Outstanding Rosalind Russell vehicle which gave her another Oscar nomination. True to form, Russell lost, but she gave her everything as the Australian nurse who dedicated her life for children stricken with infantile paralysis.
Also outstanding here were Philip Merivale, as Dr. Brack, the embodiment of medical ignorance, who refused to accept Kenny's theories and fought her for many years. Stubborn and resistant to change, Merivale was excellent and certainly warranted a best supporting actor nomination. Ditto for Alexander Knox,as the doctor who believed in what Kenny was trying to do.
Kenny dedicated her life to this cause and for this reason she did not marry.
Heartbreaking and inspiring, this film should not be missed.
