Overview

A quarrelsome, hot-tempered, and unattractive swordsman falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful woman and woos her for a handsome but slow-witted suitor. A witty and eloquent drama.

Burgess presents a glittering modern translation of Rostand's masterpiece--now a motion picture starring Gerard Depardieu, winner of the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor.

Library Journal

These clever packages combine a classic text with a DVD of a film version. The Holmes volume's 22 stories accompany Terror by Night and The Woman in Green, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Hunchback looms over the Lon Chaney silent version, while Cyrano includes the popular 1950 Jos Ferrer flick. Sweet for the price. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
