All rights reserved.The Song of Bernadette (2003, DVD)
| Movie Description Jennifer Jones won a Golden Globe and an Oscar for her screen debut in this true story. Jones plays young French peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous, who sees a vision of a "beautiful lady" near her home in Lourdes in 1858. Based on the novel of the same name by Franz Werfel, THE SONG OF BERNADETTE explores Bernadette's trials and tribulations from her impoverished family to her difficulties at school to the derision her visions bring upon her and at last to her affliction with bone-marrow cancer. Under the incisive eye of director Henry King, the film is seen through Bernadette's perspective but at the same time focuses upon the effect that Bernadette has upon her family, her champions, and her detractors. The acting is excellent, and no detail has gone untouched in the art direction, costumes, and cinematography. Best of all, THE SONG OF BERNADETTE stands among a rare group of Hollywood films in which visual integrity is matched step for step with thematic zeal.

Reviews  The Song of Bernadette I really enjoyedReview created: 07/22/08 by:  I wanted to see the movie again because I had seen it many years ago. Enjoyed it a lot and the quick service was excellent Review ID: 10000000008050233 Was this review helpful? Report this review  If you believe in visions and miracles, buy it!The girl Jennifer Jones, was extremely credible and portrayed a truly selfless person who saw a vision in Southern France. Of course, there were believers and unbelievers and the stress with that even with the reported miracles. She was an inspiration and a wonderful example of exemplary behavior. It was 2.5 hours long, so make sure you allow the time or watch it in 2 separate parts. Review ID: 10000000005632457 Was this review helpful?

Report this review TIMELESS!4 of 4 people found this review helpful. Filmed in 1943, this film still brings tears and inspiration to many who watched it over and over. Jennifer Jones is absolutely marvelous as the young, religious peasant girl, Bernadette, living in Lourdes in the 1800's, who is visited by the Virgin Mary. By seeing this vision, she incurs the wrath of locals, and one man in particular, who is played by Vincent Price. This true, timeless story won Jones the Best Actress Oscar. In case you can't remember, Linda Darnell played the Virgin, but was not billed in the film. Review ID: 10000000004287216 Was this review helpful?
