The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
BACK AGAIN - INGRID BERGMAN in her greatest role
Directed by Mark Robson
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A biographical drama about a determined missionary woman who finds purpose and love in rural China, ultimately discovering her calling to protect children during wartime.
All her life, Englishwoman Gladys Aylward knew that China was where she belonged. Unqualified to be sent as a missionary, Gladys works as a domestic to earn to send herself to a poor, remote village. There, she eventually lives a full and happy life: running the inn, acting as 'foot inspector', advising the local Mandarin, and even winning the heart of mixed-race Captain Lin Nan. Gladys discovers her real destiny when the country is invaded by Japan and the Chinese children need her to save their lives.
