Description of Florence Nightingale by Provident
Timothy Dalton and Claire Bloom co-star in this inspiring 1985 biopic about the nursing pioneer who came to be known as the saintly Lady of the Lamp. Ignoring a flurry of naysayers, the unwaveringly devoted Florence Nightingale (Jaclyn Smith of CHARLIES ANGELS) didn't think twice before leaving Britain to care for the wounded soldiers of the Crimean War. Helmed by the director of THE THORN BIRDS and written by the scribes behind THE BURNING BED, this Emmy-winning feature makes good on its classic television pedigree.
