The Story of Edith Cavell, who was shot early in WW1 for sheltering British soldiers while working as a nurse in Brussells.

This intriguing dramatized account of WWI nurse Edith Cavell's imprisonment and execution at the hands of the Germans was produced shortly after her death. Cavell had been arrested for sheltering Allied soldiers and aiding their escape. Directed by and starring former circus performer Percy Moran, with Cora Lee in the title role, what this film lacks in completeness it makes up for in sheer drama.—Ulf Kjell Gür
