A MIRACULOUS STORY OF HOPE, COURAGE AND FAITH. A superb cast including Charles Bickford, Lee J. Cobb, Vincent Price and "newcomer" Jennifer Jones, triumph in this film classic that tells the story of the peasent girl Bernadette Soubirous, a poverty stricken , pure-hearted adolescent, who saw a vision of a "beautiful lady" near her home town of Lourdes in 1858. The wonderous news spreads rapidly throughgout France, leaving in it's wake a variety of concequences adoration, suspicion and greed among the people of Lourdes... Stubborn scepticism from the town doctor (Cobb)... charges of insanity from the town prosecutor (Price)... threats of physical punishment, then support and guidance from the Dean of Lourdes (Bickford), who finally becomes convinced that the miracle, has taken place. Winner of four Academy Awards® , (1943) including Best Actress and Best Score, this true story, told with profound sincerity , sensitivity and reverence , is both first rate filmmaking and an inspiring tribute to faith, personal courage and the glory of the human spirit. ©Twentieth Century-Fox
