Cocteau fell for Raray [shooting La Belle et la Bête] ― the park, not the castle. We didn't shoot in the castle, only in the park, with that marvelous hunting scene in stone. I think it was mostly because the park wasn't properly maintained. That was what pleased Cocteau most ― the sense of wildness, exactly matching the nature of the beast.
