)
France, 1640: Cyrano, the charismatic swordsman-poet with the absurd nose, hopelessly loves the beauteous Roxanne; she, in turn, confesses to Cyrano her love for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian. The chivalrous Cyrano sets up with Christian an innocent deception, with tragic results. (Fabulous Films)

I'm not particularly fond of when theater is transferred to the big screen, but in this case, it didn't bother me as much, and I actually enjoyed this theatrical performance. Black and white really suits the film, and José Ferrer is a great representative of the long-nosed Cyrano. His dialogues/monologues fit perfectly and flow excellently. ()
