The 1946 French film version of Beauty and the Beast is really lovely. It's occasionally shown on Turner Movie Classics.

“The 1946 French film version of Beauty and the Beast is really lovely.”

Try the Criterion edition with the Philip Glass replacement audio/music track. Absolutely wonderful; I got to see a live performance. Remembering it makes my spine tingle.

I’ve heard good things about that 1946 live action version.

But modern audiences hate subtitles and black and white and the pacing of old movies.

And the director was gay.
