The popular imagination seems never to tire of her, and the story of the maid of Orleans has been the subject of at least twenty films, most effectively in Carl Dreyer's 1928 silent masterpiece La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, most recently in last year's thoroughly contemporary The Messenger (see Richard Alleva,"Dames at War," December 17, 1999). Perhaps the fact that the story of the Maid of Orleans still inspires illustrators to produce such exemplary works, just as it did Boutet de Monvel, is in itself a publishing miracle. Back in the '40s, award-winning movies like "The Song of Bernadette," "Joan of Arc," and "Monsieur Vincent" told the stories of the miracle of Lourdes, the Maid of Orleans, and Vincent de Paul, often to critical acclaim or terrific box-office revenues. |
