Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - This musical did not age well. I'm very disappointed.
This musical did not age well at all. I'm crushed and disappointed. Purchased for my granddaughter based on my memory of the film, but the acting was weak and stilted, with the exception of the old Polynesian dame, who was WONDERFUL. Still, not worth the money or experience of seeing it again.

Rating: - A Classic
South Pacific is a classic. The beauty, the actors, and the music all come together to make this a movie my family and I truly enjoy. There is much to learn from the movie too, as it's much deeper than just scenery and music. It addresses prejudice in a very tactful way, as it was meant to do by it's writers. At the time it was written, few screen writers would dare attempt such, as they were sure to be snubbed, but thankfully South Pacific became a huge success, despite early poor reviews, and has ...
