The Acting is SUPERB!. Look through my history and see if I have ever written that before!.
BUT it's genuinely wonderful Acting in this movie, the very young Jennifer Jones though almost a complete novice (NO pun intended) at this time, is Wonderful in the part of Bernadette.
Her beauty shines through and adds wonderfully to the part, she so almost heavenly played. (OK, that was intended) . It was no surprise to anybody, when she took the Oscar for best Actor, one of four Oscars won by this masterpiece.
SHE played along side the very experienced & much admired Charles Bickford, who brings out the very best in her, it's clear to see an almost Father - Daughter relationship took place during filming.
I have to say that even as a critic, it's VERY HARD to find flaws in this wonderful tribute of sorts, to the woman who would become known even today worldwide, as Saint Bernadette.
OK, so yes there were minor errors, but frankly one could rightly be considered a total crank for highlighting them!.
Had it not been a movie about religion, or perhaps more precise, about the woman who would one day be canonised by the Catholic Church.
Then believe me, our youth of today would have posters decorating their bedroom walls, of this very movie!.
Again, in my humble opinion, one of the very best movies ever made!!.
