The Song of Bernadette

About The Song of Bernadette

In 1858 Lourdes, France, adolescent peasant Bernadette has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the Massabielle grotto - the townspeople assume this lady to be the Virgin Mary. Pompous government officials think the girl is insane, doing their best to suppress her and her followers, while the church wants nothing to do with the matter.

The Song of Bernadette is a 1943 drama film directed by Henry King. Jennifer Jones takes the lead as Bernadette, William Eythe as Antoine Nicolau, Charles Bickford as Father Peyramale, and Vincent Price as Prosecutor Vital Dutour.
