Joan of Arc Summary Academy Award-winner Ingrid Bergman (casablanca) Is Spellbinding As The 15th Century French Peasant Girl Who Rouses A Nation And Inspires The World With Her Faith And Bravery. Fiercely Believing That She Is Directed By God, Joan Triumphantly Leads An Army Into Battle Against The British, Who Are Driven From France. When A New King (jose Ferrer In A Extraordinary Film Debut) Is Crowned, Joan's Influence Grows And Makes Him Wary Of Her Power, Ultimately Betraying Her To Martyrdom. This Powerful, Visually Stunning Epic Of One Of History's Most Fascinating Heroines Features Spectacular Action And Unforgettable Drama! Completely Restored, Original Full-length Version With Footage Not Seen In The U.s.,from Victor Fleming, Director Of Gone With The Wind And The Wizard Of Oz. Winner Of Three Academy Awards®: Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Honorary Award To Producer Walter Wanger With Five Additional Academy Award®: Nominations: Best Actress (ingrid Bergman), Best Supporting Actor (jose Ferrer), Best Art Direction, Best Film Editing, Best Score.

The lavish 1948 production of Joan of Arc may not qualify as a great movie, but it scores a triumphant victory as a great DVD. Thanks to a stunning restoration by the renowned UCLA Film and Television Archive, this relic from Hollywood's golden age can now be appreciated in all its magnificent Technicolor glory, restored to its original theatrical length of 145 minutes after decades of truncated TV broadcasts. Under the direction of Victor Fleming (whose credits include Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz), this is a stodgily respectable mini-epic, adapted from Maxwell Anderson's acclaimed play Joan of Lorraine and giving 33-year-old Ingrid Bergman one of her quirkiest star turns as the 19-year-old "Maid of Lorraine," destined by divinely inspired fate to rescue imperiled France from British occupation, and face trial on charges of witchcraft. Winner of three Oscars (for cinematography and costumes, and an honorary award to Producer Walter Wanger for boosting Hollywood's "moral stature") and five nominations (including acting nods for Bergman and José Ferrer, making his screen debut as the French Dauphin), the film suffers from an abundance of talky exposition and stage-bound incident, but the battle scenes are still rousing, Bergman glowing beatifically in polished armor and surrounded by a seasoned cast of studio-era character players in a rampant case of Hollywood anachronism (somehow, Ward Bond just doesn't belong in medieval France!). If you get bored during the slow parts, you can always marvel at the pristine restoration, full of heavenly sunbeams, masterful matte paintings, and enough colorful detail to make most 1948-vintage films pale by comparison. Frame by gorgeous frame, martyrdom never had a classier showcase. --Jeff Shannon
