A Rather Off Topic Question

I’ve a question about a magic castle. That is perhaps only a weak link to our present movie, but my question really picks up on kc’s question about the action effects in “The Lavender Hill Mob”. Has anybody seen Cocteau’s 1946 movie, “Beauty and the Beast”? Cocteau had some association with the Surrealists and in the magic castle in BB he said that he didn’t want to do “movie” special effects but instead wanted concrete surreal images. If you’ve seen the movie, what do you think of the effects?
