Ingrid Bergman stars as Gladys Aylward in Oscar-nominated Mark Robson's dramatic film, loosely based on fact. Rejected for missionary work in China, Aylward makes her own way there and wins over a powerful mandarin to Christianity despite his initial suspicions. But the test of her faith comes when the Chino-Japanese war breaks out in 1940 and she must guide 100 children to safety through enemy-held territory.
