The Passionate Pilgrim (1953)
Tells the story of a group of nurses working with Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War. “The story is based on the diary of Miss Sarah Anne Terror who was one of the thirty-eight women to accompany Miss Florence Nightingale to the Crimea in 1854. The principle characters are the nurses and doctors who fought to make her venture a success. Their names may be unfamiliar, but in their different ways they possessed the qualities of true greatness.” - Radio Times (1953).
