Early colour film and leading role for Anna Way Wong who's excellent. It's a version of Madame Butterly only set in China, presumably for her. Kenneth Harker is the drip guy. Baby Moran is excellent too as their kid (who doesn't look even a little Chinese but acts so well it doesn't matter). Only 55 minutes. Frances Marion wrote a tight script and concise titles.
