Saint Joan (also called
Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan) is a 1957 British-American film adapted from the
George Bernard Shaw play of the same title about the life of
Joan of Arc. The restructured screenplay by
Graham Greene, directed by
Otto Preminger, begins with the play's last scene, which then becomes the springboard for a long flashback, from which the main story is told. At the end of the flashback, the film then returns to the play's final scene, which then continues through to the end.
