ROXANNE (1987)

A modern day adaptation of Edmond Rostands "Cyrano De Bergerac", the film features notorious fire chief C.D. Bales: the man with the large proboscis (nose). Bales hires a new firefighter, Chris, who is, despite his deftness with a hose, all thumbs when it comes to women. When a sexy astronomer moves into town Chris immediately falls for her, though he doesn't quite have the "skills" to make the match work. Asking the charismatic C.D. Bales to assist his efforts, the last thing Chris is expecting is for Bales to have a personal motive of his own with all his suave wooing.

The cast includes: Steve Martin, Daryl Hannah, Rick Rossovich, Shelley Duvall, John Kapelos, Fred Willard, Max Alexander, Michael J. Pollard, Damon Wayans, Matt Lattanzi, and Kevin Nealon.

Director Fred Schepisi's "Roxanne" is a sweet, delightful romantic comedy.

The Roxanne Review

"Roxanne dreamed of a handsome, intelligent, romantic man.
C.D. Bales is two out of three... but looks aren't everything!"
