This is a fair film in every aspect; the acting is gleaming, the landscapes splendid, the drama intense. Based on the upright record of Gladys Aylward, a house maid in England who was “not generous” to be sent to China as a missionary, so went there on her enjoy, saving every shilling earned for a sign on the Trans-Siberian railroad. Taking situation in the pre-WWII era, it’s an adventure chronicle of sizable spiritual courage, the chaos of war, and a romance between two independent people who never understanding they would procure worship.
Ingrid Bergman is bright as Gladys. It is one of her very best performances, and my personal current. Robert Donat, who passed away before the film was released, is also fine as the Mandarin of Yang Cheng, and Curt Jurgens as Captain Lin Nan is magnificent and believable as the man who falls in treasure with Gladys. In a cramped but pivotal portion, Athene Seyler is terrific as Jennie Lawson, the elderly missionary who helps Gladys in her early years, and Peter Chong is a delight as Yang the cook.
It is queer that the only Oscar nomination went to director Notice Robson; perhaps Bergman was overlooked because she had received a “Best Actress” for “Anastasia” two years earlier, but Bergman fans will give this film their occupy five-star award.
The amazing state filming by Freddie Young was done in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales, a noteworthy substitute for Shaanxi Province, in the heart of China. The village reproductions are very well done, and gaze incredibly similar to films I have seen shot in China. The sparkling gather by Malcolm Arnold adds grand to the film, and Alan Burgess, whose book “The Diminutive Woman” is the basis of the yarn, wrote the script, which is witty, wise and fantastic, with Isobel Lennart.

Many times I’ve laughed out loud, and many times I’ve cried watching this film; it’s grand for several viewings, as it is account in scope, and the script has an intelligence that makes it a rare gem. total running time is 158 minutes.
In the film, Chinese tradition has five “Happiness” wishes: Wealth, longevity, marvelous health, virtue, and a smooth ragged age and death. “Each person must resolve in their heart what the sixth happiness is”.
Overlong but fairly fascinating bio of Gladys Aylward, an English-woman who, despite her lack of qualifications, becomes a missionary in China. The film is episodic and covers Aylward’s brief career as a parlor maid (saving money for her scramble to China), her promenade to China, her work at the Inn of the Sixth Happiness and the Chinese-Japanese war which results in her guiding 100+ children in an arduous fling through the mountains to a safer village. I didn’t glean the film as involving as other reviewers but it is well mounted and nice to stare at. Bergman is outstanding as are other supporting players, most notably Curt Jergens and Robert Donat. This was Donat’s last film (he died before it was released) and his last cloak words are prophetic - “We shall not explore each other again, I contemplate. Farewell.”
What is most distinguished about this dvd release is the first-rate commentary by Lop Redman, Aubrey Solomon and Donald Spoto. Redman talks about the right Gladys Aylward, Solomon talks about the film production and Spoto discusses Ingrid Bergman. There were many things changed for the film version and many of them are limited and inexplicable. For example, Aylward’s given Chinese name was Ai-weh-deh (not Jenai), an adopted child was actually named Ninepence (Sixpense in the movie), etc. Other changes were more larger in scope - Aylward’s lumber to China was quite harsh and she almost died several times. The inn-keeper, Jeanne Lawson (memorably played by Athene Seyler) was no as first-rate a woman as portrayed in the film - she was actually a cantankerous person prone to fits and opinion to be quite exasperated by the villagers. Aylward herself was concept by many to be fanatical and to achieve it bluntly, off her rocker. Many other piquant aspects about the film and the women (both Aylward and Bergman) are included.
