Description

Beauty and the Beast (Atlantic Film, 1946). Danish Poster (23.5" X 33.5").
A beautiful interpretation of the classic fairy tale, this film is director Jean Cocteau's masterpiece. Cocteau, known primarily as a poet and a painter before this film, was hailed as one of the most important and influential French directors after its release, and the film itself hailed as one of the finest French films ever made. Offered here is a beautiful Danish poster featuring Jean Marais as the Beast and Josette Day as Belle in a loving embrace. Prior to restoration this lovely original poster had tears in the left and right borders, a crossfold separation at the center fold, and a bottom left corner crease. There is a visible Danish stamp in the upper left image area. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
