A shirt -factory secretary, a shy dendrologist, and a platoon lothario? It sounds wonderful!
I don't know if it's available on VHS or DVD, but I recommend finding out. It's not perfect as either a romantic comedy or a Cyrano retelling, but frankly, there are few perfect movies in the world. I'm glad this one exists and hasn't been entirely forgotten; it's another of these Golden Age B-pictures, like The Canterville Ghost or Three Strangers, which I love because their stars are ordinarily only the supporting players. And although there are some wobbles here and there, I appreciated that someone in the world was sufficiently annoyed by aspects of Rostand to write a version where Roxane gets to be angry at Cyrano for lying to her.
