Meanwhile Belle's father is sick and she wants desperately to see him, the Beast grants her this request and asks her to return in a week or he will surely die of grief. The Beast asks her to marry him every night, and every night she turns him down only wanting to be friends. He may be ugly in appearance but he is more of a man than an animal. Over time, Belle comes to realize that he is not a monster. Belle, who feels it is her fault, takes Magnificent back to the Beast's castle to become his prisoner. When the father is rejoined with his family after taking a magical white horse home named Magnificent, his daughters blame Belle for this. The father is then stopped by the Beast (also Jean Marais) who demands that he give his life for stealing the rose, unless one of his daughters takes his place. After falling asleep he wakes up and wanders the garden and comes across a rose garden and plucks a rose for Belle. No soul is present, although the eyes of the fireplace watch him and hands serve him and light the candelabras that guide his way.
So, he passes through the forest at night and becomes lost finding himself in a strange, magical castle. The father finds his fortune has been seized in order to clear his debts. Ludovic signs an agreement with a moneylender which gives him the ability to sue his father if he can't pay him. Her father tells his family that he now has a fortune and is on his way to pick it up and before he leaves he asks Belle if she would like him to bring her back anything. Ludovic is often accompanied by his friend Avenant (Jean Marais) who asks Belle for her hand in marriage only to be turned down because Belle believes its her duty to take care of her father. Belle has an older brother named Ludovic (Michel Auclair) and two sisters played by Mila Parely and Nane Germon. The gorgeous Josette Day plays Belle, the youngest daughter of a merchant (Marcel Andre) who recently lost all his ships and fortune and is now poor. The movie is full of magic, intrigue and romance. Jean Cocteau's film adaptation of the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast" just may be the best put to screen in cinematic history, with Disney's 1991 animated musical close behind.
