The dazzling Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, brought to lush life by the director of the original stage version, Joshua Logan. Set on a remote island during the Second World War, South Pacific tracks two parallel romances: one between a Navy nurse (Mitzi Gaynor) “as corny as Kansas in August” and a wealthy French plantation owner (Rossano Brazzi), the other between a young American officer (John Kerr) and a native girl (France Nuyen). The theme of interracial love was still daring in 1958, and so was director Logan’s decision to overlay emotional moments with tinted filters–a technique that misfires as often as it hits. The comic relief tends to fall flat, and an overly spunky Mitzi Gaynor is a poor substitute for the stage original’s Mary Martin. But the location scenery on the Hawaiian island of Kauai is gorgeous, and the songs are among the finest in the American musical catalog: “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Younger than Springtime,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair,” “This Nearly Was Mine.” That’s Juanita Hall as the sly native trader Bloody Mary, singing the haunting tune that launched a thousand tiki bars, “Bali H’ai.” Based on stories from James Michener’s book Tales from the South Pacific. –Robert Horton

I was dissapointed with quality of the color. It was like looking at old phots that faded with time. They could have done a better job at cleaning up the color. The night sceans were almost purple and the day sceans by the ocean were washed out. For the price of the dvd they could have digitly remastered the entire movie and had a better quality.

It wasn’t worth the $21,99 paid.

I was a teen-ager when I first saw this movie and have never stopped being impressed with everything about it. The music will be listened to and enjoyed long after most of us have passed on. My only regret is not having seen the stage production but the combination of Gaynor, Brazzi and Ray Walton would be hard to improve upon. And the photography of the islands takes the viewer into the true land of make-believe. There is also more social weight here than I remembered. “You’ve got to be carefully … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - “Soutn Pacific” DVD
Broadway was just a string of Variety shows until “South Pacific”. Everything changed after that. This DVD is a wonderful experience.
