Note that this is a fascinating movie! It was made in France during World War II when it was occupied by Nazi Germany, and there are those who see this as a pro-German movie, with its beautiful blonde lovers (very Aryan in appearance), and an evil dwarf, but there are also subtle anti-Nazi messages embedded in it as well. Many consider this one of Cocteau's best movies (he solely wrote it and did not direct it). First release posters from it are extremely rare, not surprising, since it was made in France during World War II when there were huge paper shortages! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
