English Summary:
Cyrano de Bergerac is a 1950 American adventure film based on the 1897 French Alexandrin verse drama Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. It uses poet Brian Hooker's 1923 English blank verse translation as the basis for its screenplay.[3] The film was the first motion picture version in English of Rostand's play, though there were several earlier adaptations in different languages.
The 1950 film was produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by Michael Gordon. José Ferrer received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his starring performance as Cyrano de Bergerac. Mala Powers played Roxane, and William Prince portrayed Christian de Neuvillette.
The film lapsed into the public domain in the mid-1980s.
Hungarian Summary:
Cyranót, a 17. századi költőt és párbajhőst Párizs-szerte csúfolják formátlan orra miatt. Legnagyobb bánatára szíve hölgye is csak egy üresfejű szépfiút méltat figyelemre. Cyranónak meg kell elégednie azzal, hogy vetélytársa nevében romantikus szerelmes leveleket írhat, amelyekkel nyomban meg is hódítja a szép hölgy szívét. Csak évekkel később, Cyrano halála után döbben rá a körülrajongott szépasszony arra, hogy valójában a levelek számára ismeretlen szerzőjét szerette.
