One rainy afternoon I was channel surfing and came across this movie and fortunately for me it was very close to the beginning. I was so drawn into the story and captivated by Ingrid Bergman’s performance that I forgot I was even watching television!! This is one of the most touching and moving stories I have ever seen and (I won’t give this part of the movie away) when the Chinese gave “Gladys” a new name and what that translated to in English I thought I was going to go through a whole box of tissues right then and there. The storyline, scenery and acting are superb and the fact that it is based on a true story only makes it more inspiring. My cousin is 18 years old and wants to pursue a career in the mission field and I told her many times that she has to see this film. So I’m not only going to purchase one for MY video library but one for HER’S as well.

Based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a house maid in England who was “not qualified” to be sent to China as a missionary, so went there on her own, saving every shilling earned for a ticket on the Trans-Siberian railroad. Taking place in the pre-WWII era, it’s an adventure story of great spiritual courage, the chaos of war, and a romance between two independent people who never thought they would find love.
