La obra teatral CYRANO DE BERGERAC puede considerarse un clásico instantáneo. El verso de Edmond Ronstad, los amores de Cyrano por Roxane encauzados a través de Christian —joven sin discurso también enamorado de la bella— el aura patriótica de Cyrano, su capacidad de sacrificio y el hecho de estar inspirado en un personaje real de nariz tan legendaria como la de Cleopatra, convirtieron en éxito inmediato a esta obra estrenada en 1897. En 1920 ya contaba con cinco adaptaciones al cine y la de Augusto Genina se erigió por encima de todas las anteriores e, incluso, las posteriores sonoras. Protagonizado por el segundo actor que interpretó el personaje en escena, el film fue realizado en 1922 y durante cerca de 3 años fue sometido al laborioso coloreado de su largo metraje, por medio de plantillas fotograma a fotograma.
