News from the Helpers' Network US for fans of Beauty and the Beast..

Jean Cocteau's classic fantasy film Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et la Bête) will return to theaters after 56 years, in a restored, remastered and re-subtitled version, the Zap2it Web site reported. The 1946 French-language movie, a dark take on the venerable fairy tale, tells the story of a young woman's discovery of a ravaged soul beneath a monstrous beast.

Cocteau's version of Beauty and the Beast is reportedly Jodie Foster's favorite movie. Josette Day and Jean Marais star. Cowboy Pictures partners Noah Cowan and John Vanco, in cooperation with Janus Films, are behind the theatrical re-release of the movie, which will premiere at the Paris Theater in New York on April 5, Zap2it reported.
