Summary: The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Review: This is a truly quality movie. It is one of my all time favorites. It proves to all that an individual can make a difference. I watch it EVERY time it comes on TV. I have named two of my cats Jenai. It is always a constant reminder of that beautiful woman who had a passion for China.

Summary: Inspired and Inspiring!
Review: This is Ingrid Bergman's greatest film - Oscar material, definitely. She excelled herself with her truly dedicated acting and I was swept along by her enthusiasm, her happiness, her sadness, her courage, her love - all the emotions she had to portray. I feel sorry that one reviewer had to mention Gladys Aylward's dislike of the film. She didn't see it. Miss Bergman wrote to her to explain that certain liberties would be taken, because a movie is entertainment - she did not receive a reply. Colonel Linnan did exist and Gladys was in love with him and intended to marry him - see the biography "The Small Woman" by Alan Burgess. The film made him half Dutch, half Chinese, because the part was played by German actor Curt Jurgens. He was the only suitable actor. Perhaps had the film been made now, Chow Yun Fat could have played the role. In my opinion, the film was close enough to the original story to be totally credible.
I have since bought the DVD from Amazon.com and have reviewed that - I'm known as Mary, by the way, my second name, and have a website about the making of this remarkable film.

Summary: Number 1 on My Top 20 List!
Review: This is the also the most moving and touching film I have ever seen in my life. It had been a couple of years since I watched it, so I ordered it from Amazon.com and got it in a couple o days. I still can't make it through the movie without laying waste to half a box of tissues.

Summary: Holy Moly break out the Kleenex
Review: This movie is awesome. I love alot of the old classics. But this one was especially good. I think the reason I like it the best is because it shows that women can do anything as long as they put their mind to it, and they don't mind doing a little work. I caught this movie about 10 years ago on a Sunday afternoon on PBS. It's definately worth your time.

Summary: A Fine Film About One Woman's Faith
Review: You see a great many films that profess to show how faith can move mountains, but INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS actually PROVES that one womans faith can overcome even monumental adversity. So many scenes stand out in this fine adaptation of the true life story of missionary Gladys Allwin. I was reminded when watching it recently of THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM with Gregory Peck. There are many comparisons in the stories of two people far from familiar surroundings who feel they are not capable of the tasks set before them and who ultimatly realize they were MEANT to be there and that only their own special gifts will save those they have come to love and protect. INN is a powerful film which does everyone involved in it's production proud. Don't wait for it's release date, order it RIGHT NOW! You'll be glad you did!
