Pros: Gaynor and Kerr. Some of the muscial numbers. Important underlying message. Beautiful setting.
Cons: Odd colors in some scenes. Story seems rushed at times. Some songs fell flat.
Summary: The musical film version of South Pacific (1958) has a lot of history behind it. The film is based on a wildly popular Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical of the same name that was released in 1949 and ran on Broadway for nearly 5 years. ... read more

Pros: Stunning scenery, excellent score, lyrics & script,
Cons: Performances lack chemistry, heart
Summary: I wish I could cheer ABC for putting this classic & excellent musical back on prime-time, but unfortunately this remake fails to capture the heart and romance of the original. South Pacific has one of Richard Roger's most beautiful and evocative scores, ... read more

Pros: Excellent acting, wonderful characterizations. Everything was equally as good as the original
Cons: None.

Pros: Great music
Cons: Not believable, slow, lame acting
Summary: Okay, if you like Rogers and Hammerstein's musicals you will like this movie. However, be prepared to be less than impressed with the rest of the movie.
We've all heard some of the songs. "Some Enchanted Evening" has been recycled ... read more

Pros: The original theatrical release - Five Stars
Cons: The video, with its wild and very distracting color variations, gets only One Star
Summary: In 1958, when I was a little girl of 9, my parents took me to see "South Pacific" at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans. The Saenger was a grand old Egyptian style movie palace, complete with elaborately painted plaster moldings, red velvet ... read more
