R2002 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Art House One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is one of a large group of "arthouse" U.S. one-sheets that came from a specific New York theater. Many of these movies ONLY played in a very limited number of theaters, and posters from these movies can be next-to-impossible to find! Also note that because many of these movies were low-budget productions without famous stars, the producers often created great eye-catching posters, knowing how much that would help the success of their movies! Condition: very good. Note that this poster was never folded. Most movie posters from before 1980 were machine folded immediately after printing, but a very few were left unfolded. An unfolded poster from before 1980 is almost always far more difficult to find than a folded poster of the same title, and finding unfolded posters in excellent condition is even more difficult! 1/4" tear in the upper left edge of the poster; minor creases and scuffs throughout the poster (more so in the upper left edge from being stored on end while rolled) Learn More about condition grades
