Summary: From case cover: Un pasteur suisse a recuelli et élevé une fille aveugle, parlant et marchant avee difficulté. Devenue une femme, Gertrude est courtisée par le fils du pasteur, Jacques. Mais la jalousie pousse le pasteur à refuser cette union. Gertrude subit une opération et rcouvre la vue... Jean Delannoy (Notre-Dame de Paris, la Princesse de Cléves) nous livre un drame poignant, tiré du roman d’André Gide et qui marquera le renouveau du cinéma français d’après-guerre. Michèle Morgan (Quai des Brumes) y apparaît plus belle et émouvante que jamais. From IMDb: On Christmas Eve, Jean Martens, a Swiss minister, takes in a blind half-crippled orphan and brings her up with his four children. But Gertrude grows to be a woman and Jean gradually falls in love with her without admitting it to himself. On the contrary, he lulls his conscience by interpreting the Scriptures to his advantage. But neither his wife nor his oldest son are fooled. When, after a long-delayed operation, Gertrude recovers her sight she is not long to find out that sin has corrupted the soul of her benefactor. Seeing no hope in the situation, the young woman decides to take her own life.
