Cyrano de Bergerac(1950)
Edmond Rostand's Nineteenth Century romantic tragedy swashbuckling tale and tale comes to the screen. Cyrano de Bergerac, the poetry-spouting swordsman with the oversized nose, reluctantly aiding another man in the pursuit of his one true love, uses the handsome but inarticulate Christian to pours his heart out to the lovely Roxanne, as a conduit for his feelings,. And she, wooed by the beauty of the words, falls in love with Christian, not realizing that is Cyrano whose voice has aroused her passion.

As some probably know, Cyrano de Bergerac lapsed into the public domain and has been released on a number of substandard PD media through the years. While I can't state with any certainty exactly what elements were used for this transfer, generally speaking this is far and away the best looking Cyrano I've personally seen, though there are still some occasional problems. The elements are in remarkably decent enough shape overall, though typical age related wear and tear do show up (the final couple of minutes of the film have the worst damage, with emulsion issues and some pretty bad bleed through). The more niggling problem for some videophiles is probably going to be contrast fluctuations. Much of the film, in fact the vast majority, looks very good, with deep blacks and crisp whites, but there are moments where contrast is overblown, giving a milky white, somewhat faded sheen to the film. There are also some curious inserts here and there that almost look like they were sourced from 16mm. But these are fairly transitory issues in what is overall a very nicely sharp and well detailed high definition presentation. As is typical with these Olive releases, there doesn't appear to have been any digital tweaking, and the film retains a natural layer of grain. Cyrano de Bergerac Blu-ray, Audio QualityCyrano de Bergerac's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mix faithfully reproduces the original one track sound of this low budget film. Ferrer's sonorous voice rings out with very good fidelity and generally speaking all dialogue is presented cleanly and clearly and Dimitri Tiomkin's heroically heraldic score sounds nicely boisterous. There are occasional very minor issues with this track, including a couple of little pops and crackles along the way, but overall the track sounds clean and decently full bodied. The battle scenes, both sword play and otherwise, present the opportunity for some nice sounding foley effects, and those are offered with good fidelity and decently wide dynamic range.
