Review of Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) by Desson Thomson for Washington Post — 29 Oct 1994
This 138-minute film, comprising two thousand performers and a helluva lot of musketry, has several good scenes, including the well-known one in which Christian utters romantic praise to Roxanne from below her balcony, while de Bergerac feeds him lines.
But it can't escape Rostand's structural shortcomings.
