Roy Boulting directs this 1950s British comedy starring Glynis
Johns as a woman whose sympathy for those in need plays havoc with
her love life. Though it may seem to outsiders that Josephine Luton
(Johns) is a good match for her fiancé, businessman Alan Hartley
(Donald Sinden), there is a major problem - Alan is doing too well
to elicit her sympathy. This goes instead to his friend David Hewer
(Peter Finch), a playwright whose lack of success thus far leaves
him in a melancholy state of mind. Josephine duly begins a romantic
relationship with David to try and cheer him up, but are there men
in even more desperate straits that could steal her from him?
The true story of an English missionary (Ingrid Bergman) who led a
hundred children over enemy territory in pre-WWII China. Robert
Donat plays a Chinese mandarin in his final screen performance and
North Wales stands in for the Chinese countryside.
