Synopsis:

Based on Colleen McCullough's steamy best-selling novel, An Indecent Obsession stars Wendy Hughes as Sister Honour Langtry, a nurse who runs the psychiatric ward of a military hospital on a Pacific island during World War II. The indecent obsession of the title occurs when a seemingly 'normal' and handsome patient (played by Gary Sweet) arrives, stirring all sorts of repressed and unhealthy desires in Sister Langtry and her unstable wards.

Wendy Hughes plays a gorgeous nurse tending to emotionally disturbed Australian soldiers during WWII. Private Gary Sweet seems to be the most well-adjusted of the patients, which Hughes finds attractive. The fly in the ointment is jealous, maladjusted-patient Richard Moir. His campaign of cruelty, calculated to humiliate and unhinge Sweet, serves only to draw Sweet closer to Hughes. His own love for Hughes unrequited, Moir kills himself. Hughes is then abruptly deserted by Sweet, who feels responsible for Moir's death. Despite all her good intentions and her heartfelt compassion, Hughes is left alone upon war's end. Indecent Obsession is based on a work by popular Australian novelist Colleen McCullough (Tim, The Thorn Birds).

Sister Honour Langtree (Wendy Hughes), is in charge of a military hospital for psychiatric patients. She however transgresses boundaries by developing a sexual attraction for a new patient.
