The film stars Rosalind Russell, Alexander Knox, and Philip Merivale. The movie was adapted from the book And They Shall Walk, by Elizabeth Kenny and Martha Ostenso, and directed by Dudley Nichols. The "Sister" in the title does not refer to being a nun but rather a rank she had held as a nurse in the Australian Army.
