Beauty and the Beast

1946 · 1h 36mRepertory

The story of a gentle-hearted beast in love with a simple and beautiful girl. She is drawn to the repellent but strangely fascinating Beast, who tests her fidelity by giving her a key, telling her that if she doesn't return it to him by a specific time, he will die of grief. She is unable to return the key on time, but it is revealed that the Beast is the genuinely handsome one. A simple tale of tragic love that turns into a surreal vision of death, desire, and beauty.

Beauty and the Beast (1946), a repertory screening, is coming to Cinema 21, an independent theater in Portland. First showtime: Sat, Nov 7, 11:00 AM.
