[gingersnapshard666]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! <3

[MegaGuinle]

I remember as a child the amazement !

[gsguitarmen]

Merci Beaucoup "am0123" pour ce film MAGNIFIQUE le travail de Jean Cocteau....................

[MaskedMan66]

The actor playing Avenant also plays the Beast!

[slobomotion]

I found this so charming when I first saw it in the USA in the '70s. I have lived in France for nearly 20 years now and my French husband totally hates this movie! Professional fag jealousy, perhaps. I don't care, it's his bowl o' cabbage. I am an actual princess so this is especially dear to me. Bless for uploading! Uprated.

[stargazergirlst]

at first i thought, 'why is this film like cinderella?', then I realised it is just like the original beauty and the beast story!

[nivtal20]

Am I the only one who find "Belle" looks like Christina Aguilera?!:O

[BlackBile13]

[leonard1910]

[kopa1997mheetu]

I love how they did the names, they used to do this now!!! I love it!!!

[Adler36]

A very good version of the classic tale. I also like the Disney movie and the russian version... I also really love Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands" which tooks inspiration from it... :)

[BlackRaven156]

pure genius!

[Purplelady0790]

The reson why they are always drunk all the time is because they always have to put up with these spoiled brats. lol

[Purplelady0790]

I don't usually like black and white movies because everything seems to blend to gether but I do make exceptions for the classics like the three stooges and BnB

[shiichan32]

[MrShaun42088]

[009firefox]

J'aime ce filme! Josette Day est trop belle! "Belle" est le nom approprié pour elle!

This film is so special and magical. Il n`y a pas de filmes comme ca de nos jours....

[09Oblivion]

[Cader1dris]

This is great, i love it! The cinematography is very modern for its time!

[muradori]

avenant looks good even in black and white, like vampirish good look. love their accent! :)

[raybradhausen]

Equal parts beautiful and scary. I've never seen a more poetic and imaginative film. Probably never will. Thanks for making this film available.

[salemgirl123]

chiote... des sou titres...

[rockinamber18]

i know the meaning of belle is beauty but in the french story was beauty called belle?

[19Edurne]

@rockinamber18

Belle is also a name in french. And in french, Avenant may be a name also, but very dated. But the irony is that it's mostly an adjective used for caracterizing the appearence of someone and meaning attractive, full of charm. It's not commonely used except in litterature. It would seem pedant to use it in a conversation.

[flowerlikelife5]

Subtitles and everything! Oh-la-la! I could kiss you for posting this! Cocteau is one of my all-time favourite directors.

[Unclesamslair]

wow, they had to do the opening credits on a chalkboard

[tubefluid]

Thank you for putting this up!

[estheramie09]

I can't believe someone uploaded la belle et la bete on you tube^^TY

[nanoulize]

[kay2006dee]

Merci :)

[kay2006dee]

Qu'est-ce qu'il dit a environ 5:22? "Oh les ravissantes, les divines, oh les ....? Nielles?" Quelqu'un peut me dire quel est le mot?

[ilestjoe]

@kay2006dee Il dit "les niaises."

[titanist0100]

[JanWest24]

Belle est si jolie.Elle ressemble un peu a Lana Turner.

[showyom]

je cherche un sous-titre français pour ce film, mais je ne trouve pas. quelqu'un peut-il m'aider? J'ai commencé à apprendre le français. merci d'avance.

[mapledork729]

[NAYDH]

charger la belle et la bête dans cette qualité et ce format c'est du gâchis...

[12al34]

You'll have to set the film to HD, or if you prefer: enter &fmt=18 at the end of the url (if there isn't already a & etc. next to it)

[dearmalika]

It's like a dream!I love this film!

[teedeeiss]

@am0123 - wow, I didn't know this movie (black & white 1946 version) existed before 2 days ago. I happen to love the old black & whites, especially the silent ones. This is a GREAT movie. Way cool story line. It's crap what they have now. Mighty grateful to you for uploading it & turning me on to it. THANK YOU so much.  9:49 pm Sept. 5 2010

[renamunich]

[within17220]

joli film

j'aime beaucoup=)

[prettynpink528]

45 years after this movie was made Disney adapted the classic fairy tale into an animated musical which became the first animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best

Picture, even though lost to The Silence Of The Lambs.

[FilmTraum9]

He buscado esta pelicula por todos citios sin encontrarla.Gracias por compartirla.

una autentica joya!

[catherinemcauley11]

I love this movie, I just watche dit in my sophomore french clss and fell in love and then was sooooo happy to see it on you tube, thanx!

[loveupskirts]

thank you i adore this film.so intresting and magical

[avs002]

As much as I love this movie, to have it up without Orphee/Orpheus is a crime.

[within17220]

pas mal du tout j'aime bcq

[livefortheday]

I love this film. Thank you so much for uploading it.

[MistyD108]

to correct Tagrantelli, her suitor's name: Avenant, means pleasant/attractive. (however, endorsement works, but not under the film's intended circumstances)

But the film itself, I have studied it for French cultural classes, and I have fallen in love with this movie many many times over!

It is a beautiful piece and stays much truer to the actual story than most other adaptations!

[ScarlettVain]

I LOVE this movie. I first saw it late one night on Turner Classic Movies, and fell in love with it immediately. The only thing that drives me nuts about the Beauty and the Beast story is that Belle fell in love with the BEAST. She wanted the BEAST.. then he goes and turns into a prince. The thing that I love most about this version of the film is that she's genuinely disappointed by his transformation into a man.

[BerLeigh]

I saw this movie for the first time randomly on TCM one night and was hooked! I love beauty and the beast and this is one of my favorite versions... i'm so glad someone posted it on here :)

[jamierourketen]

nice bit of bestiality!lol!

[Tagrantelli]

Her suitor's name means "endorsement." Funny.

[Dizzee781]

Digital Media Cert 4 Represent!

[portrasdamascara]

thanks! I always wanted to see this

[peymaania]

Josette Day was on prescription medication, probably mood altering drugs when she made this film. Jean Cocteau and Jean Marais were lovers...How Absolutely Delicious! Much True Art has emanated from Same Sex Unions!

[teedeeiss]

@peymaania - and Jean Marais & Mila Parély (Félicie) had been married & divorced (1942-1944) before making this film together. 9:59 pm Sept. 5 2010

[eric30du56]

@teedeeiss

What are your sources? The fact is Jean Marais was bisexual and was the b/f of Cocteau. From what I see, he was only "about to"marry her.

[teedeeiss]

@eric30du56 - "During the war Marais was married to his film partner, actress Mila Parély & their marriage was blessed by Cocteau, who wanted Marais to be happy. Marais & Mila Parély divorced after 2 yrs of marriage & shortly after their divorce, they worked together again in 'Beauty & the Beast' (1946), under directorship of Jean Cocteau." Yes, he was bisexual & Cocteau's lover from 1937 till Cocteau's death (1963). IMDB is my source. 4:53 pm Sept. 26 2010

[eric30du56]

@teedeeiss .

So IMDB is wrong, I mean the guy who wrote the biography. I googled "Mariage Jean Marais Mila Parély" first link I had was a site in English saint[dot]org with exactly the same story, most part of this article is (forgive me) bullshit.

IMDB can't be trusted for foreign actors, it's like Wikipedia I guess, everyone can edit it no ? All the links I have in French tell a different story.

[teedeeiss]

@eric30du56 - well in that case, THANK YOU very much for setting me straight. Yes, even though I am quite aware that you can't always count on those two sites to be 100% ACCURATE, I did this time. MY BAD! Once again, I am very GRATEFUL to you for the courtesy of the correct info. 7:29 pm Sept. 27 2010

[AlwaysmilingPolitely]

Bien!

[TwilightGeisha]

This is a good movie, but I'm sorry to say that Miss Josette Day's acting is a bit too over dramatic

[munecadiablita]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[Kongenstein]

Un véritable chef d'oeuvre...

[Advocate26]

OMG! thank you thank you! i haven't seen this movie in years! :D
