1950 | Intimate Excellent

As we prepare our upcoming new signed/spoken version of Cyrano, enjoy this scene from the 1950 movie version of the original classic, “Cyrano de Bergerac“, starring Jose Ferrer.

In our funny, romantic and imaginative new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, Cyrano is a brilliant deaf poet hopelessly in love with Roxy, a beautiful hearing woman. But she doesn’t understand sign language and instead loves Chris, his hearing brother. Can Cyrano express his love to Roxy with his hands? Or must he teach Chris to woo her, to “speak his words” for him? A new Sign Language spin on a classic love story.
