A classic tale of unrequited love comes to Buzz Classic Movies on Saturday night with a streaming presentation of “Cyrano de Bergerac,” starring Jose Ferrer.
The 1950 classic has earned a 74% critics’ score based on 27 reviews and an 80% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes’ “Popcornmeter” based on more than 2,500 ratings.
“Poet, romantic and sword fighter Cyrano de Bergerac (Jose Ferrer) loves the beautiful Roxane (Mala Powers), but although he is proud enough of his bulbous proboscis that he regularly duels those who dare mock it, he fears she could never love a man with such an enormous nose,” says the Rotten Tomatoes summary of the movie. “When he learns that she loves the handsome guardsman Christian (William Prince), Cyrano provides the tongue-tied young man with the words of love and devotion he wishes he could say to Roxane himself.”
“Cyrano de Bergerac” streams at 8 p.m. Saturday on The Signal’s streaming channel, The Buzz, available at buzzscv.com as well as streaming platforms including Roku and Apple TV.
