- Synopsis:
- Based on the best-selling historical novel by Franz Werfel, the film chronicles the life of 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous (Jennifer Jones), who began seeing visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France in 1858. When news of Bernadette's vision first spreads through the town, there are those who decry her as mentally unsound, while others wholeheartedly believe -particularly when the spring that erupts near the grotto that housed the visitations contains water that seems to have miraculous healing properties.
