Description
Jean Cocteau’s sublime adaptation of Mme. Leprince de Beaumont’s fairy-tale masterpiece—in which the pure love of a beautiful girl melts the heart of a feral but gentle beast—is a landmark of motion picture fantasy, with unforgettably romantic performances by Jean Marais and Josette Day. The spectacular visions of enchantment, desire, and death in Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et la Bête) have become timeless icons of cinematic wonder.

When dispatched delivery was very fast
Great price and service.
A bit expensive but that’s expected with imported items. Pleasantly surprised with the delivery. A small box and two layers of bubble wrap to prevent any damage. Nicely done!
