South Pacific Summary This Rodgers And Hammerstein Musical, Set On A Remote Island During The Second World War, Tracks Two Parallel Romances: One Between A Navy Nurse And A Wealthy French Plantation Owner, The Other Between A Young American Officer And A Native Girl. Based On Stories From James Michener S Book Tales From The South Pacific. Actors: Rossano Brazzi, Mitzi Gaynor, John Kerr, And France Nuyen Format: Dvd, One Disc Run Time: 157 Minutes Rating: Not Rated Studio: 20th Century Fox

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
