Description
The story of a peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous, a poverty-stricken, pure hearted adolescent, who saw a vision, of a "Beautiful Lady" near her home town of Lourdes in 1858. The wondrous news spreads rapidly throughout France, leaving in its wake a variety of consequences: adoration, suspicion and greed among the people of Lourdes skepticism from the town doctor (Lee J. Cobb) charges of insanity from the town prosecutor (Vincent Price) threats of physical punishment, then support and guidance from the Dean of Lourdes (Charles Bickford), who finally becomes convinced that the miracle has, indeed, taken place. Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Actress and Best Score, this true story is both first-rate filmmaking and an inspiring tribute to faith, courage and the human spirit.

Jennifer Jones plays the legendary French peasant who claimed to have dialogues with the Virgin Mary at a Lourdes grotto in 1858. The script handles the visitations as an article of truth (Linda Darnell plays the Virgin), which helps move the drama forward, though much of the story concerns the conflicts that arise in the community after Jones is told the grotto contains healing waters. Made by Henry King (The Snows of Kilimanjaro), the film is gorgeous to look at and sensitively directed; and Jones (who won an Oscar for Best Actress) is radiant in the lead. Whatever one's religious persuasion, this is a strikingly handsome Hollywood production to be enjoyed. The film also earned Academy Awards for cinematography and score. --Tom Keogh

I absolutely love the '43 film 'The Song of Bernadette'. Jennifer Jones is magnificent in the role of the naive, but intuitive young Bernadette who was graced with a series of 18 visions of a beautiful Maiden from Heaven who identified herself as the "Immaculate Conception". Everything works to perfection in this film; production values, music and cast as well as providing an honest re-telling of the events that begun on February 11, 1858.
Unlike the several other films on the life and visions of Bernadette that were produced in the years to follow, this version is the only one that chose to actually show the vision to the audience rather than rely on the ecstatic expression of the young seer to convey the presence of the "Lady in White". I must say the director made the right decision in this matter and pulled it off beautifully.
You don't have to be a Catholic to recognize a classic when you see one!

I was very dissapointed with the DVD Song Of Bernadette as I was unable to view it ,I tried to play it on my DvD and it said it could not be played as it was the wrong code ,I tried on my computer to view it and had the same message "cant be played wrong code" so I am very reluctant to purchase anything again through Amazon.com
