Mr. Frenhofer and the Minotaur(1949)

movie - first aired/released 1949-10-07 - audience 5.1

Directed by Sidney Peterson

Peterson based this romantic piece on Balzac’s Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu and Picasso’s Minotauromachie. The film combines a story of the competition for the love of a woman with images of a young girl with a candle wandering through a corridor, a modern adaptation of the mythological Minoan labyrinths.
