...Ferrer in the Oscar-winning film version. But the movie ran only 112 min.; the R.S.C. Cyrano soldiers on at nearly twice that length. More important, Anthony Burgess's verse translation, while lean and clever ("Our devil's changed into a Christian brother,/ Attack one nostril and he turns the other"), irons out the swellings of Rostand's perfervid rhetoric.

...latest remake of the movie A Star Is Born, a rock-'n'-roll manager has a cache of cocaine ready backstage at an outdoor concert. When Kris Kristofferson, playing the rock star, arrives, the manager gives him a "one and one"-a toot in each nostril-just before he leaps onstage. Fireworks...
