Monsieur Vincent is a 1947 French historical drama film directed by Maurice Cloche about St. Vincent de Paul. It received an honorary Academy Award in 1949 as the best foreign-language film released in the United States in 1948. The Vatican placed it on its 1995 list of great films. Pierre Fresnay, who plays the titular role of St. Vincent, won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. His performance was described in Sight and Sound as "one of the most perfect pieces of work to be seen for many years in any clime".
