The Song of Bernadette is the most famous movie based on this subject and this film is even better. It shows Bernadette as a real person who is far from perfect. Every Catholic knows the story of the poor, illiterate peasant girl who sees the Virgin Mary and is mocked and ridiculed by those in charge. After several miracles, the spring there make believers out of most. She eventually became a nun and the site is one of the most visited by pilgrims in search of answers to their troubles. The lead actress is perfect as Bernadette and I highly recommend this moving film.
