Summary
Pathe synopsis: Final trip is to the ancient Chinese city of Wangcheng. The local store is full of exotic goods ranging from ancient eggs to dried octupus and edible bird’s nests. But the city, built at a cost of £100,000, is merely a fine example of how realistic a film set can look - for the city is at Elstree, Hertfordshire, where we also see the cameras shooting a scene starring Ingrid Bergman for "Inn of the Sixth Happiness".
