Music from Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific - Some Enchanted Evening, There is Nothing Likea Dame and More,
I am an old man (85 years in fact) and I saw this movie when it was first released. Since then I have had VHS tapes of it, then Discs, and for the past twenty or so years I have watched it on a PC. Heaven knows how many times I have seen this film, and I never tire of playing it. One of the finest musicals ever made, and as a personal opinion, in all that time I have never seen a more beautiful lady than Mitzi Gaynor. She never got the recognition that she deserved.
Well probably it's the only musical based on a Pullitzer-prize winning novel.
Wow may you live long with health sir!! We acted this at a school play
I played Rossano Brazzi. On stage at Christ the King Academy Gingoog city
@@yananicole9310 How wonderful for you to have been able to play such an iconic role, I am betting that you were the envy of all the men in your city. By the way, is that city the Gingoon City in The Philippines, I lived in Thorpe Park Manilla for almost four years. I have such beautiful memories of those times. Good Luck for your future.
Yes indeed. I too watched it when it was released. Though you have seniority on me by five years. I watched it on a screen called Todd AO. Cinema scope.
I married an Island Girl. 43 wonderful years together. This clip brought a bit of her back to me. Thanks for that.
I don't care how old this film is, it's better than films they make today
Yes!
Agreed Les. That is because we used to have film STARS, now we have these people who have the personality and charm of a stick of celery, and they pay them millions.
@@terrywright7470 Yes Terry spot on there are few stars today,back to the Golden Days of Hollywood there were too many to name
In kindergarten we were supposed to sing a song. Most of the kids did Mary Had a Little Lamb or something similar. I sang There is Nothing Like a Dame. Mrs Aanderson thought it was hysterical and called my mother to tell her all of my classmates were totally confused. I was lucky my kindergarten teacher was cool. I can imagine some teachers would have punished me for being inappropriate.
you are absoulutely very sweet
One of the best musical
Fiĺms ever
Thank you so much for sharing.
Am 78 now, however this took me back to my youth. There was a time I could sing these, now I hum and still feel alive and happy.
They don't write shows like this anymore. Every song is a classic and the story pierces your heart.
Attack on titan is better by miles
Now we just say people are racist.
Clearly, you're not paying attention...
Our lives, this world,, traveling through space ................ at 66,000 plus mph ................ is well worth writing music about .......................~!~
They still write showtunes my guy. I promise Broadway musicals didn't go anywhere
Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals are the best. I love all of them. Whether on Broadway or film, they are classics. South Pacific was more spectacular in movie form due to the Islands and water scenes. The setting for the movie could not be beat. If you want to experience the wonderful songs and music, I think the best South Pacific was the concert version at Carnegie Hall with Brian Stokes Mitchell and Reba McIntyre in the lead roles. You can see it free on You Tube. They should do a movie remake with them before Brian Stokes Mitchell gets too old.
Clap. clap. clap. I can watch Rodgers and Hammerstein musicales over and over again.
My favorite musical. Takes us back to my father's generation. He was stationed in the South Pacific. Gorgeous songs, scenery, and characters. Evokes the longing of the men who were so homesick. Lt. Cable is a dreamboat. Mitzi Gaynor is terrific especially in "I Am as Corny as Kansas in August" as she dances on the beach. Lush and lovely all through. French song "Dites Moi" beautiful.
Hi it's my favorite musical movie , I didn't mind the color filters during the musical numbers the critics hated them, t thought it added to film atmosphere and its very spectacular on a Todd ao theater screen
John Kerr as “ Lt. Cable” needed to be more masculine, muscular, buff. When stripped down to his briefs he looked about 12. Not exactly the image of American manhood that would cause a beautiful Tokinese girl to surrender her virginity. Since he didn’t do his own singing a better more appealing actor should have been used.
I cannot believe that someone as talented as Mitzi Gaynor was not amongst the top leading ladies of her era, Not only was she very beautiful, she was also a really great singer and dancer.
This brings back so many memories. My mom and dad used to sing these songs so long ago. Dad is gone. Mom would still appreciate this.
I know all the words of South Pacific too! I just love all these old musicals!
Watched this with my Father & Mother in the late 60's superb.I was so impressed by the Marine I joined.
Damn! Would you have joined a convent if you had seen THE SOUND OF MUSIC??😂
I laugh every time I hear “We Ain’t Got Dames.” Every word is hilarious. Whoever wrote the lyrics had to be a WWII veteran who had been on a remote island just as the lyrics indicate. No one else could have written something so perfectly.
The lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein, ll. He was busy writing other lyrics for Oklahoma, Carousel, and so many others. Oklahoma debuted on Broadway on March 31,1943. He was born in 1895 but there is no mention of him being in either WWl or WWll in any biographical article.
@@paulhicks6667 my late father was a combat veteran of the Pacific War. He went through hell yet loved “South Pacific.” His generation loved that movie. It was written for the veterans and their wives.
I’m 33. My grandpa gifted my mom a VHS collection of classic musicals like this one, and I use to watch them all the time when I little. South Pacific is still one of my favorites.
MY FAVOURITE MUSICAL OF ALL TIME , LOVE IT TO TINY PIECES ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this timeless classic. My father who recently passed away loved this musical and Mitzi Gaynor. I miss him terribly.
Juanita Hall did a great job in the movie, i've seen the musical on stage several times and she is the greatest Bloody Mary i've seen, there was a pbs version in 2009 which i see only on youtube as i missed seeing it on t.v., there is no dvd of this pbs version from Lincoln Centre, the singers all do their own singing unlike in this movie version. i still love the movie version the best dubbed singing and all!
The Direction wasn't adequate for the Lincoln Centre reading. Reba McIntyre should have been given the instruction to play Nellie as a 19 year od girl who has left home for the first time and whose only guidance as to how to lead a good life is to please her parents expectations. Reba played Nellie as a bit of a smart aleck. Nellie was not ready to be a smart aleck yet.
There is a DVD and CD from the Carnegie Hall production with Reba McIntire and Brian Stokes Mitchell. I remember the ‘09 revival with Kelli O’Hara and Paulo Szot that was broadcast on PBS. Matthew Morrison had left the show and his replacement was not as good an actor, singer or had the body when stripped down. Any island girl would want him to be the ‘first’. I don’t know why PBS can’t release both SOUTH PACIFIC and THE KING AND I (ok, it was broadcast from the London Palladium) on DVD to buy; they were great to watch.
Original lyric in first song "Bloody Mary is the Girl I Love" was "DiMaggio's glove," not "a baseball glove."
South pacific and Mary Poppins two of the greatest musicals ever...for me anyway 🥰
This is one of my favorite movies. I love most musicals.
thanks for the lovely memories..i think "South Pacific" capped everything that R+H did...i wonder how many sailors from Aus/Nz/US/UK knew that a little island off Singapore called Pulau Tiioman was the stage setting for this lovely movie...we were there about 1965 with our flagship.. only jungle then and a ww2 landing strip
I love this movie and the songs
One of my favourite movies ever!!!!!! Cable
OMG!!! I watched this on my Dad's vhs tape everyday for the whole summer and 40 years later, I still memorized the lyrics!
The classic is timeless and at same time takes me back to wonderful days of hearing the album on the Hi-Fi with my parents on a Sunday afternoon.
I only like three musicals because they stand out so far above all the rest in the story, songs, and charachters; South Pacific, Paint Your Wagon, Fidler On The Roof.
This rendition of Some Enchanted Evening is absolutely the best! The manly voice and lyrics capture the true feeling a real man has for the excitement of meeting a woman he loves. The willowy, gender equivalent voices of 'male' singers today can't match this and are often compromised by the immaturity of vulgar language.
This movie is a classic because it has 'class' our American society lost.
Race relations and bigotry was a common theme for Rogers & Hammerstein. Listen to the music and lyrics from Showboat as an example.
It's about issues much broader than race issues.
Richard Rodgers DID NOT compose the music for SHOW BOAT; that was Jerome Kern.
My late mother played these songs for days while she painted the living room. I was only five.
A musical with great songs that talked about racism and wasn't afraid to confront xenophobia; unlike today's musicals which are dumbed down pieces of crap with nothing to say! I looked what was on the Leeds Playhouse "Menopause the musical " . Need I say more.
John Kerr passed away last month on Feb. 2nd at 81 R.I.P. James Stacy unfortunately is living but has had problems and spent time in prison for indecent assault on a girl, he would've got off if he didn't have previous arrests for the same problem, so spent about 6 yrs., living in Cali now and retired from acting, who would hire him after what he's done?!
Weinstein!
This should have included "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair"? It's the only one my mother could sing, although she tried singing "Some enchanted evening". Also you should have included "Honey Bun", where "Nellie" plays a sailor with a big muscular "girlfriend".
South Pacific was the First Todd-AO 5 Perf 65 mm Motion Picture shot at 24 Fps. Originally, Todd-AO called for 30 Fps, but was quickly switched down to the Hollywood standard sound speed of 24fps so 35 mm prints could also be struc from the 65mm master duping negatives for traditional theatrical distribution. Todd-AO was a Prestige Big Screen 70 MM format which Panavision copied (Super Panavision 70 and Ultra Panavision 70, first named MGM Camera 65). Academy Award Winning Cinematographer Leon Shamroy was nearly fired from the production for using specialized trick glass Tiffen Filters which he inserted during the transition of dialogue to singing sequences to give the film a dreamy, other worldly look. However, Mr. Shamroy did not tell the colour timers down at Technicolour Labs in Hollywood, who were processing the dailies, and they complained to the studio head of 20th Century Fox, Daryl F. Zanuck, that the film is ruined and they must fire the production's D.O.P. at once !
You are absolutely right! People don't understand anything about the
composer. That he and his wife adopted two Chinese orphans at a time NO ONE adopted children who were not white. He was a great believer in HUMAN rights and anti racists. Thanks for posting your comment.
참나
It’s hard to believe that race is still an issue. When I heard this as a child, I thought that kind of thinking was ancient history.
People today have no understanding of those times..or appreciation for them. They've been "carefully taught" that America is a racist ciuntry
Richard Rodgers was a talented composer but limited as a human being as was his wife. They had two daughters of their own BUT NEVER ADOPTED ANY ASIAN CHILDREN. And neither did Oscar Hammerstein II. Who are you thinking of??
John Kerr lives in south Cali, he's retired and lives with his 2nd wife and has grandchildren, he turned 80 last year; Mitzi looks very good and still does a cabaret show, France Nuyen is living, about 2 yrs ago these actors got together in L.A. for an anniversary for "South Pacific".
My favorite musical of all time !! Thank you SO MUCH for posting these wonderful scenes and songs !!
Mine too.
I agree. Such a beautiful story. The music is unforgettable.
The same here....beautiful memories!
Well written, inspired music
I think this video shows the highlights of the movie which is mostly the wonderful music, I do have the dvd of the movie but this video is great.
Exactly right. An article in Theater Journal describes how Rogers and Hammerstein, who wrote all the music in South Pacific, resisted considerable political pressure to cut the song "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" from the play. According to James Michener, who wrote the book the play was based on, "The authors replied stubbornly that this number represented why they had wanted to do this play, and that even if it meant the failure of the production, it was going to stay in."
Amen!
God bless their integrity and their brilliance. Both make them immortal.
We need this teaching for today's generation!!
This show is so apt for today! Wish it would be shown in theaters with a lot of publicity beforehand.
@SpudIllusionPictures
You're welcome. I'm glad you found this video useful. Regards.
My favourite musical film. Such beautiful people and voices.
“We ain’t got Dame’s” !!! We have nothing to put a clean white suit on for 😝
Great movie, how many people do know that south pacific movie ran continually for 4 and half years in dominion cinema London early 1960s ,its run has never been surpassed to this day
The critics at the time hated the color filters effect during the musical numbers, but I thought it added to the atmosphere of the movie, look better on a huge Todd ao screen
I do my godfather and gran took me. I was 11 or so.
Beautiful. Thank you.
I went to visit friends on Maui. On the way back I flew to Kauai to walk on Haena beach where many of the beach scenes were filmed.
The other dubbed bass in this movie is the also great Giorgio Tozzi. He was a Met opera star at the time. He was called 'Mr. Legato' by opera fans the world over. He was particularly good in Puccini and Mozart. While a true bass his voice was about a major third higher than Ravenscroft's.
Who the hell is “Ravenscroft”? Also, Tozzi did a revival with Mary Martin at the Los Angeles Light Opera in ‘58 and at Lincoln Center in ‘67 with Florence Henderson which was recorded and has been released on Sony.
The best lesson to teach our offspring: no prejudice. You have to be carefully taught.
I learned about this musical trough the Kiri Te Kanawa/Jose Carreras take. Albeit that one has much better singing, this has so much more heart and soul.
Rudolf Trost: ARE YOU TONE DEAF?? IGNORANT OF TRUE MUSIC, INTERPRETATION AND STYLE?? Listen to the original cast with Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza; never been bettered, never will!!
@@johnpickford4222 No. Not tone deaf, so no need for shouting. I am well aware of the original and I am a big fan, but Dame Kiri and Carreras do the song equally right. As stated, I first became aware of their take on the music of South Pacific- and still consider it worthy. My message somehow got lst in your angry reply: You have to be carefully taught!
Thanks for posting! This brings back so many fond memories of my brother who had influenced me to love these musicals.
Such a beautiful musical, thank you for posting!!
I am 73-years old. Loved this movie when I was young, but now even more; as I understand more of what was really happened in American wars. Also, love the talented actors and actresses. And, Roger’s and Hammerstein brought out the best of talent. Their voices are so plainly heard, unlike movies of today.
I talked about the meaning of and quoted "Carefully Taught" lyrics in college classes for 10 years in the '70s. Not sure how much my students absorbed or understood. Great lyrics, laying out in an ironic way important concepts for bigots. Classic musical and film.
Hanalei Bay. Possibly the most beautiful place in the world. Been there many times.
Was there for a long week in June, 2015, and there was a wedding (and wedding photography) on the beach every night. Wonderful. 🥰
I enjoyed this musical.....2 of us back in the 60s that enjoyed musicals would poke fun at our work mates by telling them IF they could name the the musical where the song " there is nothing like a dame " came from we'd give them 10$....they couldn't. 😊😊😊they were stuck on rock & roll...😉🙃😉🙃....those were the days my friends...
The greatest musical production ever that has it all...singing, dancing, and a theme that the world needs to heed and learn from. I never tire of hearing the songs and I fell in love with Ms. France Nguyen (Liat) from the 1st time I ever saw the film. She was a wonderful actress who went on to be a spokeswoman for Asian actors in Hollywood; she was married at one time to Robert Culp and had many other roles including in the Star Trek series and The Joy Luck Club. 'Liat', you're loved forever!
@johnlpowell Mr. Giorgio Tlozzi. the distinguished operatic bass singer did the singing. He died just ago on May 30, 2011. Thank you for watching.
Mom Used to sing these songs. Love this.
We did this musical when I was in Highschool.... I played in the band.
For me this represents my parents the greatest. Generation ever they made this world everything it is after ww2. Thanx for your service and I'm sorry I helped screw it all up by being a 60s 70 brat.
The world so saddens me today, the music, the movies, the kids work ethic; I could go on and on, but it would be pointless, as I'm sure you get my picture. What in the world happened to morals and ethics?
@@vickiekermoyan4311 They were removed from public schools.
You are right, and back in the 40's and 50's films - mostly B/W where released every month and people would flock to the cinema to see them.
@@vickiekermoyan4311
60s kids developed the notion that R&H was so lame and uncool.
Thanks 🤗❤️
most of it on the northshore of Kaua'i, Hanalei & Lumahai Beach, & underwater scene in "Happy Talk" in Hollywood & some interior scenes, too. the north shore of Kaua'i get a lot of rain tho' it's v. beautiful, John Kerr in an interview said it was difficult shooting around the weather & not much time for doing takes over again as is usually done. a beautiful film nonetheless!!!
Stew Pot is dubbed by the great Thurl Ravenscroft. He was probably the best novelty bass of all time. You may remember him as Tony The Tiger.
My parents had the vynil sound track. I have the dvd somewhere in my collection im supposed to be building of Hollywood's musicals. Im 58 n luv these. So timeless. Evergreen charisma. ❤❤❤❤
Rest In Peace, Oscar Hammerstein.
Mitzi was so talented
And SOOOO beautiful too.
Ray Walston! My favourite Martian.
The strong, vivid colors is what I remember most from my sister's unending viewing of this movie. The strong primary colors during certain sequences really stuck with me more than the songs or anything else. I do remember one sequence in a very strong red but I don't see it here.
Many movie critics disliked the over use of the color filters to evoke a certain mood.
Utterly perfect
Huge credit to the late James A Michener. Never forget the treasure that he was.
Brazil was wrong...they should have taken a singer...good look is not enough
I love these old musicals. R & H were truly great composers.
Hi! I've never seen South Pacific, but my orchestra is playing the suite from South Pacific and The King And I, and it's nice to be able to recognize the music...
Thx!
1958 original is priceless.Best version yet
Iam 63 and this is still a great one
Classic fantastic morals men when there were men and woman well woman great songs we need more this
My parents played the record of Ezio Pinza and Mary Martin’s Broadway version just after World War II in our log cabin in the Wyoming Mountains. Both are exquisitely done.🙋🏼♀️🏔💞🌠
Now that is impressive. Live in semirural Maine. Music is everywhere and transcendent.
Thank you for this. Brought back many memories. I played Bloody Mary in a college production back in 1982. I was telling my youngest son about it and came to look for the songs.
The actor who played Stew Pot in the musical sequence "There Is Nothing Like a Dame"was the late American actor Kenneth Donovan "Ken" Clark. He was dubbed by the late American actor/singer Thurl Ravenscroft, known for his deep voice.
Thank you for watching,
Thurl Ravenscroft was the voice of Tony the Tiger in the cereal commercials. Thurl sang the songs in the Dr. Seuss "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" cartoon from the 1960s. He was also the narrator for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney.
Mostly in the Hawaiian Islands and a large portion on Kauai (the Garden Island) of Hawaii ~ ~ ~ ~
Beautiful Video!!!! Well done!!!!!
Rodgers & Hammerstein's best work, for my money. Great clips, but I missed "Younger than Springtime."
It's there in the song list.
The Coen Brothers have in their movie "Hail Caesar" made an allusion to Nothing like a Dame in the sailor's ballet. It brings back souvenirs of my youth; at the time in Paris I went to see all the Broadway musicals adaptations, I remember that in the cinema where South Pacific was presented on the champs Elysées, which was the only theater equipped for showing Todd-AO shot movies, there must have been less than a 100 spectators. At that time French movie goers did not like american musicals but for a few of them. Today one of Paris Theater manager gives every year a revival of one of the great Broadway's. And the performance is sold out every evening for 2 or 3 months.Tomorrow opens Guys and Dolls. They're all performed in English and by generally American or British actors.
As a boy, Dad and Mom loved this show. My brothers and I never knew it a musical , it was an annual movie and we had the soundtrack. We memorized bits, especially songs it like the Musicman or Yankee Doodle Dandy, showboat were movies. Had no idea we had been indoctrinated into wonderful music
You were indoctrinated into Richard Rodgers, Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein, Alan Jay Lerner, Fredrick Lowe, and Meredith Willson.
cockeyed optimist means something entirely different these days lol..
Charlotte’s Web: And what exactly does it mean?
Love this . I have seen this on stage & of course on the screen . In a local production as a nurse . So fun!! ❤❤
Dear 10 skylark - Who cares? It's the music that matters, not your helicopter tour or your hotel.
I have seen both stage and movie version. Neither refers to the deceased Polynesian wife by name, just "the wife".
Romi M. Panlilio: Well so do a lot of men around the world and sometimes worse!

Our lives, this world,, traveling through space ................ at 66,000 plus mph ................ is well worth writing music about .......................~!~
I do like the idea of having a good musical.
This film is older than me yet I enjoy listening to the wonderful compositions of Rodger & Hammerstein. I also liked that the film was revived, bringing out the freshness of the island scenery.
A brilliant film,always brings a tear to my eyes
Please add title of song to title of the video. Otherwise this video is perfect.
I hope director Michael Bay is kept far, far away from this musical or anything that has Rodgers and Hammerstein written all over it.
This movie made a big impact as a biracial child from a failed interracial marriage which caused family disowning & alienation. I now have questions.
Thank you sooo much! I grew up listening to the original LP which my mother recently threw out along with the entire R&H collection my father gave her while they were dating and seeing the shows on Broadway. :(
How terrible to throw away so many memories.
Stew Pots part was sung by Thurl Ravenscroft. Aka Tony The Tiger GREAT.
Not giving the whole story away. But that last scene should make you cry. He comes back from a mission. Young Cabel does not. 😢
The guy that sings, "We feel restless, we feel blue" looks just like JFK
@Kralice4u You're welcome! It is a great musical. Many songs from this play have become popular standards. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for this Romi. This was my late father’s favorite and it brings back childhood memories.
the set decorator on the film was commissioned to design a hotel on that property then it was turned into a different hotel when i went, as far as i know it is a hotel on that property as i went last year, but if you went 2 wks. ago, i guess it must've been bought by a wealthy person, the view is incredibly beautiful when i first went on that property when it was a hotel many years ago. the location scout did a great job choosing Kaua'i's north shore for the film!
