South Pacific (1958) ***

Rogers and Hammerstein's musical about a French plantator wooing an American army nurse during World War II. Unfortunate experiments with color filters weaken the visual impact of this film, but the musical score more than compensates for those shortcomings. Songs:

"Bloody Mary"
"There Is Nothing Like A Dame" *
"Bali Ha'i" **
"A Cockeyed Optimist" **
"Twin Soliloquies" *
"Some Enchanted Evening" *
"Dites-Moi"
