Final scene of the 1950's version with Jose Ferrer and Mala Powers. Beautiful.

  • Ferrer is Cyrano. This is the saddest story ever told.

  • That's why I like it...unrequited love...story of my life...lol.

  • This scene breaks my heart & makes me weep every time I view it, but in good ways. I don't think the love of a man for a woman has ever been before - or since been expressed so precisely. His pain of a her love not returned; her understanding of that & how she lost him twice. It's good to know such beauty & art like this will never fade. Pity those who view this & 'don't get it'.

  • But society wont get it. Its long gone. To the nitwits its quite simple: Why become a fine actor, when you can become a crappy actor and star in a "reality show" and earn a good living. Face it..... its over. All you can do is mourn. Great actors are dying out.

  • "You knew they were your tears."

    "The blood was his."

    Oh man doesn't this scene just rip your heart out.

  • The script writer should be rewarded not with an Oscar or any tangible award, but with immortality.

  • Puerto Rican Jose Ferrer... :)

  • "No, but that is not in the story. When beauty says "I love you" to the beast all his ugliness changed and dissolved like magic but you see I am still the same."

  • @dravox Ah that makes sense. Thank you good sir. I just learned a new word.

  • @screaminghellion: "riven" away. Meaning "torn" or "ripped" away.

  • It is interesting to compare this version to the French 1990 (can be found on YT under the title "Cyrano De Bergerac (1990) Cyrano's Death scene French with Engish subs").

  • Dam this movie gets me all the time. One of the greatest plays/movie ever told
