    "Thank you miss, you've been a godsend!"

    Anna Neagle repeats her turn as Edith Cavell in her only postwar film for a director other than Herbert Wilcox with a much more upbeat conclusion.

    It's all rather twee (there are even songs) but very pretty in Eastmancolour (sic) and full of familiar faces, while the contributions of West Indians to the NHS is acknowledged by the presence in the cast of Lucille Mapp.
