South Pacific

[burlyshirley]

Watched this lovely film on BBC today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I sang along and laughed and cried - what a great film. Anybody else watch it ?

Evening BS, I’ve been kinda busy and never had the TV on today , was one of those days where I done loads but it didn’t feel that way :0(
I loved Rossano Brazzi

There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by putting him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame

Yes I did. Loved it.

'I'm Gonna wash that man right out of my hair'. I was actually dancing around the room, you should have seen my dog's face !! Joe Cable was so sexy. I could watch it all over again ...

The BEST version of South Pacific (or, at least, part of it!)

Yes I remember that Buen. It was excellent, like everything M & W ever did. Nothing tops the original film for me though. I've also seen a stage version which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Saw South Pacific in 1958. My dad took me and I loved every minute of it.

Can't see the point of musicals films

Watched it as well it is a great musical, uplifting, nice to have something to watch instead of all the afternoon repeats.

One of the few musicals I loved. First saw it in the cinema with my Mum. I was 11. Wonderful music. An absolutely beautiful film.

I like a good musical and South Pacific is one of them!
Didn't watch it tho.

The best ones are of a certain age, Calamity Jane is another cracker.

...and White Christmas was on yesterday (sniff sniff)

[Toorak]

I watched it and enjoyed it - I can’t remember when I last saw it (a LONG time ago) but it stood the test of time

I watched Carousel (for the first time) before it and thought it was pants :-(

The only film-musical I like is the 1962 production of The Music Man starring Robert Preston.

i did watch it, lovely film with a fine musical score, Some Enchanted Evening has to be in the top ten of my musical songs.

[emmie]

i thought that was Rossano Brazzi voice, but sadly it wasn't, the musical songs were dubbed.

My mum loved it - one for the ladies I think.
