Movie Review: Get Over Mary Martin Already
Summary: 5 Stars
Mary Martin is overrated, over acts, and is not remotely as pretty as Mitzi Gaynor. Mitzi Gaynor gave a wonderful performance, and that's a simple fact. I was totally engaged in Rossano Brazzi as the widowed plantation owner finding a second chance at love. I am still surprised at how many of the male actors in minor roles went on to have successful careers, but I did not see the same weight of subsequently successful female actors. The music is flawless. I agree the filters are distracting, but that is not reason enough for anyone to deny themselves the pleasure of this musical. I cried at the end when I was eight and cried again this morning at 56. The messages of bigotry not being natural but taught and the cruelty of war, especially because we do it to ourselves, are lessons we just can't seem to learn. Movie Review: a disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
Two stars for the music....they didn't hurt the music. Minus 3 stars for messing with the color, bigtime...whose idea was it to add the colored-lens-look on and off thoroughout the movie? Wish I hadn't bought this one.Movie Review: A True Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
If there was ever a movie to put the South Pacific in your soul this is it!one of Rogers&Hammerstein's best. Great music,fun entertainment and two good love stories.This is a must for anyone that loves good down to earth music and fun.Movie Review: people are too criticle
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched the film and listened to the commentary on the disc that holds the "road show" version of the film. I don't know what all the fuss is about. The movie is one of the most beautifully filmed I have ever seen and the sound is perfect, not the mention the perfection of the music itself. Stop talking about the color filters and look beyond it to enjoy the movie itself. I did not agree with the gentleman's assessment of Mary Martin's performance being superior to Mitzi Gaynor, who I found to be great in the film. Did you see the clip of Mary Martin? Good grief! Other than that, I found the commentary to be very interesting. The extras were wonderful as well, especially the 60 Minutes interview. I was a little disappointed that the "Making of" documentary was not new. Still, the film has so many great messages and is beautiful to watch and I am now a big fan of Mitzi Gaynor!Movie Review: A Hundred and One Pounds of Fun.................
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up watching the Saturday night movie musicals on our local PBS station. One of my all time favorites was and still is South Pacific.
Mitzi Gaynor shines as Nellie Forbush. She puts her heart and soul into the performance. I especially like the number "Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair." Rossano Brazzi is excellant as Emele DeBeck, the plantation owner who wins Nellie's heart. Juanita Hall is a gem as Bloody Mary. Her rendition of "Bali Ha'i" still sends goosebumps down my spine. Ray Walston provides the needed comic relief through the sailor, Luther Billis. The location footage which was filmed in Hawaii is breathtaking while the musical score from Rogers and Hammerstein is brilliant.
This is one movie musical you will want to watch again and again.
