Movie Reviews of Nurse Edith Cavell
Movie Review: Highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
Edith Louisa Cavell (played by Anna Neagle) was a British nurse, serving as matron of the Berkendael Institute in Brussels, Belgium. After the Germany Army occupied Brussels, Miss Clavell's faith would not let her sit still, and ignore the fate of Allied soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. And so she became involved in smuggling men out of the country. But, the Germans are the activities are going on, and they are determined to stop the flow of soldiers and those that are helping them.
This 1939 movie was made at the beginning of the Second World War, and was intended to remind the British people of heroes of yesterday. It is very well written, telling the story of the life and death of Nurse Clavell with a lot of power. I really enjoyed this moving movie, and do not hesitate to recommend it to you and your family.
(By the way, one of the characters in this movie is played by George Sanders, one of my favorite actors!)
