The Song of Bernadette

on BBC One London

Starring Jennifer Jones
with Charles Bickford, Vincent Price, Lee J. Cobb, Gladys Cooper

At the age of 14 Marie Bernarde Soubirous, the eldest of nine children of a poor French peasant family, experienced a series of visions of the Blessed Virgin in a grotto near her home in Lourdes - later to become a meeting point for pilgrims from the four corners of the earth.
This is the Hollywood version of Bernadette's story which earned Jennifer Jones an Oscar and scored a major success at the box-office.
