' AN EXPERIMENT IN THE ETHICS AND ECONOMICS OF FILM-MAKING'

on Third Programme

View in Radio Times

by the Rev. John A. V. Burke
A film has been made recently in France about the life of Saint Vincent de Paul, the priest who was a pioneer in alleviating misery and poverty in seventeenth-century France. Monsieur Vincent is an example of a film which. perhaps for the first time, deals with a fundamentally religious issue in an uncompromising way. The cost of production was met by a national subscription, as the more usual form of financial backing was withheld on the grounds that the subject had little box-office appeal. Mr. Burke, who is Secretary of the Catholic Film Society and delegate to the Office Catholique Internationale du Cinéma, discusses the many issues raised by this film
