Nightingales

Directed by Mimi Leder

With Fran Bennett, Chelsea Field, Galyn Görg, Neith Hunter and Mimi Kuzyk

"Nightingales" are eight student nurses living off campus in Southern California in this stylish Aaron Spelling production that ultimately was developed into a short-lived series which aired on NBC at the beginning of 1989. Subsequently edited down to 90 minutes, the film later served as the premiere episode for the series, which was reworked to add Suzanne Pleshette and Barry Newman as stars.
