Roger Vadim essentially remakes Cocteau's adaptation of the same story only shorter and in color, but it's not without its charms. Susan Sarandon makes for a fetching lead and Klaus Kinski is creepy as the beast. It's also the only episode of the series to have portions shot on film and video, which makes for an interesting contrast between the warmth of Beauty's home as compared to the eerie coldness of the Beast's castle.
