Pierre Fresnay stars as
St. Vincent De Paul in this reverent but realistic French biopic. The film traces "Monsieur Vincent's" progress from his days of forced servitude in Algiers to his entry into the priesthood, culminating with his Herculean efforts on behalf of the ill and destitute in early 17th-century France. Featured in the huge cast are
Aime Clairimond as Cardinal de Richelieu and
Germaine Dermoz as Queen Anne of Austria. Made under the most trying of conditions over a two-year period,
Monsieur Vincent remains the chef d'ouevre of director
Maurice Cloche. The film won France's Grand Prix award in 1947, and the following year was honored with Hollywood's "best foreign picture" Oscar.
