[Tango-L] Dancing with old guys/ Cyrano de Bergerac (???)

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Cyrano just had a big nose, which he thought made him ugly.
 He wasn't grotesque.  

I won't speak for Nina, but my interpretation of Cyrano is
that he romanced the woman from afar by appealing to her
mind.  For many women, nothing is sexier.  I find that this
is the same difference between the men who are good flirts
and bad flirts.  The bad flirts tend to be more physical
and direct, so they're distasteful to be around.  The good
flirts charm with their wit.

I haven't seen the more recent version, but there's the old
black & white version that I enjoyed.  The name of the
famous actor in it escapes me.
