06/26/2021 Heavily different from the story told by Gladys Aylward herself in plot and tone though. See more lanfranco c @Lanfrancobz 09/07/2020 The power of the Faith !

See more 02/22/2019 You can't help but notice Ingrid Bergman's sunny presence, but there's nothing remarkable in her acting. The speed at which she is accepted by the whole province (a few seconds in the film) with no scenes to describe what she did to earn this acclaim as the "one who loves" is totally unbelievable. The film just beats this fact into you with nothing to back it up. Long and boring, this attempt at covering 1930s China during the pre-World War II Japanese attacks is meandering and dull. This film does not hit the mark. See more Robbie K @RT50853010 02/21/2019 Some movies are so good, so good that it should be illegal. The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (Mark Robson, 1958), is one of them. It would be impossible for me to describe how much I love this film, from the beginning to the end. There isnot a moment in this 2h30 film that I find boring or too long. Yes, it's a long film, but I wouldn't mind if it was longer! It's the kind of movie that makes you want to change the world, that makes you feel strong. It's a movie that makes you live various emotions: happiness, love, sadness, hope, etc. The best adjective to describe The Inn of the Sixth would be: POWERFUL. Powerful because it has a strong impact on you. Being a real tearjerker, you can't not feel moved after having seen it. Oh, and it has Ingrid Bergman. What more can we ask? I believe this was Ingrid Bergman's most touching performance. I simply love her in this. Her acting is so honest, so strong. We really connect with her. The Inn of the Sixth Happiness was nominated for Best Director Oscar (but didn't win). It won a Golden Globes for Best Film Promoting International Understanding and was nominated for Best Motion Picture Actress " Drama (Ingrid Bergman) and Best Motion Picture Actor " Drama (Robert Donat). Ingrid Bergman and Kurt Jurgens were also both nominated for a BAFTA Award (Best Foreign Actor and Best Foreign Actress). Mark Robson received a DGA Award nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures. Finally, both Ingrid Bergman and Robert Donat won a Best Actress and Best Actor National Board of Review, USA Award. The film was the second most popular film at the British Box Office in 1959. In other words, the reception was good. See more Thomas M @TMProofreader 02/01/2019 The best inspiring movie ever made! With the best movie character ever portrayed: Ingrid Bergman as Gladys Aylward!
