Nurse Cavell is a 1916 Australian feature length film directed by W.J. Lincoln about the execution of Edith Cavell during World War I. There had been a rival Australian film on the same subject, The Martyrdom of Nurse Cavell (1916) directed by John Gavin, who took legal action against Lincoln. Lincoln responded by making another film using the same story, La Revanche (1916).[2]
