Synopsis

Dawn is a 1928 British silent war film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Sybil Thorndike, Gordon Craig, and Marie Ault. It was produced by Wilcox for his British & Dominions Film Corporation. The film was made at Cricklewood Studios in London with sets designed by the art director Clifford Pember. Based on a play by Reginald Berkeley, this film tells the story of World War I martyr Edith Cavell. Sybil Thorndike stars as Cavell, a nurse who risked her own life by rescuing British prisoners of war from the Germans. When Cavell was captured and sentenced to be executed, it sparked international outrage, even from neutral nations.
