Both swordsman and poet, Cyrano was capable of the grand passion. There was but one sizable obstacle to his complete success — his nose. "’Tis a rock, a crag, a cape!" retorts Cyrano to a nobleman who has made fun of the nose but lacks Cyrano’s wit. The 19th-century French dramatist Rostand seized on Cyrano's sensitiveness about his nose and based his poignant romantic comedy on it. a ' ; » I Rostand’s Cyrano has found the I love of his life in the fair Roxane. I But shall Roxane give her love to I creature with a proboscis like Cyrano's? Not likely. Cyrano, 1 therefore, will do the next best Roxane thing. The soldier Christian, handsome but empty-headed, shall woo the maiden with Cyrano’s romantic verses. •lose Ferrer repeats for television the role that won him resounding praise on the Broadway stage and an Oscar in the movies. Co-starring is Chaplin’s leading lady of ‘‘Limelight,’’ Claire Bloom. And in the role of Christian is Christopher Plummer, hit of the Shakespeare festival at Stratford, Conn.
