Monsieur Vincent	comment	Monsieur Vincent is a 1947 film from France, directed by Maurice Cloche.It is a biopic of the life of Vincent de Paul, a Real Life 17th century priest who became famous for his service of the poor, so famous that in 1737 he was made a saint by the Catholic Church. The film follows de Paul through 43 years, from 1617 to 1660. He starts out an obscure parish priest in Chatillon-les-Dombes and rises to fame, giving counsel to princes and ministers, while all the time being focused on the singular goal of ameliorating the desperate poverty of early modern France.Pierre Fresnay stars as Vincent de Paul. This was a comeback role for Fresnay, who was in trouble with the post-war French government for a while due to his activity in the film industry during the Nazi occupation.

Monsieur Vincent / int_5cd8680b	type	Doorstop Baby
Monsieur Vincent / int_5cd8680b	comment	Doorstop Baby: An example of this trope that is both realistic and horrifying. Vincent finds a baby frozen to death in a box outside the church. A legless beggar sitting next to the church door says unconcernedly that he listened to the baby cry for a couple of hours until it died. An appalled Vincent then takes the next baby away, when the woman (who was bringing it there) gives it to him directly.

Monsieur Vincent / int_9519d89a	comment	Wealthy Philanthropist: Many of Vincent's backers, most notably the Ladies of Charity. The film makes perfectly clear that many of them support Vincent less from a sincere desire to help the poor, and more because they have nothing else to do. When his agitation becomes inconvenient or rubs up against their prejudices, they have little problem cutting him off.

Monsieur Vincent / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: Most prominent in the scene where the Ladies of Charity tell Vincent that he is asking for too much and they can't do any more. Vincent, who has had enough of their carping and criticism, puts the Doorstop Baby he just rescued on the table, and demands to know what they'll do about it. It turns out that the rich ladies will do nothing, as they are sickened and disgusted by the baby, regarding it as a product of sin, suggesting that the baby should die for that reason. Even the nuns have the same attitude, refusing to look Vincent in the face. An angry Vincent snarls that when God wanted someone to die for human sin, he sent his Son.

Vincent shames the villagers when he insists on entering the woman's house, only to find that while she is dead, it wasn't of plague at all.

Another says "It's not just about the poor, it's about us too."
