Goofs:
Continuity: In the film's opening scene, after Cyrano starts to leave the theatre along with the others, Roxane bids good night to DeGuiche and Valvert and seems to exit, but moments later she is seen watching Cyrano's duel in the theatre. We never see her re-enter.

Cyrano has always been one of my favorite stage plays. I always felt I could very much relate to the feelings of being different. When I finally saw the film version, it took my breath away. What a spectacular piece of acting by Jose Ferrer. It was everything that the swashbucklers from the 30s and 40s were supposed to be!
I have always thought, however, in this version, that Cyrano should have ignored that ingrate Roxanne and run off with the Orange Girl (Elena Verdugo). Yowza!
