This is the film that is shown daily at the Grotto in Lourdes on a loop. Pegged as a more accurate portrayal of the look and feel of the time, it is also simple in the dialogue to focus on the purity of the events. The film depicts the 18 appearances of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous at the Massabielle grotto near Lourdes, France in 1857-1858 and the effect it has on Bernadette's life around her. The young actor, Sydney Penny, could not speak French. So the French production was filmed in its entirety twice with Penny speaking in English and the rest of the cast in French both times. One edited version has Penny dubbed in French (the first, French release) and another the rest of the cast dubbed in English (the latter, USA release). Likely should be listed as two separate film entries.
