    Movie Beauty

    I really loved the movie called Beauty with Hal Holbrook. It was a warm-feeling movie that captured the heart of true love. The Beast character was excellent. Instead of having him look "beastly" he just looked like a man with a slight problem. He was warm and giving and he made you believe that nothing was wrong. Ms. Turner was excellent in the role of the artist. She is a great actress.

    My mother watches this movie every time it's on. I would like to purchase the movie for her but cannot locate it anywhere. Could someone let me know where I could buy it?

    Thanks

    It's a Lifetime movie of Beauty and the Beast. Predictable with several attempts to tug at your emotions. Love, death, and holding hands. The story tries to actualize that a well-painted portrait can capture the true essence of a person. However, the story also leads us in another direction. Can an artist capture the outward appearance of a man, put it on a canvas, and change the way that person actually sees himself? This made for TV story attempts to show that yes, it can, and no it doesn't. Of course, we have a hand-holding happy ending. Not-so-famous actors doing a credible job with the delivery of this subject. The hour and a half will go by quickly.

    I want my daughter and son to see this before and during their dating years! Please put on video!

    This is a great film! Great acting. Well done.This is a must see. It communicates the important value of not only seeing the best in others, but believing in your self in spite of what society or the media tells us. It also speaks to the fact that all individuals deserve respect (especially me!) This is shown in the relationship between Alix and Mark. Mark is a great contrast to the unselfish Lee. Jamey S and Janine T are great in their roles.The facial expressions are marvelous.

    A really good movie

    I don't like weepy stuff but sometimes in this very fast world there is need for something true. There was a great creation of a very big problem shown in a friendly story. I this respect I really liked this movie when I saw it, my highest recommendation!

    It works

    A warm and touching movie. This is not really Beauty & The Beast revisited; the beast is not very ugly in this movie, but rather a freaky Jay Leno look-a-like. The Beauty is charming, but why does she have to have a boyfriend before she meets the beast, I wonder. But why wonder, when one can enjoy. The movie works and that's what counts.

    • Quotes

      Alix Miller: [after returning from a church service in Lee's honor for saving Tommy Harris, reading plaque] To our friend Leyland Crompton, who's bravery and determination saved the life of Tommy Harris, your greatful neighbours.

      Alix Miller: [Lee looks at the plaque and drops it worthlessly on his desk] Why can't you let them thank you Lee?

      Lee Crompton: What do you think i would be to them Alix, a romantic folk hero? Their very own gentle giant? Better they thank a pretty woman and a cute dog than a monster.

      Alix Miller: Lee...

      Lee Crompton: [turns angryly] I don't want your pity...

      Alix Miller: I do pity you... but not because how you look... but because of what you have let it do to you...
