Roxanne

Roxanne

Small-town fire chief C. D. Bales (Steve Martin, in a wonderfully skillful verbal and physical performance) is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary nose. Astronomer Roxanne Kowalski (Daryl Hannah) has just come to his town of Nelson, Washington in order to get away from the city and to get a clearer view of a comet she is tracking. When both Bales and a handsome-but-slow fireman fall in love with Roxanne, Bales supplies the words while the other supplies the kisses. Includes a great cast of small-town characters played by among others, Michael J. Pollard and Shelley Duvall. Based on "Cyrano De Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand, this warm romantic comedy is one of Martin's best.
