The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (DVD, 2003)

This movie earned Ingrid Bergman second Ocsar nomination and almost a second Oscar. This an excellent movie and story. Miss Bergman, Curt Jurgens and Robert Donat are superb. I bought this DVD because this movie is one of my all time favorites.

I love this movie, because it tells the true story of Gladys Aylward, an English domestic who took it upon herself to go to China as a missionary, virtually alone and unaided. Ingrid Bergman is characteristically wonderful as Aylward; I don't want to give the plot away, but it involves saving 100 Chinese orphans, a long trek on foot over the mountains...not exactly your thrill-a-minute Schwartzenegger movie, but still exciting and a good, solid, uplifting family film of quality.

i already had this on vhs and wanted the dvd. Great movie with a great message, it shows how one person can make a difference in changing the world for good.

If you have never seen this movie it is an absolute don't miss it. This is a wonderful movie for the time period it was made in. This is a great example of a great movie from the late 50's and Ingrid Bergman is absolutely delightful in this movie. Not really for young kids but older kids and aldults will love it. Ingrid Bergman in a small Chinese village with the Japanese attacking China. A can't miss film and a must for any great film collection.

Have not viewed the DVD yet so there is nothing to report at this point but the process went fine overall.

Tracking down a film I hhad no seen for years can be a disappointment, this one is not and stands out as a classic in every way. Set in China with the Japanese launching an invasion, it is a very heartrending story of the epic journey of Grace Aylward leading a hundred children to safety -an dit is true. Ingrid Bergman puts in a marvellous performance, and Curt Jurgens plays the gritty eurasian colonel toperfection. Their romance equals Bergman and Bogart in Casablanca, doomed from the start. What I liked particularly about this film is that is was underplayed drama, which emphases it more and the sense of tragedy grows as the town is threatened. The support acting is very good. Yes, a film that should be in every collection. If the Chinese have a proverb of the 'Five Happinesses', and the Inn was the 'sixth', this film would definitely be the 'seventh.

This movie is interesting and founded upon real happenings. We need more people willing to give up all for their calling and desire for God.

I love the large selections and the prices cannot be beat. I will use the seller again. Fast delivery

I looked for this movie for 2 years and finally found it. If you see this movie It will haunt you and you will want to see it again and again. It has such depth and wonder about it. It would be one of you top movies that Ingrid Bergman made. Truly a treasure.

I love this movie because it is a movie about a Christian, but not a Christian movie. Also, it was produced by Fox, so it is well-done.

I have been a fan of Ingrid Bergman's for many years. I enjoyed this film when it was first released. Although the Hollywood version is not completely true to the facts about Gladys Aylward, it is full of history and the social structure of the Chinese people of that time. This DVD is suitable for the whole family.

Simply put, one of my all time favorites. And even better based on a true story. I bought it because I lent mine out to a friend and he wouldn`t return it. Guess he liked too.

I was looking for this DVD for my wife. This site had it and they sent it to me quickly and at a fair price. Next time I will use them again.

I guess I was 8 years old when my Dad took me to see "The Inn." He, being a political and social activist in the early 50s tried to explain to me that changes in our society could be done non-violently. And so this beautiful story proceeds to let the viewer be taken in by Ingrid Bergman's charming performance....charming in the sense that she integrates herself into Mandarin society so beautifully with the goal being "freedom." THe best tale within the story is how she pushes and fights Mandarin "big wigs" (now that's classy) to stop binding the feet of women from a very early age. And, you know friends, it was the 50s, before the tumultuous 60s in the U.S., so who, of course, wins out in this splendidly photographed movie, but good old Ingrid. Old! OMG! Watching now as an elderperson, I can only imagine if Isabella Rossalini (Ingrid's daughter) had been born with blonde hair! They'd look like twins. (okay...so I get off the track)...

THere are so many old movies that I want to see and to keep because of one special reason or another, perhaps each in its own right, track the person who eventually become the grown-up me. And this is one of those movies.

We see so much hatred displayed off-the-screen, in 2008, still in Iraq for 8 years, the Middle-East in fire for decades now...Vietnam (so similar to Iraq). Fortunately, it was the significant influence of the young university society that finally convinced Mr. Nixon to pull out. And so the story continues.

Yes, I do get off track, but this movie simply impacted how my philosophy about war and hatred are simply unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. Thank you, Ingrid.

This movie is about persevering and overcoming in the midst of impossible circumstances. After viewing I wanted a copy to share with friends. The acting is great and the story has a true to life feel to it, however there are some digressions from the book. Be encouraged and check out this movie, if you dont want to buy it, get the DVD from your local library or netflix or video store. Its amazing what one person with great faith in God can do!

This is a great Ingred Bergman film and is a true story about the history of China. A real classic and an academy award winner.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE AT AGE 70 AND WOULD HAVE LOVED IT AS A CHILD,DID LOVE IT AS A YOUNG WOMAN. WOULD SUE ANYONE WHO CALLED IT A CHICK FLICK. THIS MOVIE IS TRUELY FOR THINKING FEELING PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER.

I remembered seeing this movie when I was young -- it was a great movie then, and is still, now. Very factual in nature to show the struggle of a missionary hearted young lady that feels a call to go to China. Her struggles, the people's struggles around her, and the true life story of how she was able to save many children from certain death by the Japanese. The movie was much longer in the original version, but because of the age of the original film, some parts were not able to be reproduced. The film still has the essence of the story and is very compelling in the comparison of how people lived and do live in other parts of the world compared to the affluence of today in our country. I would recommend this movie. It is a movie that children or adults could enjoy.

I bought this for my sister,she was looking for it and could not find it,and
she does not have a computer,

I loved this movie ever since I saw it years ago. It does drag at time but is a must see even if you don't like slow moving movies. I like that is also a true story and what the Chinese went through in wwII was bad. Why I bought the movie was the price I had a hard time finding it at a decient price

This movie is good, clean family entertainment. Based on the life of Gladys Aylward,a young woman determined to be a missionary in China, the movie follows her journey to gain the respect of locals, and bring the gospel to those in need. Her greatest accomplishment is leading 100 homeless children across mountainous, enemy-held terrain during the Japanese Invasion of China. The only problem with this movie is that the producers created a romance between Aylward and a local Eurasian Army colonel that did not actually exist.
