The Charity of Christ pressed him October 30, 2008
A superb b&w inspirational award winning classic about a great organizer of charity with and for persons who are poor. He also founder Religious communities, the Daughters of Charity of St.Vincent de Paul and the Vincentian Brothers and Priests, as well as a lay organization, the Ladies of Charity, in 17th century France where poor persons were left to die in the streets of Paris. His spirit continues to serve the poor through the Vincentian "Family" of these international communities as well as through the international organization, the St.Vincent de Paul Society. These communities administer works of charity and justice, including legislative advocay in behalf of persons who are poor. For information about these communities visit www.famvin.org

Brilliantly restored October 27, 2008

No scratches, this is a brilliantly restored clean copy! Ignore the caveats from other reviews since they speak of the old VHS copy. I cannot find any reference online to the restoration but it is beautiful, we just watched it. We watched it from Netflix, same cover. English subtitles only-- a French class!

All Regions? July 9, 2008
Since this is All Regions, will this play of Region 1 players? I don't own an all-regions machine. I hate to order this if so.

Monsieur Vincent March 9, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

An old, unretouched film- just as I remember it. A moving portrayal of a man who's name is a household word, but who's life is largely unknown. It drives home the fact, relentlessly, that if the burden of poverty is great, the burden of those who seek to remedy it is equally so. A well crafted film and a learning experience besides, Monsieur Vincent is a true classic.

An old Classic! June 28, 2002
9 out of 13 found this review helpful

What a treasure! available now in a dubbed English version. Those who like old black and white films will find this a classic treasure.

Depicting the early 17th century and the life and work of Vincent de Paul, the movie moves from Vincent's entry into a plague-ridden town in France where he is the new "priest" to his death in Paris tirelessly working with the poor while enlisting the help of the rich and the powerful in spite of themselves.

The movie is well acted and well shot. It is both an inspiration and a collector's item
