163. La Belle et la Bête (1946) - a podcast by Scott and Pete

“My Beast! My Beast! Answer me, my Beast! Answer me, my Beast!” We watched the insanely beautiful 1946 Jean Cocteau film La Belle et la Bête, and excuse us as we glide down a windy hallway like were in the It's All Coming Back Me Now video. There’s wouldn’t be the 1991 Disney animated movie, or power ballad music videos, if it weren’t for Cocteau’s flamboyant take on the ye old 1757 French fairy tale. We dissect the drag styling of Jean Marais as the Beast. Marvel at how beautiful Josettte Day’s Belle is. Other topics discussed is growing up on Shelly Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre, Shannel’s All Stars 1 entrance look, and why we all prefer the prince looking like the beast at the end. This might be one of the gayest and sexually subversive films ever! The type of delicious camp that only a gay man could cook up!
