Plots(1)
Jose Ferrer stars as the poetry-spouting soldier with the oversized nose in this faithful adaptation of Edmond Rostand's romantic tragedy. Using the handsome but inarticulate Christian as a conduit for his feelings, the ugly but eloquent Cyrano pours his heart out to the lovely Roxanne. And she, wooed by the beauty of the words, falls in love with Christian, not realizing that is Cyrano whose voice has aroused her passion. (official distributor synopsis)

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.
