The Song of Bernadette(1943)
In 1858 France, Bernadette, an adolescent peasant girl, has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the city dump. She never claims it to be anything other than this, but the townspeople all assume it to be the virgin Mary.

Cobb Director: Henry King » See full cast & crew The Song of Bernadette Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Song of Bernadette is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.33:1. It's kind of interesting that this one time "Studio Classics" release has been licensed to Twilight Time, since Fox has gone ahead and released several former Studio Classics DVDs on Blu-ray themselves (Zorba the Greek, How Green Was My Valley, Gentleman's Agreement, etc.). I have to wonder if perhaps this title was licensed because the source elements have some issues, most of which were quite evident on the previous DVD release. This is apparent right off the bat during the Fox logo, which has a rather bad tear and minimal warping. The first reel or so of the film is also littered with fading on the extreme edges of the frame (the left side more than the right). All of these particular issues were also apparent in the previous DVD release, so are no doubt endemic to the source elements. Once these minor but noticeable problems are out of the way, the rest of this high definition presentation looks quite nice. Contrast is excellent, and gray scale is very well modulated. The film still has a somewhat soft look in the midrange shots, but close-ups reveal substantial fine detail. There are some minor haloing issues on some of the inserts featuring text on things like newspapers and notices (see some of the screenshots accompanying this review for some examples). Natural film grain is more than apparent throughout this presentation. The Song of Bernadette Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Song of Bernadette features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track that sounds surprisingly spry for its age. While there is some minimal hiss that creeps through in the film's quieter moments, otherwise this track presents a nicely nuanced blend of clear dialogue and Alfred Newman's extremely beautiful score. There's a minimally boxy sound in the midrange, as should be expected, but overall things sound great here, with more low end than I personally was expecting and a relative lack of clipping in the extreme upper frequencies.
