Tale As Old As Time

-
First I couldn't resist the title, sorry if it's a little cheesy. As I've done in the past with Cinderella, The Jungle Book and Alice in Wonderland  I have another post on film adaptations, this time Beauty and the Beast. The live-action version is being released March 17th. Below are 4 different versions of this fairy tale classic.



La Belle et la Bete (1946)
Directed By: Jean Cocteau
Starring: Jean Marals, Josette Day, Mila Parely
Running Time: 93 Minutes
* This is a French film version.




Beauty and the Beast (1962)
Directed By: Edward L. Cahn
Starring: Joyce Taylor, Mark Damon
Running Time: 77 Minutes
* The above is the full film, not a trailer.




Beauty and the Beast (1976)
Director: Fielder Cook
Starring: George C. Scott, Trish Van Devere, Virginia McKenna
Running Time: 74 Minutes
* This is a made for TV version that was part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
Also the above is the full film, not a trailer.




Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Directed By: Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise
Voices Of: Paige O'Hara, Robby Benson, Jerry Orbach
Running Time: 84 Minutes
* I hestitated to add this version since it's from the 90s and I don't consider that old but this version is a really good considering it's animated. Plus this film is the only animated Disney film that has ever been nominated as Best Picture at the Oscars, so it's worth checking out.





Until Next Time,
Ashley A.

Since we're in March and March is Women's History Month I thought I'd continue making posts centered on women, or rather, some of my favorite women throughout history. I'm a huge music fan and many of the singers and bands I listen to are women centered, so why not post my favorite singers and a couple of their songs I really love.  Judy Garland I'm Always Chasing Rainbows / The Trolley Song / Get Happy Carole King It's Too Late / So Far Away / I Feel The Earth Move Stevie Nicks Gypsy / Rhiannon / Dreams Patsy Cline I Fall To Pieces / Walkin' After Midnight / Crazy Debbie Harry (of Blondie) Call Me / One Way or Another / Heart of Glass  Until Next Time, Ashley A.
