Summary
Recreating his stage role, José Ferrer stars as Edmond Rostand's Cyrano, a 17th-century French cavalier, poet and master swordsman. This beloved tale of romance and swashbuckling came to the screen in this lavish production from producer Stanley Kramer. Cyrano is madly in love with the beautiful Roxanne, but assumes that she'd never love him back due to his cathedral of a nose, so he reluctantly aids the handsome, but simple Christian in the pursuit of his one true love.
Notes
Based on the play by Edmond Rostand, translated from the French by Brian Hooker.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1950.
