Well this is the cinematic version of the legendary Broadway musical. Mary Martin is gone and in her place the lighterweight Mitzi Gaynor (not singing her own songs either). Likewise Rossano Brazzi is no Enzio Pinza. But that aside it is a pretty neat movie and if you have Oklahoma and the Sound of Music, shouldn't you have this Rodgers and Hammerstein musical too? The cinematic treatment sometimes takes away from the action and story, especially with the colored lenses which overlay the scenes whenever there is a song; guess the 50s crowd loved it? This is movie is dated but nonetheless is interesting and charming in its own way BECAUSE it is dated. Here's a look back into our own past.
Charming Rogers and Hammerstein epic about life on a small Pacific island at the beginning of WW-II for SeeBees, Marines and civilian planters. Love emerges victorious in this wonderfully scored production. Gaynor is great, Brazzi is a fine actor, but is voice-dubbed. Worth seeing this delightful classic musical.
This was the perfect gift for my elderly aunt. She is comfortable with her VCR and learning to use new machines frustrates her. It is difficult to find quality VHS films, and this is exactly what I wanted for her.
this was the most outstanding musical of its time and included more memorable songs than any since!!!
I bought it for a nursing home. thats about the right age for that movie. It was in good shape considering its age.
