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.
During the balcony scene, Cyrano's white plume is dark.

Modern rendition about the gallant poet and Gascon swordsman with an enormous nose , as good as the classic starred by José Ferrer as the swordsman who has a prominent probiscis . This French film of Edmond Rostand's classic play was highly successful and desevedly so .
Adapted, and so forth. Etc.
Famed swordsman and poet Cyrano de Bergerac is in love with his cousin Roxane. She is unaware of this and does not feel the same way about him.
Summary : near the middle of the 17th century, Cyrano de Bergerac is the most independent-minded and talented poet, the most feared duelist, and, in the "Cadets de Gascogne" Regiment, one of the most valorous military men on the place of Paris.Yet, secretly, he feels miserable...
How fast can character development be accomplished without stereotypes? See Jose Ferrer in Cyrano de Bergerac, and George C Scott in Patton.
My prior experience with Cyrano De Bergerac was a knowledge that Cyrano was the big nosed guy who set someone else up to love Roxanne. That and that the real Cyrano wrote arguably the earliest science fiction with a story of Moon Travel where people had books for earrings.
France, 1640: Cyrano, the charismatic swordsman-poet with the absurd nose, hopelessly loves the beauteous Roxane.She, in turn, confesses to Cyrano her love for the handsome but tongue- tied Christian.
Try as I may, I can't imagine seeing anyone play the role as well as the unforgettable Jose Ferrer. He had all of the elements that make for such a faithful and total performance— voice, diction, carriage, all of the dramatic elements that such a larger-than-life character demand.
A great performance by Jose Ferrer highlighted by his receiving of the Academy Award for best actor of 1950 in this film based on the Edmund Rostand novel.A story of tragic love, Mala Powers played Roxane, the girl who admits at film's end that she has lost 2 loves.
