BEAUTY & THE BEAST (1987 SERIES) - DVD-COMPLETE SERIES [16 DISCS]

Details

• Release Year: 1987
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Fantasy, Romance
• Plot: Ron Koslow's updated version of the fairytale has a double focus: the relationship between Vincent,(a mythic, noble man-beast) and Catherine (an asst DA in New York); and a secret Utopian society of outcasts living in an underground sanctuary where Vincent is protected and loved. Through an emotional bond connecting Vincent to Catherine, he comes to be her protector as well as the man she loves. The series follows the developing relationship between them and nicely fleshes out the underground world of labyrinth tunnels, mystical waterfalls, and people who have come together to form a loving and nurturing family. In a twist from the original tale, this 'beast' does not transform into society's idea of beauty after gaining the love of Catherine. Rather, Vincent's inner beauty is allowed to remain the focus of who he is and it is Catherine's former 'shallow' self that is the ugliness transformed by their relationship. Written by Peg McNabb
