One of the true film classics with Jose Ferrer in the role that he made a legend... and for which he won an academy award. He brings to life the daredevil swashbuckling-poet with the absurdly long nose. He mocked the pompous, dared to duel with the powerful and hid his secret love from his beautiful cousin, the fair Roxanne. She, in turn, confesses to him her love for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian. Cyrano, in an act of chivalry, sets the stage for Roxanne and Christian to fall in love, with tragic results.
