Editing The Song of Bernadette (film) (section)

==Reception==
[[Bosley Crowther]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' gave the movie a mostly negative review, praising the acting, especially Jones's, but regretting the movie's "tedious and repetitious" narrative, its emphasis on "images that lack visual mobility" and "dialectic discourse that will clutter and fatigue the average mind," and the decision to make Bernadette's "lady" visible to viewers.<ref name="Crowther">{{cite news|last=Crowther|first=Bosley|title=THE SCREEN; 'The Song of Bernadette,' a Devout Film Version of the Werfel Story, With Jennifer Jones, Opens Here at Rivoli|date=January 27, 1944|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1944/01/27/archives/the-screen-the-song-of-bernadette-a-devout-film-version-of-the.html|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=December 26, 2021}}</ref>
