- Synopsis:
- Inspired by her dream to be 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 and converts a powerful mandarin 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. This film was adapted from Alan Burgess's best-seller The Small Woman.

A charming film - The Inn of the Sixth Happiness review by SJ
A great evening spent watching a film with drama, great acting, wonderful scenery and above all else no obscene language. A clear contrast with some of today's Hollywood output.
