Madame Butterfly

1932
Drama
1h 26m
Lt. B.F. Pinkerton is on shore-leave in Japan. He and his buddy Lieutenant Barton, out for a night on the town, stop in at a local establishment to check out the food, drink and girls, 'uh, and girls' to quote Lt. Barton. Pinkerton spies Cho-Cho San and immediately falls in lust. Barton counsels Pinkerton that he can 'marry' this beautiful Japanese girl, enjoy himself with cultural approval, then sail happily on back to America unshackled, since abandonment equates divorce in Japan...

This is the first talkie of Madame Butterfly with Sylvia Sidney as the Asian lady Cho-Cho San. As her American love interest Cary Grant gets one of his earliest leading parts and he does well. However don't expect a classic Grant performance. The script and direction is very set and he's not able to shine out of that. It's paced slow as you follow the girls heart and emotions from undeniable happiness and devotion to the brutal realization that American culture is not that different to her own.
