My response to this film is remarkably like the one posted previously. I saw this movie once, about 30 years ago when I was in my mid-20's. I thought it was completely magical and I, too, remember the music. The art direction is superb, from scenery to costumes, to makeup and hair. Exquisite cinematography befitting a fairy-tale. Catherine Deneuve is as beautiful, seductive and INNOCENT as one could ever hope a romantic heroine to be. Jean Marais, similarly, is an archetypal romantic hero, either despite of, or because of, his nonstandard handsome visage.
I have been waiting to see it again for decades, and was delighted to see that it is going to be aired on TCM. I have my DVD recorder all programmed and ready to roll.
It is an exquisite example of the film-makers art. It is not a chick-flick, because it is NOT a movie, it is a film, and a film worthy of your time and focus.
