Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writes satirical articles mocking the nobility. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsmanвЂ™s respect by his conduct in the war. Furious, De Guiche, ChristianвЂ™s commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together. When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating ChristianвЂ™s voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. To help him, Cyrano composes ChristianвЂ™s love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.Д¬yrano befriends the young man, who is in CyranoвЂ™s guardsmen unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act. He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). With the last line, he stabs his opponent.Д¬yranoвЂ™s friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victimвЂ™s friends, but he is unconcerned. He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting CyranoвЂ™s enormous nose. In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (JosГ© Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). Mala Powers played Roxane, and William Prince portrayed Christian de Neuvillette. JosГ© Ferrer received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his starring performance as Cyrano de Bergerac. The 1950 film was produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by Michael Gordon. The film was the first motion picture version in English of RostandвЂ™s play, though there were several earlier adaptations in different languages. It uses poet Brian HookerвЂ™s 1923 English blank verse translation as the basis for its screenplay. Cyrano de Bergerac is a 1950 American adventure film based on the 1897 French Alexandrin verse drama Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand.
