JOSETTE DAY in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1946) Josette’s grace and sensitive acting astonish me. As Beauty she has the naïveté, the simplicity and just that suggestion of superiority of someone who has seen things which her family have not even dreamt about. She dominates Ludovic, is protective of her father, but returns to her old surroundings without the least shame. She spoke her line: “Who has done my washing?” dressed in pearls, tulle, silk and gold, yet even so without losing her simple manner.  - JEAN COCTEAU
