Ingrid Bergman stars in this "spectacularly mounted, impressively acted and directed picture" (Variety). Based on the true life story of Gladys Aylward, a modern-day saint, whose unquenchable passion to do good took her halfway around the world. Inspired by her dream of being a missionary, an English parlour maid journeys to China and opens an inn for tired, hungry mule drivers crossing desolate mountain trails. Gradually overcoming the natives' hostility, she wins the heart of a Eurasian colonel (Curt Jurgens) and converts a powerful Mandarin (Robert Donat) to Christianity. But her greatest feat is achieved during the Japanese invasion of China, when she leads one hundred homeless children to safety across enemy-held terrain. Powerful and poignant, this inspired film was adapted from Alan Burgess' best-seller The Small Woman.
