Carole Lombard Takes a Dramatic Turn in Vigil in the Night, 1 December 1999
6/10
Author: savanna-2 from USA

Fine performances by Carole Lombard and Anne Shirley, as sisters who persue demanding nursing careers. Film is bolstered by the stoic yet compassionate doctor played by leading man, Brian Aherne. Carole Lombard fans, used to her in comedic roles, are in for a treat as this role show cases Ms. Lombards versatility as an actress.
