Joan of Arc is a 1948 Technicolor film starring Ingrid Bergman as the French religious icon and war hero. It was produced by Walter Wanger. It is based on Maxwell Anderson's successful Broadway play Joan of Lorraine (which also starred Bergman), and was adapted for the screen by Anderson himself, in collaboration with Andrew Solt.
Joan of Arc: the Image of Female Heroism by Marina Warner (University of California Press, 1981 ISBN 0-520-22464-7) is not so much a biography as a book about Joan of Arc or, more precisely, how she has been perceived by others over the centuries and how that perception has shaped her image.
Joan of Arc is a fictional character on the animated television series Clone High voiced by Nicole Sullivan. She is an exact clone of Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc is a 1999 two-part television miniseries about the 15th century Catholic Saint of the same name and is without a doubt the best of the recent Joan of Arc movies. The film stars Leelee Sobieski as the lead who plays Joan with a passion and conviction of a woman born for the role. Unlike most film versions of the story, Pierre Cauchon, portrayed in this miniseries by Peter O'Toole, is here depicted as a stern but sympathetic character and Joan's personal confessor, instead of the cruel and pro-English manipulator described in the historical documents, and which we see in most versions of the story.
