La Belle et la Bete (1946) with the Fairy Tellers

Episode 9: La Belle et La Bete (1946) (feat. The Fairy Tellers)

 

This week, we go back as far to the beginning of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale that we care to go. We’re joined by Katrina and Geoff from The Fairy Tellers podcast to talk about the 1946 French fantasy film, “La Belle et La Bete” and three early versions of the story by Villeneuve, Beaumont, and the Brothers Grimm. Hear our takes on everything from romance to disembodied body parts as decor to suffering through two hours of exposition after the climax of a story happens.
