What is this film?
It is about the life of Saint Vincent de Paul. The life of the man ( priest ) who did all he could for the poor in his time.
In the France of Richelieu.
Pierre Fresnay is just perfect and fit the role, and how!
The dialog written by jean Anouil can be at time pure genius.
I saw it 45 years ago and never forgot it. Now in France on DVD.
For the hardcore videophile or for the very Catholic one touch by humanism...
Have a look here:

Being that you are french (you are french, right?) and that you live in France (you live in France, right?), what would be your top recommondations for french films that one might be able to get their hands on here in the States? I haven't seen tons, but my favorites are (in order of preference):
1. La Haine
2. La Gloire de mon Pere
3. Le Diner de Cons
(D'ailleurs, je HAIS "La Ceremonie". Je l'ai vu il y a quelques semaines... quelle horreur...)
Yes, no...in Germany.
Well they are so many films! I may try, based on the films you did like to make you some recommendations...Without any order:
Le placard
La Chevre
Les Fugitifs
Manon des Sources & jean de Florette
Nikita ( in case you did not see it! )
Le Gout des autresSo I could go on,and..on...You may also always made a research here as many have been on topic!
Much fun!
long time, I'd throw in Pierrot le Fou. Anna Karina---sigh---is as beautiful as any actress, ever.
And Belmondo...has he been forgotten in France?
I remember reading his bio in the 70s that described him as a former boxer (that nose) and circus performer. I'd bet it was just "copy?"
Well Tin I was adjusting to the " asking taste ".
It is of course a very short cut, I did not want to make a list of fifties!
Nobody is gonna forget " A Bout de Soufle ".
After his stroke he do not make any more films.
But he just have got a new baby.....
