An American naval officer leaves his Japanese wife without realising she is pregnant with their son. Ponderous film version of Puccini's opera that features none of its music until the final credits. Sidney is good as the tragic Cho-Cho San, but Cary Grant gets little chance to shine as B. F. Pinkerton, who comes across as a flippant and unlikable character. The couple's reunion is achingly poignant, but it's a bit of a slog getting to it.
