Review of South Pacific (1958) by Mochizuki S — 17 Dec 2009
I thought I'd hated this musical, based upon watching this lame adaptation of the classic Broadway show. The only worthwhile performances in this entire film are Ray Walston as Luther Billis and Juanita Hall as Bloody Mary.
Don't bother watching, though, or you might be just as turned off as I. Go see a local production instead, or rent/borrow the DVD of the 2006 concert version starring the delightful Reba McEntire, swoon-worthy Brian Stokes Mitchell, and unexpectedly absolutely hilarious and perfectly-cast Alec Baldwin.
