[Law & Order] "Beauty and the Beast" (PG-13)
Written for lawandorder100's "Movie Titles" challenge. I couldn't resist writing this one, since the late, great Jerry Orbach (aka. the inimitable and always snarky Lennie Briscoe) lent his voice talents to Lumiere in the Disney version of "Beauty and the Beast":

"The concierge says her name's Belle Plantard: checked in two days ago. Some guy went up here about three hours ago," Green said, examining the door frame. "No sign of forced entry: she must've known him."
"This concierge get a good look at the guy?"
"Yeah: late 20s, brown hair, dark eyes: build like a gorilla. Had a French accent, too."
"Talk about Beauty an' ze Beast," Lenny said, trying to sound like a maitre-d'.
