Roxanne

Based On the book by Edmond Rostand

Roxanne is a 1987 American romantic comedy film directed by Fred Schepisi and written by and starring Steve Martin. Also starring Daryl Hannah, Rick Rossovich, Shelley Duvall, Fred Willard, and Michael J. Pollard, the film is a contemporary adaptation of Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac. It follows Charlie "C.D." Bales, a witty and well-liked fire chief whose insecurity about his unusually large nose prevents him from expressing his feelings for Roxanne Kowalski, a visiting astronomy student. Martin developed the project after years of admiring earlier adaptations of Cyrano de Bergerac and spent several years writing the screenplay.
