Beauty and the Beast, 1978 - ★★★★
December 28, 2024
That’s one of the great expressions of high atmosphere. The gloom and the mud are all the more oppressive given that the gothic mansion was clearly once a shining palace; the setting has been cursed to monstrosity just as much as the Beast himself.

His performance was pretty good, on the whole. […]
