BEAUTY AND THE BEAST [LA BELLE ET LA BETE] (1946) – 2

Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA. Jean Marais, Josette Day, Mila Parély, Nane Germon, Michel Auclair, Raoul Marco, Marcel André, dir: Jean Cocteau; DisCina. This still is for the original US release.

Story of the daughter of a merchant who comes into the castle of a monster — half-human, half-beast — as a sacrifice after her father stumbles upon him and he demands his death or that he give up one of his daughters. She discovers that the beast is not as inhuman as he wants others to think. A beautifully photographed (Henri Alekan) and atmospheric film classic.

This lovely portrait of Josette Day as Belle and Jean Marais as The Prince was likely photographed by G. R. Aldo. The image was used for poster art. It is coded BB-28. There are some light vertical emulsion lines along the top third of the photo, VERY GOOD-FINE.
