"The Inn of The Sixth Happiness" is a biographical film of a domestic second parlour maid, Gladys Alyward, who wants to go to China as a missionary. The China Mission doesn't believe she is qualified and finds her a domestic post as a maid, undeterred Gladys does not accept that she cannot go to China as missionary because her social 'betters' believe her to be unqualified.Bergman plays this indomitable true and real life character, and she plays it well with a natural innocent and stoically determined manner - she is going to be a missionary, against all advice, whatever anyone says.  Having visited the China Mission in London and been received with the patronising attitude of the times, she is turned away.  Told by Mr Robinson, head of the China Mission in London, that she is 'not qualified to be a missionary'.  Bergman plays with empathy the role of a victim of patronising snobbery, she has a lovely way of pronouncing "not qualified" that says it all.After a year or so of working at a job she is deemed qualified for, a second maid in domestic London service. She finally sets off with little more than her passport,and the name of one British missionary.She heads out from London by train across Europe and on to Russia and the Chinese border, having bought her ticket to China by instalments with her palour-maid wages. She is finally seen off by the travel agent and the housekeeper and even her boss, the world famous explorer and China expert who turns up unexpectedly with a warm coat for her. It is a rather touching send off, the people who had tried to dissuade her and who had obviously learnt, it was pointless, are now waving her off with concern and admiration, at the beginning of the ardous train journey.Once there, Gladys becomes established in the Chinese Province at the hotel run by a British missionary, an elderly single woman at The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness. Gladys works for acceptance, striking up friendship with a chinese Government Army officer played by Curt Jergens, they fall in love. She becomes the foot inspector at the behest of the local Mandarin Judge of the province, played wonderfully by Robert Donat. The job offer is a compulsory post demanded by the government for its modernisation of China, the judge can't fill it, it is probably only offered to her  because it is a job no-one wants, previous inspectors having been mobbed by angry villagers. Gladys succeeds in convincing the women that foot-binding is cruel and no longer allowed by law.A wonderful and telling scene is a formal dinner and the phrase is used 'the old (Judge) the present (Gladys) and future (Army Colonel) representing the literal transformation of China.She is awarded a Chinese name, meaning "loves People" and when the Japanese invade, bombing and killing in the province, Gladys takes a crocodile of orphans made up of her adopted children and 100s of others, most who have been sent to her from the British Mission, with instructions to get to a pick-up point.  The delicious irony is beginning for the 'parlour maid who is not considered qualified to be a missionary'!After miles of hiking and dodging japanese army patrols and not losing a single toddler, Gladys continues across hundred of miles of mountains and raging rivers, to make a deadline to the nearest city where the children will be picked by trucks. These trucks won't wait so there is the tension throughout the journey.She suceeds and Mr Robinson from the China Mission in London is there to receive the children and Gladys asks him "Do you remember me?",  somewhat awkwardly he replies "Yes". Hah! Well done Gladys!A wonderful film, stylised understatement yet all the more touching, as it is a true story of a real woman with a clear goal and incredible faith and determination and who will not be put off by anyone or any circumstance. A story of amazing courage. No 'role models' like that today!
