The Song of Bernadette is a reverent recounting of the life of St. Bernadette of Lourdes.
Bernadette's vision becomes a political hot potato for many years, with the authorities alternately permitting and denying the true believers' access to the grotto.
Eventually, Bernadette dies, never faltering in her conviction that she saw the Blessed Virgin; years later, she is canonized as a saint, and the Grotto of Lourdes remains standing as a permanent shrine.

 Review of Franz Werfel's The Song of Bernadette - BrothersJudd.com
It was there that he became familiar with the story of Marie Bernard "Bernadette" Soubirous, the impoverished, asthmatic, fourteen year old girl whose visions of the Virgin Mary at the local trash heap eventually made her a saint.
Bernadette was preparing for her confirmation at that time but was relatively ignorant of religious matters and very nearly illiterate, so her claim was greeted with even more derision than might have been expected.
Bernadette humbly says that perhaps she can relieve some of the Sister's doubts and shows her the "tuberculosis of the bone" that, unbeknownst to anyone else, is eating away at Bernadette's leg.

Indeed, the story follows Bernadette through the 13 years she spent in the Convent of Nevers (where her incorrupt remains are on display to this day), being tormented by a jealous nun, and helping to nurse soldiers during the Franco-Prussian War.
While Bernadette and her family suffer harrassment from the authorities, they are supported by the people of the community, who wish so badly to believe in a miracle.
Her characterization of Bernadette is one of innocence and wide-eyed truthfulness, but she is just as equal to giving hard crustiness and slimy hypocrisy to Bernadettes detractors.

 Saint Bernadette
Bernadette used the beauty of the vision of His Mother to learn what was His loveliness to whom she had vowed herself, and she asked Mary again and again to "keep Jesus in my heart."
Just as the little Bernadette was intended to become holier because of the beauty she saw beyond all her dreams, so her example becomes a model of sanctification for ourselves, whereby we may also learn to love God better and joyfully offer up our lives to Him.
Bernadette went through so much adversity to stand for what she believed in, to stay true and loyal to the beautiful lady she loved with all her heart.

Century Fox in 1943, The Song of Bernadette was nominated for 11 Oscars.
The music for 'Bernadette was the "biggest musical project in the history of the studio" employing an 80-piece symphony orchestra and several choirs.
Newman very sensitively conveys and heightens Bernadette's unshakeable belief in what she had seen, the scepticism of the local municipal and church officials, even members of her family, and the discovery of apparent healing powers of a nearby spring.

Bernadette Soubirous (Jones) is a sickly 14-year-old girl who sees a vision of a "beautiful lady", and never suffers from her illness again.
The simple manner in which Bernadette encounters the lady leaves no opportunity for debate; since we see things along with her and from her point of view, we observe everything as reality.

The lady requests that Bernadette visit her at the grotto for 15 days, and in complying the young girl creates a stir that will change the town forever.
Soon most of the townspeople are making the pilgrimage to the grotto along with Bernadette, and it isn't long before the town is ridiculed in the press and in danger of becoming the laughingstock of the entire country.
Bernadette doesn't question the whys or wherefores of the visions, but rather accepts them as a simple fact: something which confounds those around her.

 Bernadette of Lourdes - Franz Werfel's 'The Song of Bernadette' abridged by John Martin
The Song of Bernadette is an amazing and moving story about the sturdy and loving character of Our Lady's little friend Bernadette who, with Heaven sent grace, fought such a fearless fight for the authenticity of her visions.
An innocent and simple maiden, Bernadette was given the grace and strength to convince the sombre Church Authorities of the miracle of Lourdes and, with Our Lady's help in that Herculean task, she succeeded.
I hope that the abridged Song of Bernadette will encourage many more to read this moving and immortal story of the miracle of Lourdes and appreciate the sturdy and loving character of Our Lady's little friend Bernadette who, with Heaven-sent grace, fought such a fearless fight for the authenticity of her visions

"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 near the town of Lourdes.
Bernadette has a strong and simple faith, which is how she is able to endure the battering by those around her.
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.

One day (February 11, 1850 to be exact), while resting in a grotto as her sisters fetch wood, Bernadette sees a vision of a beautiful lady dressed in white with a golden rose on each foot.
Bernadette, who claims the lady in the vision has called herself “The Immaculate Conception,” is now garnering national attention, almost none of which is good.
Bernadette finally retires to a convent where she can get, for once, some peace and quiet, but she soon succumbs to a very painful and debilitating cancer.

 Reviews of 'The Song of Bernadette'
When asked her name by Bernadette, the lady said that her name was the Immaculate Conception, a title used to describe the Virgin Mary.
You follow Bernadette through her struggles with her family, the local authorities, and the local Church as they all try to prevent her from continuing with the claim that she sees an apparition of a lady in the Grotto of Massabielle.
After all Bernadette had been through, and after the way Sister Marie-Thérese had always treated her, I think for her to say something like that with such deep sincerity was real true humility.

This is the classic work that tells the true story surrounding the miraculous visions of St. Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes, France in 1858.
While hiding in the little village of Lourdes, Werfel felt the Nazi noose tightening, and realizing that he and his wife might well be caught and executed, he made a promise to God to write about the “song of Bernadette” that he had been inspired by during his clandestine stay in Lourdes.
Though Werfel was Jewish, he was so deeply impressed by both Bernadette and the happenings at Lourdes, that his writing has a profound sense of Catholic understanding.

 Song of bernadette authors - Franz Werfel and John Martin
It was there, in her native town, that Franz Werfel became acquainted with the strange and beautiful story of Bernadette Soubirous.
One day in great distress[1] Franz Werfel vowed that, if he and his wife escaped from their desperate situation, he would put off all tasks and 'sing', as best he could, 'the song of Bernadette'.
After many tribulations, eased by stout hearts in France and Spain and sterling work [2] by the British Ambassador in Lisbon (in persuading the Spanish Authorities not to return them to the Germans occupying France), the Werfels reached the safety of America and this moving and noble book is the result.

 dOc DVD Review: The Song of Bernadette (1943)
In early 1858, Bernadette Soubirous (Jones) is a sickly and feeble-minded peasant girl in Lourdes, stuck with her family in grinding poverty.
This contempt is magnified when Bernadette declares she has been told by the Lady to wash in a spring that doesn't exist.
In particular, the nun's viciousness toward Bernadette is deeply affecting, since Bernadette as portrayed here is both utterly convinced of her visions and completely innocent.

"The Song of Bernadette" is a film that by all accounts should distill into a religious potboiler.
