Cyrano de Bergerac is a 1900 French short drama film directed by Clément Maurice,[1] featuring Benoit Constant Coquelin as Cyrano. It was shown at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition. The film, tinted with color and synchronized to a wax cylinder recording,[2] is thought to be the first film made with both color and sound.
The film seems to be an adaptation based on the first chapter, where a duel occurs in a theater in the original source material. Coquelin recites the verse which, in the play, he delivers while fighting the duel.
