Fortunately for the film, the girl is played by his wife, Geneviève Bujold. Martha Hayes is a young girl from rural Quebec who becomes a companion and governess to the eleven-year-old son of a lonely, cultured Montreal widow (Monique Leyrac).

Otherwise her thoughts are confined to romantic musings about herself and her relationship with God.

Love of Camera. Somewhere along her way, Geneviève broke with the past; she became a lapsed Catholic. In 1967, she married a divorced Protestant, Director Paul Almond. In Almond's highly personal new film, The Act of the Heart, she stars as a St. Joan-like naïve who falls fatally in love with an Augustinian priest (Donald Sutherland). The Almonds live quietly with their 20-month-old son Matthew in a rambling house overlooking Montreal, one mile from the home of Geneviève's father, who still drives his city...

...mind about herself. "I have signed no contract with anyone," she says. "I don't know where to go next or how to get there." But she is not likely to hesitate long when someone finally points the way. "I like being told what to do," says Geneviève Bujold. "I wish someone would tell me what...
