This is s great adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, a play from the late 1800's based on the true story of a French Nobleman in the 17th century. If you've never read the book or seen the play, it's set in the same time period as the 3 musketeers and there are lots of little references to that period. For example, when he uses the tennis racket you find a direct connection to the rapiers used in the original. Instead of firefighters, he's around a group of comical soldiers.

[@Grynslvr2]

Dang! Beat me by 5 minutes. Folks, do yourselves a favor and check out the black and white movie "Cyrano de Bergerac" made in 1950, especially the insult contest.

[@ravissary79]

As a large nosed person, I've always adored Cyrano. It's such a classic, and its "our" only mainstream property. That's honestly why it annoys me that Dinklage hijacked the IP and made it about dwarfism. I get that dwarves have it a hell of a lot tougher than us, but... cmon... we have essentially 1 property. 1.

[@revdmcspumcsb]

@@ravissary79 Yes. That's why I have a mustache. Mine is not obtrusive, but is big enough that I broke it on a diving board when I did a pike and was to close to the board. When I was 15, my father accidentally clipped a piece of his mustache. He decided to shave it off. When he came down the stairs, my younger brother who was 8 came running up to me and asked why a stranger was coming down from mom and dad's room.

[@revdmcspumcsb]

@@Grynslvr2 Loved that movie. Read the book, watched the movie and went and saw the play in 9th grade. The teacher wanted us to understand how literature can be experienced in multiple venues which can embody a range of human emotions and move us in different ways based on the medium by which they were presented.

[@geraldclough1099]

When they were "dancing" the hose, that was a 2-1/2" hose. At higher working pressures, one man simply can't hold it securely. If it gets loose under pressure, it can do real damage. The main reason it's such a serious offense to drive over a fire hose is that the operators have to lean into the hose. And they have to coordinate their movements. If the lead wants to point it upward, the others behind him have to push downward, and so forth. If you drive over the hose, you interrupt the pressure, and the operators fall forward, where they are when you pass on and restore the pressure, but they may well lose control. Filled with water, it is extremely heavy, and the nozzle can kill. If they are up a ladder, when the pressure comes back, it can throw you off the ladder. A 2-1/2" line is no plaything. One man can just hold a 1-1/2" hose at pressure. That's the utility line for inside and close work. A 2-1/2" with a straight nozzle can cut a roof to pieces. With a fog nozzle, it can stop a room full of fire in three seconds.

[@lowkey1969]

One of the funnest things I've done was the burn house when I was doing my basic STCW training. Watching the fire die just from steam sucking out the heat and smothering the flames is something else.

[@RG-ef8ie]

[@leewinstead917]

This is a modern version of Cyrano de Bergerac I saw it at a vintage movie theater in a double feature with Cyrano de Bergerac and it’s amazing how closely Roxanne follows the original story even down to some of the insults Charlie uses in the bar

[@Calico_Jack_]

One of my all time favorites. They did Cyrano de Bergerac, with a modern feel. A suggestion for a Darrel Hanna with Tom Hanks, "Splash". Another brilliantly written Steve Martin movie is "L.A. Story". Thanks for another great review!

[@mcgilj1]

I second "Splash" . Hanks, Hannah, Candy and Levy.. Ron Howard's first HUGE hit.

Seconded for LA Story. Also Sarah Jessica Parker's debut.

[@erinc1422]

Your "You know what? I don't think I'm much different from Chris" caught me off guard, & I almost snorted out my drink because I was laughing so hard 🤣

[@johnhenkel1828]

As a firefighter, let me answer a few of your questions about operating a fire hose. One person can use a fire hose without it throwing them around. With the size of hose they use in this movie, one firefighter could do a lot of the movements of the hose that are shown in this movie, but not much more than what is shown here. The main reason you need more firefighters on a hose is the weight of the water in the hose, but the extra firefighters also help resists the recoil from the pressure. It is very difficult for one firefighter to move the hose more than a few feet at a time when it is full of water. It can be done, but not if you want to make sure you are spraying the water where you want it to be. For larger size hoses, there are techniques for one firefighter to operate a hose, but you have to stay in one place and you can only move the last couple of feet of the hose to change where you aim the hose.

[@johnhenkel1828]

Correction, I went back and watched it again and realized the hoses are larger than I first thought, so absolutely it would take more than one firefighter to move those hoses without it getting away and probably hurting someone.

[@SareyGamp]

Shows how talented Daryl Hannah is, you've seen her in Steel Magnolias, Kill Bill etc and you NEVER recognise her.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

"Do you know what a quark is?" "The thing that goes on the top of a wine bottle?" That made me laugh. Actually, theoretical physics have proven that these subatomic particles exist, even though they are much too small to see with even the most powerful instruments, by using particle accelerators and smashing them into each other at speeds near the speed of light and analyzing the results.

When he grabs the newspaper, then shrieks at the Headlines, and PAYS to PUT IT BACK; that bit still cracks me up! It's my favorite part of the movie! (Even more than the idea of Daryl Hannah running around naked, that is a very close second place)

The eighties was definitely one of the best decades ever for movies. So many iconic movies: The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, E.T., The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, the Tim Burton Batman and Batman Returns, all of the Indiana Jones movies worth mentioning... and plenty more. Also a great decade for music.

Best joke in the movie: "It's not like she's a rocket scientist..." "Actually, she is a rocket scientist..." The firehouse scenes also kill me every time.

Roxanne is definitely one of my favorite 80s rom-coms, and one of the few I can still enjoy today. Check out Cyrano de Bergerac from the 1950s with Jose Ferrer. Roxanne keeps the comedic and romantic elements, but basically ends at the end of the first act of the play.

Ex-firefighter here. And to answer your question about the hose......Most definitely YES. It's hard for most people to contemplate just what kind of force that a fire hose is capable of. Just trying to lug one of those around when fully charged is a chore. It has been a while but I believe on average the hoses have a psi (pounds per square inch) at around 150.

Apparently, the TV edit version has 24 because they cut out 1 of the more risque jokes ... but I have always enjoyed all 25 of them!!!

[@najhoant]

Steve Martin apparently really enjoyed doing this movie and said it was the first time he got to feel like a real actor and not just a comedian

[@krisbrulotte7889]

This is my go to for when people ask "Where did you grow up".. I grew up where Roxanne was filmed.

[@fday1964]

All Of Me would be another Steve Martin film to watch. It also stars Lily Tomlin. Very funny.

[@tjolsonmcse]

All of Me is hilarious

[@lukemaier182]

This was a favorite of mine as a teenager!! Loved this film!! Steve Martin's character was a man who could handle himself physically and mentally (love the insult scene in the bar!!), had a wonderful spirit about him and could communicate it (through his writing to Roxanne), but was awkward because of one precieved drawback, his nose. It's the age old question of ... are you going to focus on your one 'flaw' and ignore all the good things about yourself? Literally cutting off your nose to spite your face!! It's a movie I wish was made more often, great themes, great acting, funny, dialogue is witty and treats you like an adult! Thank you, Pippy, for reacting to this movie!! Loved it!! Awesome braids today!! See you Monday, Valentines Day, for Sleepless!! 💝

I thought she was wonderful in Splash. True story - my first cat was also Snowball. Okay, it was actually my mom's.

[@guitarman8462]

The guy who likes Roxanne , was also in the first Terminator. Among other movies as well. The actor who plays the role of Andy with his jacket on fire from the back was also in the movie with Bill Murray in " Scrooged ".

[@Greybeardmedic]

Great movie choice! The white powder is Fire Extinguisher chemical. They were re-filling the Fire extinguishers.

[@TrashWerewolf]

This is absolutely my all time favorite romantic comedy!!! It actually created a bit of a stir because it got no Academy Awards love. Many in Hollywood felt it should have been nominated and Chevy Chase even made a snarky comment about it when he was a presenter that year!

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

This is a modern twist on Cyrano de Bergerac which is a French classic play written at the end of the 1800s. The best take on it is an excellent 1990 French film titled Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu.

[@oliveriobarro4505]

One of my favorite movies. I love the 20 plus one liners in the bar. The little birdie perched on his nose

[@debbiek4951]

"Earn more sessions by sleeving." ... one of my favorite lines in the whole movie.

[@J-S.P]

Chris(the shy guy) is played by Rick Rossovich who you might remember as Matt - the ill-fated boyfriend of Sarah Connor's equally ill-fated roommate Ginger in The Terminator

"The Jerk" will forever be my "best Steve Martin film." But "The Spanish Prisoner" is amazing as well. And right below there is "The Man with Two Brains".

[@danjennings8618]

I've requested the Man With Two Brains before. Loved it, especially now since I've had 2 brain surgeries

[@johnsensebe3153]

The Jerk, Bowfinger, The Man with Two Brains, and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid are my favorites. I'd also recommend Little Shop of Horrors, but that really isn't his movie, though he's great in it.

[@Johonnac]

LOVE The Spanish Prisoner! (The Jerk of course, as well 😉)

[@MrTommygunz420]

"That guy" is Fred Willard; I only know of things he's not a huge part of rather than the lead, but he's in 'Best In Show' and 'How High' (both of which I think you'd like)

[@greymatters6555]

I've lived long enough to see Fred Willard and David Hasselhoff get confused. *SHAKES HEAD*

[@RichardX1]

He also played Phil's dad on Modern Family

[@bujin1977]

I only know of him from his short role in Friends as the zoo administrator talking to Ross about Marcel. "Well, he got sick. Then he got sicker. Then he got a little better. But then he died."

[@OrangeElixir]

Mr. Willard was perfect in all the Christopher Guest mocumentaries he appeared in, but my favorite was "A Mighty Wind". And his role in the original "'Salem's Lot", as Larry Crockett, is part of the many reasons why I love that movie. That was one of the few made-for-tv movies from the '70s that are worth watching.

[@JoeMama410]

@@OrangeElixir Hey, What happened?

[@pdx650]

Ashleigh, if nobody hasn't shared this yet, look up the story of 'cyrano de bergerac'. Roxanne is a modern-day story telling of the same thing. And the guy you can't remember the name of is fred willard.

[@samcollins8291]

Beautiful Nelson, I fished the lake and watched the hang gliders soar off the mountain. Great setting for a romcom. olive me

[@pjshutout3480]

You didn't show it, but in the celebration after the fire, when Fred Willard toasts that he would "rather be with the people of this town...than with the finest people in the world," I reacted much like you did on the light year joke. Somehow it just caught me so off guard and hit my funny bone perfectly. Great movie!

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Fred Willard is low-key brilliant. He was so great on Fernwood/America 2night.

[@ciphernine7824]

Darryl Hannah also played "Priss" in the original "Blade Runner" (1982), and played the mermaid "Madison" in "Splash" (1984). Also, I recommend watching "All of Me" (1984) starring Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin.

[@iluvmusicals21]

Fun video as always. Very happy you presented the film in its correct widescreen aspect ratio!

[@Bevsie54]

Ashleigh, Steve Martin did not have a stunt double in this movie, he did all the stunts himself. It’s so nice to watch a movie without all the special effects crap. So glad you loved it.

[@wratched]

Darryl Hannah was also Pris in Blade Runner. Ah. No. You haven't seen that yet.

[@mcgilj1]

As much as I love Hannah and Martin.. Rossovich is just so great as Chris. Plus the supporting cast is impressive. Pollard, Duvall, Wayans and Willard just bring the town to life.

[@thane9]

Another movie I absolutely adore...so happy you've gotten a chance to see this.

[@mena94x3]

For some odd reason I suddenly thought of Somewhere in Time (1980), starring Christopher Reeve and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman herself, Jane Seymour. Ashleigh - you need to see it.

[@apuuc]

Ashley I know you sometimes struggle in life and I’m so happy you aren’t afraid to admit that and ask for help. I also have dark times and thoughts that I take medication to help me cope. I just want you to remember that you never ever give up. In those dark places just keep fighting, one step in front of the other. You are worth it and you bring joy and laughter to others. When your feelings tell you one thing remember what is true, you are created by a loving compassionate God and you are worthy of that love and compassion. Thank you for your laughter you make a difference in peoples lives. God bless you

Other Steve Martin films I think you might enjoy: Comedies: "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (1988) "My Blue Heaven" (1990) "L.A. Story" (1991) "Bowfinger" (1999) And my most favorite dramatic role of Steve's, the very underrated suspense film: "The Spanish Prisoner" (1997)

As someone who got teased about their big nose, even called pig nose, I loved this movie. I have even had someone ask me if I ever thought about getting a nose job (wtf lol). I chose to focus on other parts of myself that I liked & stay the way God made me.

[@8967Logan]

Just remember a unique nose can be quite an asset, just ask Jennifer Grey. Remember her career after she decided to get a nose job to look like every other actress in Hollywood? Yes, neither does anyone else.

[@nicolem376]

@@8967Logan that’s true! She was much cuter before.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

@@8967Logan She didn't stop getting work because of a nose job. You're just body shaming. She stopped getting work because she was in the car with Matthew Broderick when he hit and killed someone and she could never get over the PTSD plus she was in a lot of pain. The nose thing really wasn't that big a deal.

[@8967Logan]

@@ZiddersRooFurry so I am saying she looked fine before the nose job, and you are calling that body shaming. I love people that see the world completely upside down. What pray tell would you call the people that made her so self-conscious about her nose that she decided she needed to change it? Secondly you assert that her mere presence in the car Matthew Brodrick was driving caused her such physical anguish and mental trauma that she couldn't act. It wasn't that changing her looks to resemble all the other Barbie dolls in Hollywood made her less distinct and marketable. By the way if she was unable to act after the accident; why is it that she is currently involved in a "Dirty Dancing" sequel? Your hypothesis doesn't hold water.

[@bashirijones7008]

An honest attempt at a classic with such a lovely heart and pure comedy. Roxanne A+! On a quiet Spring night you and your husband and Beans would be enchanted by the 1950 film Cyrano de Bergerac starring Jose Ferrer. Magical...like a fairytale captured on film! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@filibertoarteaga9571]

great movie Mala Powers as Roxanne is perfect

[@nigelus1]

The 1950 movie is wonderful. It uses an earlier, more poetic translation. The final scene (of the play and movie) is masterful. A brand new movie version is just hitting theaters now with the brilliant Peter Dinklage as Cyrano. I'm dying to see it.
