An Original 1947 Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) La Belle et la Bete (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "The Beauty and the Beast"), the classic 1946 Jean Cocteau French romantic fantasy adventure (based on the classic fairy tale by Madame Leprince de Beaumont; about a handsome prince who has a spell put on him that turns him into a beast, and he can't change back unless a beautiful woman loves him as he is!) starring Jean Marais (in a dual role as both la Bete and the Prince), Josette Day (in the title role as Belle), Mila Parely, Nane Germon, Michael Auclair, and Marcel Andre. Note that this movie had wonderful special effects (both by 1946 standards, and even by present day standards) and that it is one of the best loved fantasy movies of all time. In 1991, Walt Disney turned this into an animated feature length musical, and it has since been turned into a Broadway show and a live action movie, but this version still remains the best of all!

Important Added Info: Note that this classic movie opened in France in September of 1946 at the Cannes Film Festival, and had its regular French opening the following month. On November 18, 1947, the movie opened in New York in a special preview performance ("sponsored by the Cultural Division of the French Embassy"). This special premiere was attended by all of the top French officials in the U.S. including the French ambassador, as well as such celebrities as Marlene Dietrich, John D. and Nelson Rockefeller, Henry Luce, Madeleine Carroll, and others. For that release, a special press release was created, which was sent to publicity outlets along with 32 8" x 10" photos from the movie. In 2014, we auctioned a complete set of those 32 8" x 10" photos (and the set sold for $3,200), and until that time, we had never auctioned any of them before. Now we have been consigned four 8" x 10" U.S. photos that are clearly from the same release as the 32 described above, and we are auctioning them here, in four separate auctions. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
