One of cinema’s most authentic, beatific representations of faith, The Song of Bernadette still works its magic even seventy years after its premiere. Directed by Henry King, the film’s beautiful craftsmanship and exquisite handling of sensitive subject matter never goes for an overly pious or egregiously saintly tone. Instead, its purity comes, as with the title character herself, from within, delicately stepping around the exaggerations and overdrawn melodrama of earlier religious-themed films and emerging as one of the few faith-based movies that can be enjoyed by all whether they consider themselves to be religious or not.
