Synopsis: Prince Eduardo (Mark Damon) has a bit of a problem. Once a handsome prince, he has now been reduced to a lupine man-beast. His affliction is the result of a sorcerer's curse and can only be undone... Prince Eduardo (Mark Damon) has a bit of a problem. Once a handsome prince, he has now been reduced to a lupine man-beast. His affliction is the result of a sorcerer's curse and can only be undone by the true love of a fair maiden. Enter Althea (Joyce Taylor), the lovely princess who is betrothed to the non-beast-like version of Eduardo. To live happily after, Althea must learn to accept Eduardo -- whether or not he sheds all over the castle furniture -- and stave off the ambitious advances of the sinister Prince Bruno. A retelling of the classic tale, regarded for its lavish production design (by Franz Bachelin of STALAG 17 and JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH fame). [More]
