While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

In the 70's my mom would record these Halmark hall of fame shows and we ran across this box of recordings on VHS. There it is. It's a beautiful version of the story and the acting is great. I'm going to need to convert it to DVD and make a thousand copies. The quality is "ok". It's funny the VHS kept recording after the show and the there are commercials and the news from the late 70's on the tape. It's like this little time capsule on VHS. Who knew this would never get released and mom would keep a box of VHS tapes all these years. You can tell some of the actors are kind of B quality but even they do a decent enough job. The end is great when her sisters steal her magic ring and you don't know how she will get back to castle. The confrontation at the end is perfect. They nail it.

I saw this when I was just out of high school, and fell madly in love with Mr. Scott, fell in love with his Beast, fell in love with this love story... I've been looking for it ever since. No one seems to know what happened to it...Scott's portrayal of the Beast is the truest to the fairytale's telling... He was able to absolutely capture the cruelty of the Beast, at the same time expressing his great love for Belle... I've been looking for this forever, and I've had friends involved in the film industry looking for it. All for naught, it seems...Please, please, please, is there any way Hallmark will re-release this for everyone that was touched by it?

OK, where is it? This was one of the most compelling productions of the story I've ever seen. It was a Hallmark Hall of Fame, I know that because I got the poster from the Hallmark store back then. I agree, there was magic between the two and Scott was at his best. He WAS the Beast. No dancing teapots or children's trappings, this was adult fair and riveting in its emotion. Why isn't this released? Scott is dead, could it be tied up in court somewhere? We need a petition. I remember it being very dark, in subject and in setting. The castle was foreboding and it made Trish V. that much more lovely. The on screen magic between this husband and wife team, at the time, was palpable. I really want to see it again, better yet, own it!

The first comment made that many people would like to purchase this movie is very true. My mother-in-law has been looking to purchase this movie for quite some time now. I thought I may be able to purchase it on ebay or something but have yet to find the one she wants with George C. Scott. If it can be worked out for this to be purchased I would be on of the first to give it as a gift to my mother-in-law. She would love to see it in black and white but color I'm sure will not matter. I have not seen this movie so I am not going to rate it but I'm sure if she saw it and has been looking for a while for it, than it means something.
