History has always been something very special to me, and historical musicals....let's just say that Rodgers and Hammerstein are my heroes. I love this song. Every time I hear it, I imagine my future husband singing it to me. That's what I hope will happen at least(;
I saw the Na Pali coast on the north side of Kauai, Hawaii, which was the shooting locale, including the place where Mitzi Gaynor "washed that man right out of her hair". Other scenes were filmed in the Balearic iaslands.
I went to see this with my mother when I was about 11 or 12. When we got home my dad wanted to know what I thought of it and I'm sorry to say that at the time I was more amused by Luther Billis than interested in the love stories. I think that this film meant something to my parents that I didn't realise at the time. One of my favourite films.
I saw this film with my dear Mum at the Odeon in Leicester Square in 1959 when i was 15yrs old. This beautiful song always brings a tear to my eye. Thankyou for the memory ....
This movie means something special to me, it was one of the first movies I saw in the theater when I was about 5 years old! My oldest brother who was almost 11, took me with him one Saturday afternoon, when they used to play Bugs Bunny cartoons between movies on the double-feature Saturdays! I was "enchanted" myself, even at only 5 years old! I get teary eyed now because my brother passed recently, and this movie is so beautiful, and heartwarming, we need this kind of REALITY movie nowadays
Studio vocalist BILL LEE, who also provided the singing voice for Christopher Plummer in "Sound of Music" did the singing voice for actor John Kerr in this movie. The real shame about these Musicals is that the real singers used almost never, ever, received a screen credit for doing the singing voices. In almost every major musical filmed, voice dubbing was a common occurrence, and the studio vocalist SHOULD have been given proper credit due them.
This movie has always touched a chord in me- i saw it with my family at a drive in on first run- my parents met in Austrailia during the war- I could feel their emotions move with the film, and we had the soundtrack for years afterwards- I love every song-
mom, from Bundaberg queensland, died just short of her 92nd birthday- June 13, 2011
Dad is still alive. Younger than springtime were we then.
Thanks Ray. I understand it is the voice of one Bill Lee. The audio here is from the re-mastered sound track. Notice that it does not contain the boat recall bell. In the movie it rings just before he stands up and goes out. I also lightened the picture, played with the color and changed the timing at the end. In short, the usual hocus-pocus, which in time will get me arrested!
South Pacific is one of the greatest broadway shows ever, yet the film, for me, was a disappointment. You not only found the best scene in the whole movie, but you enhanced it. Is John Kerr singing or is it dubbed? In any case, it's great. Thanks, Barry.
I did the role of the girl in this scene last year in my HS production. The guy who played Lt. Cable and I had so much fun!
