This stirring drama is based on the life of Florence Nightingale, an aristocratic woman who defied Victorian society to reform hospital sanitation and to define the nursing profession as it is known today. After volunteering to travel to Scutari to care for the wounded soldiers of the Crimean War, she was scorned by her community and faced great opposition for her new way of thinking. However, through her selfless acts of caring, she quickly became known as "The Lady with the Lamp," the caring nurse whose shadow softened those wounded. From Emmy Award-winning director Daryl Duke (TV's "The Thorn Birds") and writers Ivan Moffat and Rose Leiman Goldemberg (TV's "The Burning Bed") comes the classic TV movie starring Jaclyn Smith, Claire Bloom, Timothy Dalton and Jeremy Brett, now available for the first time on DVD.
Made-for-TV drama based on the life of Florence Nightingale. The story of Nightingale, who abandoned a life of aristocratic comfort to tend to wounded soldiers in the Crimean War, has captured the imagination of a number of generations and has led to the nurse earning the sobriquet 'The Lady of the Lamp'. This biopic follows Nightingale (Jaclyn Smith) as she begins to turn away from the life of privilege celebrated by her parents and embodied by her suitor, Richard Milnes (Timothy Dalton), as news of the dreadful injuries and conditions of the Crimean War filter back to Britain. Eventually, Florence sets out for the war with a team of nurses she has trained and nurtured to offer comfort to those in need.
