Sister Kenny

In the pre-World War I Australian bush, self-taught country nurse Elizabeth Kenny (Rosalind Russell) developed a remarkable treatment regimen for polio-stricken children. Though she drew the scorn of the local medical establishment, her theories would become the accepted foundation of physical therapy. Alexander Knox, Dean Jagger, Beulah Bondi co-star; Dudley Nichols directed and adapted Kenny's memoir for the screen. 116 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
