Review of The Song of Bernadette (1943) by Lawrence B — 28 Jul 2018
Exceptional dramatisation of the seemingly miraculous and controversial visions of young French peasant Bernadette Sorbouis (memorably played by a delightful Jennifer Jones, who won an Oscar for her portrayal).
Henry King's impressive adaptation of Frank Werzel's 1941 novel (based on actual events) is graced with some sterling performances (Lee J Cobb, Vincent Price and Gladys Cooper) and an intelligence that stands out amongst some of the pompous Hollywood biblical epics that were to come.
