Year: 1950
Director: Michael Gordon
Plot: Recreating his stage role, Jose Ferrer stars as Edmond Rostand's Cyrano, a 17th-century French cavalier, poet and swordsman whose prominent proboscis is the subject of many a duel. Cyrano is madly in love with the beautiful Roxanne (Mala Powers), but assumes that she'd never love him back due to his cathedral of a nose. Roxanne is also loved by the handsome Christian (William Prince), who unfortunately can't put two consecutive words together when it comes to pitching woo. Cyrano agrees to help Christian win Roxanne by feeding him the right words for his midnight courtships and love letters; in this way, Cyrano can vicariously express his own ardor for the fair lady. Years later, Cyrano's deception is revealed, and he dies happily in the arms of his beloved Roxanne, who realizes that she has really loved Cyrano all along--by way of Christian. Cyrano de Bergerac wasn't seen by many paying moviegoers upon its original showing, but its relative box-office failure resulted in an early release to television, where it has remained a perennial attraction for the past forty years. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I would like to nominate Steve Martin as the official face of the remake. And as a bonus honor, I would also like to nominate him as the representative of sequels to remakes as well. Here are his credentials: 1. Pennies from Heaven - a remake of the original British mini-series Pennies from Heaven 2. Little Shop of Horrors - a musical remake of the original Little Shop of Horrors 3. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - a remake of Bedtime Story 4. Father of the Bride - a remake of the original Father of the Bride 5. Mixed Nuts - a remake of Le Père Noël est une ordure 6. Father of the Bride Part II - a sequel to the remake of the original Father of the Bride 7. Sgt. Bilko - a remake of the original TV series The Phil Silvers Show 8. The Out-of-Towners - a remake of the original The Out of Towners 9. Cheaper by the Dozen - technically not a remake, but there already was another Cheaper by the Dozen movie based off of the same novel 10. Cheaper by the Dozen 2 - sequel to what I'm guessing is basically a remake 11. The Pink Panther - loose remake of the original The Pink Panther 12. The Pink Panther 2 - sequel to the remake of The Pink Panther 13. Martin is also currently slated to appear in a remake of Topper Those are his biggest credentials He was also in Roxanne which is based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac which has been done in movies many times. Also A Simple Twist of Fate was based on the book Silas Marner which had been made into a TV movie a decade earlier. I know I'm reaching with this last one. But still, can anyone think of a a person out there that could rival Steve Martin as the king of the remake? With so many remakes being done these days I'm sure there are many others up to the challenge.
