The Lady With a Lamp
(1951) Drama NR
Romanticized version
of Florence Nightingale's successful fight for sanitary medical conditions
during the Crimean War. This version concentrates upon the political
complexities the hard-headed nurse, played by Neagle, had to battle. The
cast gives fine impressions of the many historical personalities, and the
contrast in settings--between stately British homes and the squalor of the
hospital--focuses the viewer's attentions on what the real battles were.
Honorable mention should be given to Lewthwaite's editing of the war
sequences.
Starring Anna Neagle,
Michael Wilding, Gladys Young, Felix Aylmer, Julian D'Albie, Arthur Young

Florence Nightingale
(1985 US, made for TV) Drama
A 19th-century
noblewoman studies nursing and emerges as a national heroine by
revolutionizing British medical care.
Jaclyn Smith is a
curious choice to play the title character in the made-for-TV biopic
Florence Nightingale. This fact, however, never enters into the
consciousness of the viewer, thanks to Smith's excellent performance. Some
liberties are taken with the details of the life of "The Lady with the
Lamp," notably the addition of a largely speculative romance between
Florence
and her young swain (Timothy Dalton). The best scenes--and the most
accurate--occur during the Crimean War sequences and during Nightingale's
strenuous efforts to form the Red Cross.
Director: Daryl Duke
Cast: Claire Bloom,
Jeremy Brett, Timothy Dalton, Peter McEnery, Jaclyn Smith, Timothy West
