Jean Cocteau's cinematic retelling of the fairy tale features imaginative sets, superb cinematography, and Josette Day as the lovely Belle. Enchanting touches such as magical flowers and candles held by floating hands add to the wondrous fantasy.

"I doubt we'll see anything better than this ...a major upgrade over the Embassy edition." -Bob Stephens, San Francisco Examiner

Criterion's edition includes audio commentary by film critic Arthur Knight and a documentary on the film and the fable.
