Few missteps (if any) in this sweet, character-driven update on Cyrano de Bergerac.

The musical numbers with the kids are unnecessary, for which I removed half a star. Grant and Kerr are fantastic, but none of the other actors are given much to do, other than acting like good people. But then, it’s really all about that final scene, isn’t it? Great dialog.

Currently my pick for best film of the year. A movie made with so much love that you can feel it in every shot.
