The Girl in White is a 1952 American drama film directed by John Sturges and starring June Allyson, Arthur Kennedy and Mildred Dunnock.
Ben plans to continue his education at Harvard, but upsets Emily by asking her to abandon her studies and accompany him.
Hospitals deny her an internship until a reluctant Dr. Seth Pawling is persuaded to accept her, although he confines her mainly to ambulance duty.
A patient is pronounced dead prematurely by a Dr. Graham, but is resuscitated by Emily, who exhausts herself for hours in the process.
A nurse informs the press of Emily's heroic act, irritating Graham but impressing Pawling, who recognizes her determination and skills.
