Inn of Sixth Happiness (movie, 1958) starring Ingrid Bergman and Robert Donat

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.

Scenes from the movie were filmed on the Lleyn peninsula, as well as at Clough Williams-Ellis's home, Plas Brondanw. Several scenes used Clough's Folly Castle to double as part of a Chinese wall. The Buddha in Portmeirion was a prop from the film.
