Description: Made in France this film has French dialog with English subtitles. Sacha Guitry plays the title role. "Beginning at the time of the Franco-Prussian War, when the fame of Pasteur was not yet firmly established, the action covers a period of slightly more than a score of years, ending with the remarkable celebration of Pasteur's seventieth birthday on December 27, 1892. The highlight of the picture is the first inoculation of a human being, a nine-year-old Alsatian boy, Joseph Meister, against rabies in 1885. From the narrow standpoint of cinema entertainment, the picture lacks drama. Nevertheless, this Paris importation is well worth seeing." N.Y. Times
