Join us on November 29th  @ 7:00pm for The Song of Bernadette. (1943) Thanksgiving: Religious Drama Part 1.

From the presenter, Michael Paxton:

This month's screening is an inspirational film based on the true story of 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous, who lived in a small town in the south of France in the 1850's. Bernadette claimed to have seen a divine vision, which prompted many skeptics and presented major hardships for her and her family. Eventually being declared a saint by the Catholic Church, her story is quite remarkable. The film is directed by Henry King, and stars a young Jennifer Jones as Bernadette in her first Oscar-winning performance.

Nominated for 12 Academy Awards and winning 10, the film also won 4 Golden Globes as well. Alongside Jones, the film stars Gladys Cooper (who also starred with her in Love Letters), Anne Revere, Vincent Price, Charles Bickford, Gladys Cooper, Lee J. Cobb, and William Eythe.

Please join us for a fascinating story about passion, unwavering loyalty and a courageous, life-long devotion to truth.



Presented by Michael Paxton, an Oscar-nominated producer and director.
