So I had a chance to refresh my memory.
Well, it wasn't too long before the boredom set in... frankly, I didn't see much to hang my hat on.
And the nose looked FAKE!

The story is a fantasy, not historical fact!
Each film adaptation had a lying Pinnochio size fantasy nose. The story is a fable so the nose size is supposed to be absurd.
Perhaps you should have hung your hat on his nose.
Perhaps you were bored because the original story was old hat. Too familiar.
Which film version of this old story is the best? I've seen 2 and Roxanne is the better of the 2.

  Well, Troy, I thought it was clear the nose comment was a joke... sigh...
  But to answer your question, I wasn't bored at all with the Depardieu version - it is a great film from many perspectives.
  And it was done in good taste. If I recall correctly, the nose in that film was not overdone, like in the Hollywood version. Call it your usual French subtlety and style. I haven't seen the Reffer version - but will see it soon.

    I may think that the best version is the..Theater version. Edmond Rostand book never shines more than on a stage.
    By the way it is ROXANE.
    And did you knew that he was a real man who lived in the XVII?

      ***And did you knew that he was a real man who lived in the XVII?
      Yes, of course. A soldier, a humanist and a satire writer. Trips to the Moon and Sun, among the other works.
      One thing for sure - his nose (although large) was NOT like Martin's.
      Do you know of a good portrait of his?

        No. One article mentioned the Le Doyen's portrait of his, but I have been unable to find it. You are closer to it - see if you can find it.
