At least one third could easily he trimmed out of the running-time of two hours and forty minutes of this celluloid opus but those who don't mind ultra-length will be rewarded by one of Ingrid Bergman's warmest performances.

The Inn of the Sixth Happiness is an inspiring story and a well made movie. It has the historical epic feel you'd expect from a film with such scope.

If you're put off by the missionary impulse, then this film probably isn't for you-even though Bergman brings an honest earnestness to the film that's hard to resist.

Sweeping, melodramatic, and brimming with positive messages about morality and virtue, Mark Robson's epic film embodies many of the values idealized in the Eisenhower era.
