Movie Description
Well done drama based on the life of missionary Gladys Aylward who led a group of children through perilous 1930's China. Robert Donat gives a particularly fine performance as a Mandarin in this, his final film. Based on "The Small Woman" by Alan Burgess. Academy Award Nominations: Best Director.
Synopsis
Based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a British maid who became a missionary in China. As the hostile Chinese begin to trust her -- and even a powerful mandarin converts to Christianity -- there is one more difficult task for her to accomplish: to guide 100 children through enemy territory and into safety during the Chinese-Japanese war.
