Happy Talk

[hiphop2154]

What range is this?

[missscazz324]

singing this for my singing exam tomorrow :L

[richiebear1969]

As an eighties kid, I love Captain Sensible's version to.

[atomicmrpelly]

That is the most hilarious accent I have ever heard!!!

[bedlam8]

I'm trying to share this video and it won't paste. Weird...



[ShivaDea]

Liat is just so lovely. You can see why he fell so hard.

[ZMrMovieBuff]

How innocent the 50's were. I watch this very often to bring back that feeling. You can see the difference between people then (watch the movie) and the foul mouth slobs of today.

[thaicedtea666]

Shoot. Me. Now? 

[windstorm1000]

I've never been able to figure out why they used these distracting ugly filter colors on this movie. Does anyone know??

[dmmillerjr]

@windstorm1000 From what I have read on the topic of color filters in certain scenes of the film, I believe the idea came from director Joshua Logan, who had a long theatrical history with both Rodgers and Hammerstein. I have no idea why cooler heads at the studio didn't prevail to quash the idea. Public opinion has always found the colors objectionable, from the previews to the present day. I don't know which color process was used in the filming of "South Pacific", but guess it's permanent.

[windstorm1000]

@dmmillerjr Oh, that's too bad. Now we'll never know what really beautiful colors were used in this and other scenes. Mr. Logan had some problems at the time and that might have influenced his wrong headed decision. Wedren't the beautiful lagoons color enough for him? The above is like a cinemephotographer on LSD>

[LadyJade308]

bloody mary pimpin

[stephenp1968]

even though this is the original version, i like captain sensible's version better.

[raddicks1]

musicals are my nono but i wanted to hear the happy happy talky talk tune and captain sensible has captured it very well but he misses the essence

[raddicks1]

i have never seen this. captain sensible was a prize cunt!

[ilikeylot567]

captain sensible sang it best

[jasonbilwicky]

Orman- "Chief Orman favorite of course... South Pacific."

Jack- "Who doesn't like that one"

Cabby- "Everybody"

Orman- "Happy talk! Keep talking happy talk. Talk about things you like to do..."

[BPCpresents]

The best advice anyone could give anyone!

[pattipie100]

Off to a birthday party for some Happy Talk ........I love this song :) :) :) so does Julia....

[ceriess]

Thats great!

[ghostcar]

I married a supa cute Japanese girl because of France Nuyen. = )

[BickleighJoker]

I had to do this for my school music day; I now officialy can't get it out of my head lol

[luvpuppy4eva]

some itty bitty girls like the age 4-5 are dancing to this and it is sooo cute

[janettispaghettiful]

ooh to have the innocence and morals ( well some of them) of that era...... we are too footloose and fancy free now

[parzifal40]

John Kerr was just perfect in this role. He brought such an innocence to the part which added so much to the overall message of the show.....thanks, John Kerr....one of the greats...

[Shabannie]

Thank you for posting this. South Pacific is one of my favorite musicals.

---------Ellen

[AntiGravDisclosure]

i sure as hell know what i'd be dreamin of with that tasty bird there

[freshair345]

you know what he's dreaming about.

[tunaketchup]

1:01 - 1:05 = super creepy

[nancyfloressantos]

Very fascinating....this is a treasure!

[Zuyuri]

during our production, everyone backstage was doing the signs (we don't have Liat doing them)

[thelouisfanclub]

lol the talking voice is so different from the singn

[DorkkoftheCentury]

I have to learn this for school (:

[mixingauctionsnems]

When I was in Elementary school we had a wacky music teach that did this song with us. I can still see her doing the hand movements, that was over 30 years ago.

Great Music - Lives On

[piratkiler]

its to bad in thiss part he says he can't marry her

[BonkersL]

Oh god, I have to play Liat in our school play and this video is just so addictive!

Even though the movements are so embarrassing, it's AMAZING :)

[pralao]

when was this movie produced ??

[zrtproductions]

1958..I think..

[antiann52]

I've always loved South Pacific. And John Steel was such a hearthrob, those eyes--damn! I wonder what ever became of him?.

[MANILABOY6631]

No one does it like Juanita Hall.

[katyrick09]

Cool, I truly wished a beautiful woman like Mary's daughter looked at me like that with those deep, sincere, loving and totally 'besotted' eyes at 02.42...

"Good idea...you like? hahaha!"

Without a shadow of a doubt!

[cinema901]

france nuien

younger than springtime  you are

[Existantia]

I need to see this movie!

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

those two make a nice couple...!!

[annabelcandy]

I adore the lover's pent up passion and the song's message is inspirational. I'm going to add it to my blog so thanks for putting this here.

[hpjeannie]

He is attracted to her, but it's not his girl back home that holds him back. It's the societal pressure against mixed-race marriages, which is also movingly sung about in "You've Got to be Carefully Taught." Nellie Forbush faces this same dilemma, as the man she loves has had two children by an island woman. All the angst over this seems silly now, but remember how old this movie is....

[antiann52]

There is notthing new under the sun. Everything that happens has happened before.

[CowboyDan]

it's so catchy. AHHH

[serenity0324]

remember our 4th grade Music teacher teaching us this in choir practice..one of my best memories of childhood.

[bobwaters]

You have to admit that the "lewtellent" had a pretty good excuse...

[thesanantoniokid]

This is very very surreal. Is it any less weird in context? I haven't seen the movie yet. Now I think I may be too scared to.

[Penguinsrock8993]

Yea, this scene is still weird if you watch the movie, but it's a great movie, and you should definitly watch it.

[slimukulele]

This voice is another Singer not the Actress.

check out the posted Bali Hai song which has her own voice singing. It is the best version of the song.

[franque68]

yes....its muriel`s...

[shirls2]

A great film with great song like this one love Shirlsxx

[jns48]

This I think was one of the first movies to deal with the theme of interracial relationships. The guy was in love with the asian girl but didn't want to marry her because of her race. Mitzi Gaynor's character couldn't accept that the Frenchman she's in love with has two kids who are of a different race.

[MarchAdrian]

I'm not sure that this is quite right. He is very much attracted by the girl in this scene, but I feel that he is still loyal to his girlfriend in Philadelphia, about whom he sings most movingly in "My Girl Back Home".

[1blindfury1]

this girl has the most beautiful hands..sorry that was random but i just noticed lol. this was my fave song as a kid well apart from the ones off the king and i :p lol xxx

[girlswholovetwilight]

wow this brings back some major memories :D

[classifieds103]

i wanted to LAUGH so hard when she just sang real loud as they were kissing. If i were lt. cable i would've smacked that woman for disturbing an intimate moment!

[desireef1weekly]

For some unknown reason, this song is the "official" company song, at work. I'm going to attempt to learn the hand gestures to surprise my boss at the Company Anniversary party this week. I'm hoping my Hawaiian blood will help me out. LOL

[scgtlp]

musicals are one of the few movie genres my dad and i like to watch together, and they're really important to us in that sense. my dad even told me that he would only approve of a guy for me if he knew what the different R&H musicals are! :D and of course, he has to know the songs.

[tyrizzo1]

that is so epic lol

[disciple21781]

@scgtlp good luck lol

[1946don]

Francois Nuyen is pretty cute in this role but she's incredibly sexy as the "Dolman" in Star Trek

[picassoui]

imagine if the singer ran a teen boot camp i promise those kids would either straighten up or be in an insane asylum before it was over with

[tregibbs]

This has to be one of the WORST musicals ever made by Rogers & Hammershteen... painful to watch, but, yes, hilarious.

[tyrizzo1]

and yet the revival won best revial of a musical at the tony awards, and the musical won the pulitzer prize for drama...

[Bellella411]

Wow you don't know much LOL "Hammershteen"? please tell me you're kidding on both accounts.

[yugyhs]

yeah... guys these days get aroused by girls that use random hand motions during a song. so seductive...

the songs ok but this vid is just random yet funny.

[edymull]

Dont like the lenses being used in the movie as it was filmed in magnificent marine scenery in the South Pacific. Juanita Hall is the definitive Bloody Mary.

[BongoBallsButler]

This shit is well funny. Happy, happy, happy, happy talk..... Class!

[casioboy]

he looks like harry connic junior

[tortellinni2393]

It's funny that you say that because Harry Connic Jr. played the same character in the another version of South Pacific.

[broadwaybby724]

I'm Bloody Mary in South Pacific

in my theater companies' version.

I love this song extremely <3 Ha.

[223goBOOM]

dizzee rascal done a remix of this song, if you like rap then chack it out, its called dizzee rascal-dream

[mezzol]

I always sing this song when i have a lot on my mind, and things are not going right

[Bristol92]

aww i luv this song

[cesmith110557]

The audio quality of this little video is amazing! Thanks "iangoulash" ! Definitely the best of this infectious tune on YouTube! Classic Rodgers and Hammerstein, incurably sentimental, schmaltzy, romantic. Girls out there-- can you imagine yourself in the role of Liat and having to sell this rather silly hand correography? If you can do it convincingly, Hollywood and stardom awaits!

...And you're so dreamy.

[Surak1]

Ditto!!!

[Gigglyme101]

i heard this song on the radio the other day,

i love it!!! :D

[Royalhassel]

The choreography leaves a lot to be desired...

Infectious song, though.

[hoholilimama]

when I first saw it I thought it was kinda weird but its cute

[moviegurl16]

cute song:P

[jbskilover]

oh my gosh i have so many memories of this song

[myheart4one]

heheh its nice i like the young lady she is pretty :) i wonder how old she is right now:)

[BBBYpsi]

considering this was 60 yrs ago she might night even be alive anymore.

[Fenhalls]

Her name is France Nuyen and she is now sixty-nine years old. Her mother was French and her father was Vietnamese. There's a lot more about her at Wikipedia.

[maxeythecat]

And you forgot to ad that she's still a knockout. I worked at a bookstore in Hollywood for nearly 10 years and she used to come in now and again to browse our art book collection...she's very petite, no more than

5'3" with looks that could wipe the floor with any of these celebutards around today. Truly a flawless beauty and also a very nice lady.

[cahoot06]

not as good as captains cover of it

[xthingyx]

We're doin this song for our primary school graduation and I'm one of the dancers for it!!

Lol!!

[joanne027]

we did this in high school! haha. it was fun. keep talkin' happy talk!

[coffield26]

lol was she on crack?

[cjoyjavier]

When I was still in college, I was cast as Liat and rehearsed this scene for hours with my nieces.

Now...it's just part of my personal history.

[greggoboy]

talk about the giiirl, talk about the booooy...COUNTIN' all the rrrrrrrrrripples on the seaaaaaaaa...i love it...i makes me feel warm inside....such a merry jovial song

[littleminxxx]

RRRRIPPPPLES IN THE SEA!!!!! LOL

[rewturn]

How beautiful, innocent and timeless, Thanks for posting it!!!

[mykicita]

love this movie =) especially these 2 =) John Kerr and France Nuyen!
