This touching true story, filmed beautifully in B&W, is outstanding for its fine performances, as well. The superb Ingrid Bergman stars as the determined would-be missionary who joins a charmingly feisty predecessor in China (played by Dame May Whitty – ?) in her Christian mission. The most memorable performance, however, is that of Robert Donat as the mandarin. This film is worthy of a permanent place in your library.
