I'm 90 year old Brit. and grew up able to watch all the American and British Musical films during the 50s. This one that I hadn't watched since. It brought back all the words and music. A great film.
הייתי בקולנוע וראיתי את הסרט בנעוריי וכעת
Bless you my brother!I am 73 trying to prepare myself for my last journey;May God be with you on yours and guess I will see you on the other side
A wonderful musical with unforgettable songs, is there anything better than this to watch.
Yes, a dame! 😆

There’s nothing like a dame!!🤣

I love the intro with a blank screen and the full orchestra teasing us with the South Pacific music in full theater sound. Listening with my earphones on reminds me of the day in 1956 when I first attended the showing. I miss great musicals!
This film is a timeless masterpiece. Outstanding songs, brilliant vocals, unbelievable musical arrangements.
love the musicals back then,,, they don't make them like this anymore...
More like nowadays there are barely any musicals at all, and when they are, the marketing tries to hide them.
@@andreabanuelosavila2317 I'm in full agreeance.
Agreed!
@@andreabanuelosavila2317There are still lots of musicals on in the #WestEnd & on #Broadway.
I haven't seen this film for years, I'd almost forgotten how wonderful and magical it was
I grew up in NJ and my parents played records of all the musicals all the time. We all sang all the words. Haven’t seen this in decades. Thank you! 🌸
Met Juanita Hall when I was a little girl. The stage play came to Boston. She joined my parents & me at our table saying, “Is your name Juanita Hall, too” to my mother as her name was Juanita also. When the movie came out, I went many times to see it & sang along with every lovely song. Had a huge crush on John Kerr/Lt. Cable. Happy memories.
Mitzi Gaynor should have received an Oscar for this.
Overshadowed by Susan Hayward's showy performance in I WANT TO LIVE! This whole film was eclipsed by another musical in 1958.....GIGI...
@@maestroclassico5801 Eclipsed? _South Pacific_ was the highest-grossing film of 1958. The soundtrack was also a massive bestseller, topping the charts for 7 months..
@@maestroclassico5801 GIGI won all the Oscars, but which 1958 movie musical is remembered more? I think South Pacific. Certainly the songs.
@@user-rh2io7gm1l Was it really the highest grosser? I'm not doubting you I'm just impressed if that's true. I really thought Gigi cleaned up. And I had the soundtrack album since I was 10 you don't have to convince me (it was frustrating though as the album was abridged a bit).
Gigi was awarded all the Oscars, south Pacific superseded at the box office
The world was such a better place to live in when this magnificent movie was filmed. No computer generated garbage that's prevalent with most films today. Wish I could be magically taken back to this period of time.
My High School did this musical in my Senior Year 1969.So many wonderful memories.Loved this.
Pretty ambitious for high school.
@davidh9638 We had 2 fantastic Drama teachers.They actually had been involved in doing script writing etc back in there day.I am a Thespian.You had to earn that back in the day.In my first year in college to get my fine arts done,I actually played Mary Queen of Scots however this was fun,but I knew my calling very early in life.I am a Retired RN.
Same here but in 1967.
This is the PERFECT musical. Rodgers & Hammerstein's best score ever, as played by Alfred Newman's 20th Century-Fox orchestra with a riveting important story which attacked the racism which, sadly, we are still fighting today.
James Michener 's original book is more racist. The "N" word even got used.
No sound ?
Haven't found any of Alfred Newman's scores I don't like. Particularly am in love with "what if" from the TV version of the ghost & Mrs. Muir
@@shabbymaverick7975 Alfred Newman trivia: he reused his "Hallelujah" theme from the end of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" twice. In "Song of Bernadette" and "The Robe" . The Robe is currently on here for free. Whether he wrote the score or adapted the score like here in South Pacific, it always sounds so authoritative.
@@ceciliawee3043 There's sound all the way through this film....
Thanks for presenting this timeless classic on UA-cam.
What a wonderful revisit 👍 I’m 71 years old 😀😀😀
STUNNING!
Rogers and Hammerstein were the greatest!
I first saw this musical in a theater on the island of Okinawa in 1967. I was the only American in the theater.
I'm curious what the audience thought of it. It seems like it deals with such 1940s American provincial attitudes. Not that the Japanese don't have their own provincial attitudes. I'm just wondering how it translated.
Did they cheer in the wrong parts?
The all time musical hit before the sound of music
I don't know which musical my Pa loved more, South Pacific or My Fair Lady but I suspect it was which ever one he was playing on his Hi-Fi at that moment. This is a sentimental gem.
My Fair Lady. Hands down. This movie was a fiasco with those alarmingly distracting color gels ruining some of the finest music written for the stage.
Thank you, sharing. I'd say that about both my mother and dad, who were lucky to share their love of music with the three of us children... ❤️ 💜 let's forward this minus the adds with friends and family
@@infonut I've read many criticisms of the color photography, but after living in Thailand for 18 months, the so-called weird colors perfectly captured the feel of the heat and humidity and even the smell. I know it isn't possible to smell colors, but the photography in this movie is very evocative for me.
This show ran 4 and half years continuity at the dominion cinema London, I understand this is a record for a movie musical
It was ,my parents saw it in 1958/9 at the Dominion in London,
in fact my father saw it 4 times at this theatre in London alone once on his own, was so impressed by it, took my mother, then took her and her parents to see and finally took my mother and his parents so impressed by it he was,
but this wasn't the version they saw, they saw the European cut, which they say is now lost, it doesn't start like in this version on the beach, but like on the stage opening after the plane ride, on Emile's plantation terrace, they also tell me it contained a lot that has been cut from this version, for example the reprise of 'Some Enchanted Evening', which is hideously cut before the 'Wonderful Guy' sequence. I don't think it contained the longer version of 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man' as per the Soundtrack album but I can be sure about that, but it was a much longer version.
possibly the most beutifull film ever made such music such voices and the actors just perfect it does not get much better than this
It was the #1 box office film in America in 1958. It had not only Rodgers & Hammerstein's best score ever, but R&H's personal attack on the racism of the America of that time which we still fight seven decades later. Yet, the film not only did not even get a nomination for Best Picture, but had to watch from the sidelines as another musical (''Gigi''), a questionable film which has a storyline about a man falling in love with an underage girl won the Best Picture Oscar. Tragic.
Says an awful lot about the mainstream values of the time doesn't it. My fifteen year old daughter has always absolutely loved these old musicals, looking forward to sitting with her later and watching this as she's never seen it and I was probably her age when I last did! 😂
Thanks for posting this wonderful movie. I am going to loop it and play it all night!
I've been looping "American Made" for past eight years, I've even dedicated separate TV set to it. Still great movie this one is. ✌
Always have loved this movie. Could watch over and over ❤️
Fell in love with this at age twelve... eons ago
Wow, what a treat, South Pacific, the full movie, this all time great musical.
I've always loved this film, it gets criticism for the coloured filters, personally i love them
Folks forget there was no C.G.I in those days...This was how fantasy and mystery was achieved....
It did make it feel a little more magical but it would have been interesting to know how the film would have been received without them. Personally it doesn't bother me much either way, the story sucks you in and you shouldn't notice the background.
@@kristenjensen2589there certainly WAS cgi in those days. Disney was experimenting with them. They were just called "special effects".
I think the colour filters are better when seen on the huge Todd ao screen, as it was meant to be seen
I haven’t seen this film in many years. It's more important than I remembered. Thank you for posting it!
This has always been my favorite musical. The score is wonderfully memorable and the story devoid of schmaltz, based on gritty reality in put in a magical setting. The South Seas setting is always a winner and the story is completely compelling. I first saw it a s a boy in my local Odeon cinema and many years later I became a Horn player who enjoyed doing this in pit orchestra a couple of times. very happy memories of a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
What a wonderful film! The people are beautiful and the men are men and the women women. Gorgeous!
"The men are men" shows your intelligence. Most of those sailors were plucked from Muscle Beach in LA. Most of them posed for gay "muscle" mags. Director of the stage and screen Joshua Logan was a nasty queen.
Educate yourself.

"Beautiful" ?
I have noticed a lot of brutes....
@@user-yp2mw2ko9kUnfortunately it appears you are viewing this movie through your generational? prejudices. Consider what life was like during WW11. This is a great movie.
@@metea8271
Firstly, your english is bad.
Secondly, what is my "generational" (you mean "my generation"? How old am I - you got second sight?
Thirdly, did I miss my history lesson - when did WW "11" take place, I have heard only about WW I and WW II so far.
No wonder you like this shitty movie....
A school friend of mine said he was going to watch South Pacific . This was late 50s early sixties . This must have been magical all those years ago on the silver screen in Liverpool. I really got into this . Thank you so much.🙏
perhaps I saw it at the same time.....could it have been at the Regal in Norris Green?...it indeed was magical
Watching this has absolutely made my day! Thank you so much.
It took me back 67 years . how beutiful Iwas a student in Chicago from Greece , the golden Age of America .Thank you .
Same here, I was in my early teens, “in love” with the “wrong” guy ‘til I “grew up” 5 yrs later?! So this film was just so romantic with fantastic music & the new colour effects it made my 💓pitter-patter more. Thinking back on issues in the story it must have also then been a wee bit controversial?! I must have seen the film at least 20 times but still see something new in it each time😊. Fantastic treat from UA-cam, thank you. J C
The colour filters used in south pacific were very controversial the critics hated them, however the public at large loved the movie regardless, it became a box office hit ,in its day
Am a FILIPINO and I've seen this fantasic movie broadway musical when 5:27 I was in my high school days. I was indeed enthralled and rewatched it in movie theaters in all its reruns after I graduated in college!!!
Thank you for another beautiful movie. It's one of my favorites ❤
Do not think of old films as dated. Think of them as a period piece. A slice of life from way back when. Also why I think removing books like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should not be removed from children's libraries. They portray life as it was. And how far we've come. Peace to all.
What a great movie I haven’t seen it for years, but it is still so enchanting and wonderful. They don’t make musicals anymore, this won would be hard to not enjoy still. It’s nice to see something that isn’t full of sex, swearing and all the rest. This film takes you into a world of innocents and joy which we all now need. I love it still after all these years. 😊
This is the very 1st time I watch this wonderful movie. I remember most of these beautiful songs. In fact, in between this comment I’m singing 🎵Younger Than Springtime Are You🎵, in my head. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a great classic movie that shall be around for many years.
One of my personal
favorite musicals since
I was a baby!
Bali Hai will always
remind me of Maui.
It calls to me always
Loved seeing this again, just a fabulous film l first saw when it came out. I remember being madly keen on John Kerr, although l was only about 8! ❤❤
I was madly in love with John Kerr from 1959 when the movie came out until he died. Only then did it go away.
Wondeful to see this classic for free on UA-cam.
The movie makers wanted to cut out "You've Got to Be Taught". Rogers and Hammerstein insisted it be included. IMHO, it's essential to the story.
Indeed. The "movie makers" over the years have watered down many a movie by cutting out essential material because they feel threatened by it.
Watched this many years ago, and still love it.
Thank you for this wonderful movie.
Classic songs and great performers.
Love it❤
At 77 now, this movie made me the civil rights activist I’ve been all my life. Thank you Oscar Hammerstein!!!
WONDERFUL AND FREE, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, THE MUSIC JUST THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, THANK YOU GREAT PRINT, COLOUR AND EVERYTHING.
THANKS FOR POSTING IT! GREAT MOVIE!
I used to watch this often at my grandmas house. Such memories, the songs are fantastic and will stay with me forever. Thanks for posting 💚
This is the first movie I was able to rent when I bought my very first VCR in the early 80s, I was born in 55’ and I couldn’t watch until modern technology caught up,,,,one of my favorite movies…….
i grew up listening to the record my mother had of south pacific i have always loved the musical.
Saw this with my parents growing up. Some of the tunes remained with me through my 65 years. Glad to see this again at 70😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I am 61 years old and this is my first time seeing this. I knew some of the songs, and now I know where they fit. I loved it.
I think my favorite musical of all time! ❤
Black screen( ouverture 3:36 min.) After this the movie/ musical starts !!! My mom loved musicals, and now i’m 67years i understand her for this love !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊 L.M.
Ever since I saw this movie, it has been my favorite all-time, musical ever!
I love the whole gay chorus of seabees singing about dames!!!
sure they love gay fans who enjoy their gay chorus singing about dames. Makes for everyone having a gay time.
@@waldolydecker8118 I seriously doubt that a modern chorus of gay chorus boys (or any other kind for that matter) would be capable of pulling off those vocals. Body mics and overamplification notwithstanding. Yet another reason I cherish the movie musicals of the post war period.
What a wonderful movie ❤. I absolutely loved it ❤. If ONLY these types of movies would come back again, the world would be a better place!! Thank you so much for sharing this 💕🙏🙏
I have never seen this musical even though I've known about it as far back as I can remember. It ALSO reminds me of way back when only the BEST of movies had an intermission. Refill your drink and popcorn or whatever.. and get back when you heard the theme music. Great memories of movie theaters past.
this type of musical marked an era gone by, when actors songs were dubbed by professional singers, and cinema was experimenting with colour , music never ceases and that is joyful.
How often I have danced at night down my green lanes at Fame Oklahoma to the beautiful music of this move . thank you so much♥️
Roadshow version, with Intermission, and pre-show overture. Perfect.
A Masterpiece !
I remember holidaying in Kauai and got very sunburnt. So decided to spend the day indoors. Ended up watching South Pacific while gazing out at the jetty that was built specifically for South Pacific. The irony was not lost on me.❤️
What a wonderful experience and memory!
I was at Poi Pu beach......was it there??
While styles may have changed, the exquisite artistry of the music lives on from two giants of the craft Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein, coupled with the talent of Mitzi Gaynor.
The gentle way racism is tackled influenced a generation too and opened the eyes of many. A timeless beautiful and classic musical from a golden age of the genre.
Fabulous script, cast, music, story - Wonderful!🥰
Oh thank you so much! One of my favorite movies of all time!!!!
lovely music!!!
And the cast is commendable esp. the leads ROSSANNO BRAZZI AND MITZI GAYNOR. I love the voice of dame MITZI GAYNOR. The soundtrack is worth listening to esp. the lovetunes "SOME ENCHANTED EVENING" and "YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME"!!!
Many musical movies I viewed again and again. This is my best.
Such a magical film, l had almost forgotten the story line, wonderful, fabulous songs, and orchestra, loved every minute
This is a great restoration of the original film in sound and picture. I am not a fan of the colour filters, they’re not subtle but the score, the lyrics, the book, the production values, the casting, all are amazing.
I'm not a fan of the color filters either.
This is the Blu-Ray restoration of the film when it was released in 2010
A great movie beautiful scenery and 2 great love stories
Excelente película con su música y sus actuaciones, gracias.
This is the first time I ever watched this movie. Very beautiful indeed! ❤
They just don't write them like this anymore. Fantastic in everyday.
Youngsters probably wouldn’t recognise the structure of old musicals like these. You’d sit in your seats, lights would dim, you’d shut up chatting and the musical overture would play giving sound bites of the songs to come. Similar with the half time. Miss those times.
first time i was exposed to a tropical paradise. when i grew oldeer i collected antiques to remind me of this life. now im rrtired in southern mexico on the oaxacan pacific coast with palm trrees mangoes and bananas in my yard.
I am so happy to be able to watch this in such good quality!
This film always brings back memories when i was young good movie xx
What memories! I sang Emile DeBeque at university of Maryland in , I think, 1960, and later did the role of the lieutenant in summer stock in Beverly and Cohasset, Mass. From Rogers and HMmerstein to gangsta rap, what a devolution in our American musical culture.
Beverly and Cohasset? You must have been at the North Shore Music Theatre and the South Shore Music Circus, both theaters in the round. And both are still operating.
That's interesting as they are written for different vocal ranges. Aren't they?
EXCELLENT! Thank you tor the upload...And Thank you to UA-cam for allowing it...
Aside from all the other reasons to watch this wonderful movie, if you're interested in seeing what the Hawaiian island of Kauai looked like before it was built up for tourism, go to 38.15. It's just beautiful. Today, a gigantic hotel sits on that stop, and access is somewhat restricted by public barriers and iron horses, and cars parked all over the road.
They don’t make them like they used to do …… film with the feel good factor ♥️
Wonderful film. Thank you and God bless all veterans. All. Dancin, drinkin, everythinggggggg. Lol.
Amen!! 🙏🏻
Once they’re out, all I want to do is assist, adore, empower, restore and help Military Vets HEAL on the Med Beds. 😍🇺🇸🇺🇸😍
How handsome and beautiful those actors really were!
what a film, but it must be mentioned that the music was by that wonderful alfred newman with vocals by ken darby which set the atmosphere just right to evoke the momentum of the movie. never been surpassed.
Ummm...... music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
@@spikespa5208~ There’s an earlier reference to them being the 20th Century Fox orchestra. Lots of talent all the way around.🎶
@@spikespa5208Newman and Darby Adapted the music and supervised the orchestrations and Newman conducted the amazing 20th Century Fox Orchestra while Darby directed the Chorus.
So relaxing to watch a good movie.
I do like the classic 1958 film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific and I have got it on DVD & Blu-Ray complete with 0:01 Overture 1:36:41 Intermission 1:36:52 Entr'Acte and 2:35:42 Exit Music
Thanks for preserving this film here for all to enjoy again and again
"This Nearly Was Mine" leaves me in a little puddle - every damn time.
Made an old moffie in jozi happy. Thank you.
Magical! Bringing just one of many happy outcomes at least from WW2.
Beautiful melodies.. I loved it all over again.. My mum had the LP & the sheet music for the piano. 🏝
This so much better than the crap Hollywood creates today.
Notice to younger generations....
This film is about bigotry.
What it looks like.
And what it takes to heal or stop it.
Love this musical I've watched so many times but I thing som e of songs were best of that era in musicals
“Of course we can’t guarantee him a better world if we win. Point is, we can be sure it will be worse if we lose, can’t we?”
Beautiful music.
The extended version is much better, filling in several gaps in the storyline. Great movie in any case.
"They've Got to be Carefully Taught" - some things never change. 😪😪
It’s just human nature. 🤷♀️
@@HeatherRose2023 that is an oversimplification and an excuse for the inexcusable. A shrug emoji and an "oh well what can you do" is pathetic.
@@laureliechapman1267
It’s the truth, though. As soon as you accept that, you can work on changing it. Until then, it is futile to try. You’ll just be kicking at air.
This is an ancient Classic movie since my days in school in Hong Kong (1956-65). This is the first time I viewed South Pacific with much admiration. The only problem is my hearing (at a near 80) of which I couldn't hear their songs. The subtitle is good. MANY THANKS!
