A feature film starring Jose Ferrer as Cyrano and Mala Powers as Roxanne.
French poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he can't stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury. He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. He confesses that he is in love with his cousin Roxane, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writes satirical articles mocking the nobility.
