South Pacific 2-Disc Set; Collector's Edition DVDHow could such a terrific Broadway musical turn into such a mediocre 1958 movie? The colored gels used in the cinematography are truly terrible, completely washing out the beautiful Maui scenery where it was filmed. The performances are flat, and why not hire a singer like Howard Keel or Gordon MacRae, instead of Rossano Brazzi whose voice had to be dubbed? Doris Day, who was originally cast to play Nellie Forbush, could have brought this musical to life. When Day left after a major disagreement with director Josh Logan, Shirley Jones would have been a fantastic replacement. I've seen this musical on the stage, and the movie is a major disappointment! ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

South Pacific 2-Disc Set; Collector's Edition DVDThis is the South Pacific for the TV verion I was subjected to last week, not the Rodgers and Hammerstein original. First of all, badly acted, so why not thow in a bunch of swear words, THAT will make it good. 50 something Nellie? Oh God. Throw in that HORRIBLE Blood Mary... lots of sex, oh thanks guys. Typical America. The girls who holds out get the guy and the girl who gives it up sits on the side of the road selling junk nobody wants. Thanks for that dose of reality. Thankfully sleep claimed me an hour and 45 minutes into the show or I may have had to look at that aweful selection for Joe Cable. Hmm., Ameil was OK. The only cute about the entire movie was the two little kids.If Hollywood or whoever claims this remake can't think of new scripts they better get out there and find new writers. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil?

South Pacific 2-Disc Set; Collector's Edition DVDSince there are now two versions, my question is, was anyone really buying Glen Close in this role? Meg Ryan is younger by a long shot and even SHE would be too old to play Nellie. If they were just trying to find work for older actresses, why not let Mitzi Gaynor reprise the role . Tsk, tsk. If you enjoy the story and music, stick with the much superior 1950's version. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

South Pacific 2-Disc Set; Collector's Edition DVD
I would have to say that this rating is for the most recent version. I did like it, but not by much. It's tough to compare, but though it is a little heartwaerming and somewhat tragedic at the end, I would agree that the musical theatre would be better. I do feel some uneasiness as it was a classic and I would expect more romance and some 1950's flavor, but it was not there. I will view both and perhaps see the theatre version to give a definite rating, but I do feel that the past release and the theatre version will beat out this one.
