Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 12/6/62

The classic drama tells of the 17th Century Gascon guardsman whose sword and pen fought hypocrisy, pride and prejudice. Cyrano, the French gallant with the celebrated "nose of mine that marches on before me by a quarter of an hour" with his dash and humor win over the affections of the fair Roxane for another suitor, the dull dim-witted Christian.moreless
