If you love South Pacific, you will love this. It is the sound track from the 1958 movie, it would especially appeal to those who enjoy the movie.

How can one review a classic? I suppose by saying, "It's a classic!" There's nothing better than Rodgers & Hammerstein...what geniuses of the American musical. The musical won a Pulitzer...an outstanding soundtrack--and a wonderful motion picture. Bravo!

Uno de los discos mas bellos de los alegres anos de la comedia musical de Hollywood, este fue el primer disco en superar el millon de copias vendidas en el Reino Unido, y con cuanta razon! la hermosa historia de un romance en las islas de polinesia en tiempos de la segunda guerra mundial (los combates de EEUU vrs. japon) y un elenco increible de actores que nos hacen desear estar aunque sea uno minutos frente a los maravillosos paisajes de las Islas del Sur. Una gran obra de Rodgers y Hammerstein, los mismos autores de la galardonada "The Sound Of Music".

My family had this album in the house when I was a kid, so I knew most of these songs by heart when I was about 8 years old. Recently I saw the film on TV, and when I heard "Bali Ha'i", I knew I had to get this CD. This is one of the best soundtracks that I have ever heard, equalled only by, perhaps, "West Side Story". "Bali Ha'i" is my favorite. It works on me like magic, still evoking the mysterious wonder surrounding that "special island". In fact, the movie, with all of its colorful effects, plays in my head when I hear these songs. There are the fun numbers like "Bloody Mary" and "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame". The ballads "Some Enchanted Evening", "Younger Than Springtime" and "This Nearly Was Mine" are all that one could want in a romantic song. And Mitzi Gaynor's big moments - "Cockeyed Optimist", "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy" - are pure joy. She conveys the hopeful naivete' of the 50's to perfection. "Dites-Moi" is a treat for me because, guess what? Je comprends le francais! But you don't have to speak French to appreciate this album. These songs have universal appeal with interesting, recognizable melodies, fun to sing along with. The remastered sound gives the orchestral arrangements (Ah, those soaring strings!) a new clarity that I could not have appreciated when I was much younger. The entire CD sounds fantastic, so if you like this movie, you will love the soundtrack.
