There are very few “religious” films that actually attain a sense of spirituality that makes them work for believers and non-believers alike. “The Song of Bernadette” is one of those rare films, and owes a lot of its power to the Oscar winning performance of Jennifer Jones as Bernadette Soubirous, the young French peasant girl who in 1858 saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in a grotto advance the town of Lourdes. While gathering firewood with her sister and a friend, Bernadette was told by the “graceful lady” to return to the grotto every day for fifteen days. The current folk of Lourdes near to understanding in young Bernadette’s visions, while the authorities try to assign a conclude to the nonsense, and the church keeps its distance for the moment.
As Bernadette, Jones is the aloof center at the heart of the storm. The scenes in which Bernadette sees the Lady (an unbilled and pregnant Linda Darnell) are presented by director Henry King with a ravishing simplicity. Bernadette has a strong and simple faith, which is how she is able to endure the battering by those around her. It is in her victory over these opponents that accomplish this account work, and Bernadette’s opponents are a reliable cast of supporting players. Charles Bickford is Peyramale Dean of Lourdes, who has to deal with the conception that this idle and less than shiny peasant girl has seen the Virgin Mother, Vincent Ticket the icy hearted local prosecutor Dutour, Lee J. Cobb as the reasonable and scientific Dr. Dozous, Anne Revere as Bernadett’s mother, and Gladys Cooper as Sister Vauzous, the nun whose jealousy of Bernadette has quite an emotional payoff in the film.
A best selling version of Bernadette’s anecdote was written by Franz Werfel in 1942 and 20th Century Fox bought the rights to design an ambitious veil version which manages to avoid the faults of sentimentality. They also searched for a newcomer for the title role and looked at Anne Baxter, Teresa Wright, Linda Darnell and Gene Tierney before settling on Jones, who had microscopic parts in two previous films as Phylis Isley and was renamed to have a trim slate as an actress. Winning the Oscar aesthetic distinguished speaks to the success of their efforts. The film also deservedly won Oscars for Arthur Miller’s cinematography and Alfred Newman’s fetch. Ironically, Newman replaced the illustrious composer Igor Stravinsky on the film, and the second movement of Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements evolved from his unusual unused come by.

The long awaited DVD version of “The Song of Bernadette” makes up for the delay with some genuine extras, including the A&E “Biography” of Jones, a theatrical trailer, a World War II newsreel of Jones visiting the troops, and an beneficial commentary track by two of Jones’ biographers. This is classy treatment for one of Hollywood’s classiest films.

A stellar ensemble cast examines the conflict between faith and reason when Bernadette Soubirious (played by Jennifer Jones in her major veil debut) has visons of the Virgin Mary in the garbage dump of Lourdes, France in 1858.

Ridiculed, scorned and threatened by the ecclesiastical and political establishments, Bernadette must possess on to her integrity in order to survive. The realistic plotting and manipulations of the petty local politicians (led by Vincent Label) is worth the tag of the DVD alone. Charles Bickford (nominated for best supporting actor) portrays the skeptical local priest who believes that he knows what is best for Bernadette in the ruin.
Gladys Cooper (nominated for best supporting actress) is the vitriolic nun who despises and persecutes the poorly educated, sickly and simple minded Bernadette. The shattering emotional climax where the nun realizes the enormity of her sin is a master class in acting.

This remains the most realistic religious film of the Studio era. Its hard hitting depictions of the poverty of Bernadette’s family, of the blindness of the Church and of a town’s small-mindedness is balanced by its literal depiction of the validity of Bernadette’s visions.
As the mammoth winner of its year with 4 Oscars for best actress (Jennifer Jones), cinematgraphy, art direction, and musical salvage, it was upset by “Casablanca” for the best report and director awards. This B/W film rewards repeated viewings as something recent is seen everytime. Bernadette was later canonized by the Roman Catholic Church in 1933.
