Review of The Song of Bernadette (1943) by Timothy M — 05 Feb 2011
A very strong prestige pic from Fox, showcasing the talents of everyone involved. Henry King, along with his DP, crafts some magnificent, highly evocative images, and he's helped by a top-notch ensemble, including career-best turns from Jennifer Jones and Gladys Cooper, as well as Lee J.
Cobb, Anne Revere, Charles Bickford, and an underrated Vincent Price. Alfred Newman's score is a little overbearing, but still effective when needs be. There are a few sequences which are really very strong, especially when Bernadette discovers the spring.
