Samurai Saga
Cyrano de Bergerac is given the Japanese Samurai treatment with the legendary Toshiro Mifune as the large-nosed warrior with a poet's heart. He is utterly engaging as the scruffy samurai who longs for love but can't face the object of his desire. Witty and not lacking in samurai action and intrigue, this is a grand interpretation of Edmond Rostand's classic play.
