This Spoils the Ending
In the Play In the Movie
   Christian is fatally shot. Cyrano decides to preserve Roxanne's image of an eloquent Christian and does not tell her he wrote to her everyday while at the front. Christian runs to the top of a hill just before the attack and is shot. Cyrano drags a dying Christian to shelter where he urges Cyrano to tell Roxanne everything. Cyrano refuses.
   As the battle continues, Roxanne collapses and is carried away by the Count. Cyrano rallies the Cadets to hold back the Spanish until relief arrives. Cyrano and the rest of the soldiers join the battle; many are killed or wounded.
   Fifteen years later, Roxanne lives at a convent outside of Paris where she mourns Christian. She is visited by Count de Guiche, who is now a good friend and sees Cyrano as an equal. Three years later Roxanne is working in a convent. She is visited frequently by Cyrano who is in poor health from a poor diet. He continues to write letters to Roxanne with news of the world. Cyrano and Roxanne do not see the Count after the battle in Spain.
   Cyrano has been mortally injured when hit on the head by a log that fell from a building. Upon his last visit to deliver Rosanne his news, he asks if he can read Christian's farewell letter. She gives it to him, and he reads it aloud as it grows dark. She then knows Cyrano had written all of the letters. Cyrano asks her to be allowed to read Christian's last letter. Cyrano reads the blood stained letter by heart. Roxanne then knows the letters and words at the balcony were his, not Christian's.
   Cyrano denies writing the letters then dies after Roxanne says she loves him. He dies in Le Bret and Ragueneau's arms Cyrano denies everything then collapses. Roxanne professes her love for Cyrano and kisses him. Cyrano then dies in her arms as Roxanne cries.
