Here is greatness... wonder... and majesty... no human words can describe!
In 1858 Lourdes, France, adolescent peasant Bernadette has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the Massabielle grotto - the townspeople assume this lady to be the Virgin Mary. Pompous government officials think the girl is insane, doing their best to suppress her and her followers, while the church wants nothing to do with the matter. But as Bernadette attracts wider and wider attention, the phenomenon overtakes everyone in the town, ultimately transforming their lives.

I'm always up for a film where people see ghosts. Unjustifiably long and generally kinda silly. I find it hilarious it got a nomination for Editing; I think at one point she leaves town and spends 10 minutes talking to people you barely remember from earlier in the film? 1943 (16th) Academy Award nominations: Outstanding Motion Picture, Best Director (Henry King), Best Actress (Jennifer Jones - Winner), Best Supporting Actor (Charles Bickford), Best Supporting Actress (Gladys Cooper, Anne Revere), Best Screenplay (George Seaton), Best Art Direction–Interior Decoration – Black-and-White (Art Direction: James Basevi and William S.
