It was based on the 1942 novel One Pair of Feet by Monica Dickens. Like the novel, the film is a plea for better conditions in English hospitals – and, more specifically, for better treatment of England's selfless nurses.[2]
The Lamp Still Burns was produced by actor Leslie Howard, who was killed in the service of his country not long after the film was released.[3]
