| Beauty and the Beast (in French: La Belle et la Bête) is a French film, made in 1946, based on the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". The film was directed by Jean Cocteau, and starred his male lover Jean Marais as the Beast and Josette Day as Beauty. The score was by Georges Auric. Cinematography by Henri Alekan. The film is notable for its surreal quality and its ability to use existing movie technology to effectively evoke a feeling of magic and enchantment. In 1995 composer Philip Glass composed an opera version. In its initial incarnation the musicians and singers would perform the work on stage with a restored, newly subtitled print of the film playing on a screen behind them. The current Criterion Collection DVD offers the ability to view the movie while listening to either version.
