TAGLINE : "Here is greatness . . . wonder . . . and majesty . . . no human words can describe!" - 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous, living in a small town in the south of 1850s France, claims to have seen a divine vision, prompting extreme skepticism, concern from her family, and religious and political turmoil.In 1858 France, Bernadette, an adolescent peasant girl, has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the city dump. She never claims it to be anything other than this, but the townspeople all assume it to be the virgin Mary. The pompous government officials think she is nuts, and do their best to suppress the girl and her followers, and the church wants nothing to do with the whole matter. But as Bernadette attracts wider and wider attention, the phenomenon overtakes everyone in the town, and transforms their lives. Nominated for TWELVE Academy Award Nominations including BEST PICTURE, the film WON FOUR OSCARs including BEST ACTRESS and Best Cinematography, Black & White. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Henry King himself directed the screen tests, instructing his actresses to look beyond the camera at a shining light. Jennifer Jones was the immediate front-runner, as--according to King--"she didn't just look, she saw". Other than The Wizard of Oz (1939), only "The Song of Bernadette" with very few other pre-1950 major Hollywood films would be shown on American commercial network television before being sold to local stations, directly. Jennifer Jones became very close friends with co-star, Charles Bickford, who also co-starred with her in Duel in the Sun (1946). An hour after hearing about his death in 1967, she attempted suicide with an overdose of Seconal.
