"Once Upon a Time..." Thus begins Director Jean Cocteau's 1946 masterpiece of black and white cinematography, "La Belle et la Bête." Cocteau (1889-1963) was a writer, poet, and painter with ties to the surrealists. The entrancingly beautiful visual poetry of this film (for example, candelabra made of human hands and NO singing teacups, thank you very much), dreamlike imagery and painterly compositions have rarely been duplicated since.
Please see this movie uncut if you want to experience one of the finest fantasy films of all time!

I bought a copy of Beauty & the Beast and George Harrisons' CD with Marwa Blues after I viewed this video. Thank you for posting!

Musical tastes are different for everyone. I personally like George Harrison's instrumentals.
