The song of Bernadette

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

In 1858 France, Bernadette Soubirous (Jennifer Jones), an adolescent peasant girl, has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the city dump. Although she never claims it to be anything other than this, the townspeople all assume it to be the Virgin Mary. The pompous government officials think she is insane, and do their best to suppress the girl and her followers, and the church wants nothing to do with the whole matter. But as Bernadette attracts wider and wider attention, the phenomenon overtakes everyone in the town, and transforms their lives.

Also starring Charles Bickford as Peyramale Dean of Lourdes, William Eythe as Antoine Nicolau, Vincent Price as Imperial Prosecutor Vital Dutour, Lee J. Cobb as Doctor Dozous, Gladys Cooper as Sister Marie Therese Vauzous, Anne Revere as Louise Soubirous, Roman Bohnen as François Soubirous and Mary Anderson as Jeanne Abadie. Written by George Seaton, from the novel by Franz Werfel, directed by Henry King.
