Amazon.com:
Jennifer Jones plays the legendary French peasant who claimed to have dialogues with the Virgin Mary at a Lourdes grotto in 1858. The script handles the visitations as an article of truth (Linda Darnell plays the Virgin), which helps move the drama forward, though much of the story concerns the conflicts that arise in the community after Jones is told the grotto contains healing waters. Made by Henry King (The Snows of Kilimanjaro), the film is gorgeous to look at and sensitively directed; and Jones (who won an Oscar for Best Actress) is radiant in the lead. Whatever one's religious persuasion, this is a strikingly handsome Hollywood production to be enjoyed. The film also earned Academy Awards for cinematography and score. --Tom Keogh

- The Song of Bernadette
This is a well put together movie about Our Lady's apparitions to a young girl at Lourdes, France in the late 1800's.
Rating: - A Beautiful Film
I remember watching this in grammar school, but I don't remember it being as beautiful as it was this time around.An altogether great performance by Jennifer Jones, and with one of my favorite actresses, Gladys Cooper.It was a treat to see this again.

- Young Jennifer Jones Something To Behold
Despite being a little long at almost three hours and not all that exciting, I will watch this DVD again if for no other reason than to see a young, beautiful, sweet Jennifer Jones once again in her screen debut.....and the fact it's on a very good transfer. Kudos to Fox for that.
Much of this film is a frustrating experience as the sincere and honest "Bernadette" (Jones) is not believed by the powers-that-be: the local politician and clergyman. That disbelief goes on and on and on as ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best
I recently saw this movie again and think it is a beautifully made film. Her performance couldn't be bettered. I can't imagine any other actress from the time doing it. There is not a false note to it. I think it is one of the classic film performances. The truthfulness and the simplicity are just remarkable. The cast that surrounds it is just top notch from Anne Revere to Gladys Cooper among others. Plus it is a beautifully photographed film. There are many shots that could stand alone as photographs ...
