Summary
In plague-ravaged 17th Century Europe, Saint Vincent de Paul devotes himself to his mission
of persuading the wealthy to improve the fortunes of the poor. From humble beginnings
(having lived the early part of his life in captivity and slavery), Saint Vincent de Paul
starts out as a humble priest. Struck by the suffering of the poor and the indifference
of the nobility, he takes it upon himself to convince the latter of their obligation to
help those who are worse off than themselves...

Review
This compelling portrait of St Vincent de Paul, a strikingly humanist work, features Pierre
Fresnay in arguably his best film performance. The film has the distinction
of being the first French language film to win an Academy Award (in 1948).
