  A connected Fano complex-contact manifold is isomorphic to the kaehlerian
C-space of Boothby type with a natural complex-contact structure corresponding
to a non-abelian simple complex Lie algebra if the contact line bundle is very
ample. A. Beauville relaxed the provision to two assumptions that the contact
line bundle is generically finite and that the automorphism group is reductive.
We relax the provision to another one that that the contact line bundle is
immersive, that is, the manifold admits a holomorphic immersion into some
projective space associated with some holomorphic sections of the line bundle.
As an application, we obtain that the automorphism group of a connected compact
complex-contact manifold with immersive contact line bundle is isomorphic to
the automorphism group of the corresponding simple complex Lie algebra of rank
greater than one, which is not connected if and only if its type is A_{n},
D_{n+2} for n > 1 or E_{6}.
