Cyrano de Bergerac

A fantastic technical achievement and a genuinely funny single-take scene. Reminded me of Danny Kaye in The Court Jester...that's a good thing.

You can't rate historical material IDK score

An Amazing piece of history

Action-packed and ahead of its time.

A perfect scene to choose for the honor of being one of the earliest filmed with sound, really, since the swagger of Coqulin's Cyrano is equal parts physical presence and line delivery. There are only so many unfiltered glimpses back into the theater of the 19th century, and this is as good a one as you could ask for.

Great achievement!
