Engaging movie without being overly sentimental. The performances are evenly first-rate. The bio. for Jennifer Jones makes this DVD a treasure.

A Beautiful Film
Added 6/18/2009
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
Added 5/26/2009
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 Bernadette sees the image of the Virgin Mary, and cannot convince politician-staunch atheist Vincent Price and some stubborn heads of the Catholic Church that she's seeing exactly what she's stating.
The acting in here is very good, top to bottom. Included on that this of good actors, but who not any billing on the DVD cover, is the great Anne Revere, one of the most interesting and underrated actresses of her day.
The cinematography also is very good and can be easily under-appreciated while one gets involved in the story. This is definitely a movie to check out, whatever ones theological beliefs, for the acting, photography, involving story and, of course, to see Jones in her youthful beauty and innocence.
