The Inn of the Sixth Happiness is an exceptional movie. Made even more exceptional by the fact that it’s based on a true story. It’s the story of Gladys Aylward (performed by Ingrid Bergman,  Casablanca in a great performance). A British woman in the early 20th century who feels called by God to be a missionary in China.

Glays as a servant girl, earning the money for her trip to China

Since she has no education or qualifications, the Missionary Society refuses to send her. Gladys steadfastly believes that God has called her there.  So she works as a servant, putting money aside from each paycheck until she can afford a one-way trip to China. Once she’s there, she swiftly finds that her struggle is only beginning …

House of Strangers (1949) starring Edward G. Robinson, Richard Comte, Susan Hayward

House of Strangers is supposedly a film noir, but it doesn’t feel like one. Instead, it’s the story of an immigrant family, with a controlling, hard father who runs the family with an iron fist, and his anger and control extends beyond the grave. It’s also the story of the favored son, who goes to prison for his father’s crime — and after his father’s death, manages to break free of the anger and bitterness that his father used to control him.

Editorial review of Road House (1948) courtesy of Amazon.com

Buy Road House from Amazon.com Road House has acquired a cult as a prime film noir. Certainly the title location is archetypal, a lounge and bowling alley up toward the Canadian border, and Ida Lupino and Richard Widmark make the most of flavorful roles that would qualify them as exemplary noir denizens even if they hadn’t established that elsewhere.

Moontide is a variety of things — a forgotten movie with excellent acting, a character study, a film noir. It’s the story of a French wanderer named Bobo (Jean Gabin).  Bobo is a handsome, hard-drinking man who considers himself a wandering gypsy.  He wanders from place to place and job to job. His best friend Tiny (Thomas Mitchell) tails him.  But this friend is more of a leech.  He blackmails Bobo into paying his bills so that Tiny doesn’t have to work for a living.

Buy from Amazon Until they come to a small fishing town, and Bobo falls for a beautiful waitress (Ida Lupino).  And after Bobo rescues her from an attempted suicide by drowning, the two begin falling in love.  Then, Bobo begins to think about settling down for the first time … But that doesn’t fit in with Tiny’s plans. And an old man has been murdered. But Bobo remembers nothing about it since he was drinking at the time …
