Starring 20-year-old Jean Seberg in her film debut, the film was directed by Otto Preminger (Preminger accompanied Seberg to the film’s premiere) and screenplay written by Graham Greene (based on George Bernard Shaw’s play).
The film was highly criticized upon its release, Seberg for her performance (”I have two memories of Saint Joan. The first was being burned at the stake in the picture. The second was being burned at the stake by the critics. The latter hurt more,” she recalled) but especially Preminger for casting a relative novice in the title role, and the film failed to find an audience at the box office.
Preminger cast Seberg in his next film, Bonjour Tristesse, which also received harsh reviews and almost ended Seberg’s film career.
The film’s poster was designed by Saul Bass and the film was released on Bass’s 37th birthday.
