@xelanesqueHQ I do not recall her name but at the insistence of Richard Rogers, the woman who played Bloody Mary in the London stage production is the voice.
Mrs.Juanita Hall was the first Black to win a Tony Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Bloody Mary in South Pacific. She was a Blues singer and her voice in this movie was just beautiful as all of her songs were!
If you listen to Juanita's real voice singing this, it's really crazy how different this version sounds - her voice is NOTHING as young-sounding as this, it's a MAJOR MAJOR difference.... damn idiots had to dub in someone else's voice.
@rlee1976 I agree with you but it is not all bad. Richard Rogers was the one that demanded the voice from the London Stage cast and that is what you hear.
Now I know why Mr. Rodgers and Mr. Hammerstein are two of my most favorite people in the whole world! South Pacific is my second favorite of their collaborations. The Sound Of Music is my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!
How I wish they made movies like this, instead of movies where people are killing themselves all the time. I though the movie was great, and I loved this song Happy Talk and she looked so cute talking with her fingers GREAT
Siempre que veo esta película lamento profundamente el uso de filtros monocromáticos en las escenas. La afean y avejentan muchísimo. ¡¡¡¡¡¡Con los espectaculares escenarios naturales que posee!!!!!!
@AnnaMayWongSociety No, it's how he is leering at her...I love the movie, but this scene is a little mail-order-bride/ sex tour. Ugh, so sick of Asian women in cinema being portrayed as compliant, etc.
@dagcentral101 20 plus years ago I would have been closer to agreeing with the last part of your comment however today "Asian women in cinema being portrayed as" is all I can agree with for what they are portrayed as today is much wider yet not deeper then your narrow mind focus. Speaking of minds, I would show your doc your comment for it says so much about you and so little about this romantic scene involving a near equally shared feeling of the moment including most viewers.
She would pay him $2000 a month to make love to her. geez some guys get all the luck...anyway how the hell did sensible end up watching this film in the height of punk?
France Nuyen has been accredited as the second Asian major star in Hollywood motion pictures after Anna May Wong. But actually, Ms. France Nuyen is Eurasian born to a French mother and a Vietnamese father. But for some, Eurasians are just Asians, and Mulatos are just Blacks. I clearly see a difference, do you? A child's ethnic make-up comes from both parents. It's just plain stupid to ommit either parent's genes, and rather disrespectful to the omitted parent, too! So, for the record.......
Ms. France Nuyen should be accredited as the first major Eurasian actress in Hollywood Motion Pictures. Immediately after her comes Ms. Nancy Kwan, (1/2 Chinese, 1/2 British Eurasian actress who starred in Suzie Wong). However, the first Eurasian actor was before these ladies, Mr. Yul Brynner. Hey, these Eurasian film stars were a pretty good-looking bunch, wouldn't you say?
Oh he's so handsome... :3

This is my favorite song and scene from this movie. I love the words, too!
Both actors John Kerr and France Nuyen are still alive. Kerr is an attorney and Nuyen is a psychologist. Both still make occasional TV appearances!
Nuyen's (Liat) performance was the most intriguing of this scene to me, despite that she never said a word. Great performance. Great movie!
