Cyrano de Bergerac is a 1950 American adventure comedy film based on the 1897 French verse drama Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. It uses the poet Brian Hooker's 1923 English blank-verse translation as the basis for its screenplay. The film was the first motion picture version in English of Rostand's play, though there were several earlier adaptations in different languages. The 1950 film was produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by Michael Gordon. José Ferrer received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his starring performance as Cyrano de Bergerac. Mala Powers played Roxane, and William Prince portrayed Christian de Neuvillette.

Film credit: Michael Gordon
