It Is here that he must take his
message that this condition OF
society Is unnatural and God
like, but his renown as an inspired
reformer diverts him from his
work. He is summoned by the
politically adroit Cardinal Richie
lieu. assigned as chaplain Of the
galleys, and forced to witness the
frightful cruelties which are the
official practices Of the French
Navy.
Ultimately, he escapes from this
appy assignment, embraces
poverty completely and begins the
enormous task of organizing de-
praved Paris for human charity
No man ever assigned himself to
an apparently more hopeless pur-
pose in life. With a few excep-
tions, the aristocrats of the capi.
tai are too Indifferent, the pool
too far sunk In degradation ane
disease to help.
It Is finally the successful in
spiration of Monsieur Vincent
however. that he will find thos.
who will help the poor only amoni
the poor. From this point on
more and rnore-but never enough
success attends his mission.
Actor Fresnay gives one of thu
great performance of f1lm history
in the title role of Monsieur Vim
cent" There is an immense in.
tegrity in his portrait OF ths
passionate priest whose obsessior
with the need for loving kindness
in life gave him one Of its noblest
purposes. He achieves . truly
profound poignancy in his pictur,
of an unselfish man who coule
never escape the feeling that hi
failure was his own fault.
Fresnay's performance is one o.
those whose force tends to din
awareness of others in the film
The fact is. however. that the less
er parts are excellently played.
George de Ia Grandiere, al
amazing amateur at film-making
has given to Monsieur Vincent"
quality OF production that ap'
proaches perfection. 1t must strike
the spectator as q perfect evoca'
ton of the atmosphere Of It'll
century France. q morally primi.
tive country calling desperately fol
. redeeming saint.
It is the atmosphere that be-
longs to . great motion picture

season and one that viii never be

be endured. It's religion was an
empty ritual, offering nothing Of
comfort to q society riddled with
moral and material wretchedness.
Into this miserable scene comes
Monsieur Vincent pierre Fres-
nay. He is a man with q real
and deep belief in the word Of
God, most especially in that
phrase from it which has man
created In his image and likeness.
From this belief comes the pas
sionate impulse which causes him
to lay aside the luxury Of ducal
establishment and take himself
to the wretched village Of Chatil-
lon.
Here Monsieur Vincent begins
the first work that Ii to make
his name unforgettable in the
realm of human charity. Chatil-
Ions terrified rich, and its ami
mally helpless poor. have walled
up q woman believed to be dying
of the plague. The heroic priest
tears the barriers down. finds the
woman dead, rescues her child
from q similar fate, proves the
community's plague terror Is
merely part Of its nightmare sense
of living.
Chatinon's response to this les
son in higher faith is favorable,
but Monsieur Vincent learns from
1t that his battle field Is not here.
It lies rather in Paris, where
human misery, sQualor and pow
erty are appallingly concentrated
Evening star., 1949-04-16


Monsieur Vincent" Is screen
play worthy Of its subject. 1t Is
the story Of . passionate man
which captures the essence OF the
inspiration which made him one
Of the great figures in human his
tory. 1t draws its force and fervor
from his own and 1t shows what O
fiery figure can accomplish in sin
sle-handed battle with human
selfishness, ignorance, and ire
sponsibility. Yet. above all. Mon
sieur Vincent" Is q singulariy
simple and human narrative that
pins its faith to its hero's fsith
and finds It's greatness In his.
Early i7th century France Is
reproduced with striking pictorial
force In this French screenplay.
It was q country of stark con-
trasts, of palaces but . few PAGES
removed from pig-sty poverty. Its
people were ignorant. supersi-
tious and terrified. The feudal
rich saw life as precarious. the
poor masses as o punishment 70
