Cyrano de Bergerac (1950)
Affublé d'un nez proéminent, Cyrano n'ose pas déclarer sa flamme à la belle Roxane qui, elle, n'a d'yeux que pour Christian... Cyrano de Bergerac est un film américain réalisé par Michael Gordon, sorti en 1950. Il s'agit de l'une des nombreuses adaptations cinématographiques de l'œuvre d'Edmond Rostand. Cyrano de Bergerac est une pièce en 5 actes écrite presque entièrement en alexandrins. Edmond Rostand la qualifie de comédie héroïque mais les analystes y reconnaissent de nombreuses influences dont la principale est le théâtre romantique ou néo-romantique. De la comédie héroïque, la pièce possède son sens de l'épique et la description d'un héros dont la vie s'organise autour de l'amour et de l'honneur. Maurice Rostand y voit une œuvre qui exalte les valeurs de l'héroïsme et qui donne à tous le « courage d'être des héros ». D'autres auteurs lui reprochent un esprit cocardier.
