Starring Ingrid Bergman, Curt Jurgens, Robert Donat

Gladys Aylward died in Formosa in 1970, after more than 30 years as a missionary in mainland China. The true story of her determined struggle against apparently hopeless odds is an almost incredible record of courage and dedication.

A film about the author of Don Quixote narrated by Frank Finlay.
Don Quixote was published in 1604 and has been a bestseller ever since. It has been filmed several times, made into a musical, and on Sunday 7 January will be presented on BBC television with Rex Harrison playing Don Quixote.
The Don and his servant Sancho Panza are famous figures-but the story of their creator, Miguel de Cervantes , is much less well known.
This film biography traces the adventurous life of Miguel de Cervantes until he died on 23 April 1616 - on the same day as William Shakespeare.
