Mayor Deebs:,Fred Willard ” I would rather be with the people of this town than with the finest people in the world”
"Cyrano de Bergerac" written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand, is the inspiration for the movie “Roxanne”.
In the movie Cyrano is “Charlie” nick named C.D. Funny.
Played by Steve Martin C.D. has an unusually large nose, a big heart and sense of humor. He is intelligent and articulate. He will ignore nearly any offense except insults or jokes about his nose. C. D. has learned to defend himself and is quick to attack when he feels his nose has been slighted.
C.D. is the fire chief and recent recruit Chris McConnell, Rick Rossovich, is the opposite of C.D. in some ways. Chris’s nose is “normal”, he is inarticulate and shy around women. He is so shy in fact that he is unable to speak to them.
Both Chris and C.D. are attracted to Roxanne, Daryl Hannah. They join forces in a creative scheme to gain her interest. C.D. supplies the words and Chris supplies the looks.
This movie is a light hearted spin on the importance of knowing and accepting who we truly are.
"Roxanne" might be fun to watch outside under the stars. The character Roxanne’s passion is astronomy. She spots a comet, something I thought I would never live to see. So far I have seen three of them.
