Of all the versions of Beauty and the Beast that I have seen, I believe this to be my favorite....it boasts no surrealistic set design, no award-winning soundtrack.....in fact, there's not any good acting in it either, but at the core of this film is the true message of love and faith that the other versions either lack or do not concentrate on as heavily. The Lady Althea not only accepts her beloved's strange actions and seeming desire to evade their marriage, but also stands beside him, supports him, and does whatever needs to be done to help him.
This is not fairy tale flutter...complete and blind faith and trust are a necessary part of a strong and loving relationship. I was so touched by Lady Althea and her strength and courage; any creature can run up and down hallways and faint in the arms of a beast - but it takes a real woman to stand beside him before a crazed mob and be willing to burn at his side.
I will always strive to be a Lady Althea, and I am so glad that this movie came my way to show me the heart of a true Beauty.
