Agnes Of God (1985) -- (Movie Clip) Open, Mon Dieu! Plausible enough that this is Norman Jewison directing, on Quebec locations, with camera by Sven Nykvist and design by Ken Adam, opening the 1985 adaptation of the widely-praised play (and screenplay) by John Pielmeier, only Anne Bancroft among the three stars seen here, in Agnes Of God, 1985, with Jane Fonda and Meg Tilly.

Agnes Of God (1985) -- (Movie Clip) Tell The Court She's Insane Jane Fonda’s first scene, as Montreal psychiatrist Martha Livingston, passes by the title character (Meg Tilly), charged with killing her baby, and her Mother Superior (Anne Bancroft), then consults with colleagues (Francoise Faucher as Eve) about the case, early in Norman Jewison’s Agnes Of God, 1985, from the play by John Pielmeier.

Agnes Of God (1985) -- (Movie Clip) How Are Babies Born?
