South Pacific (1958)

Dir. Joshua Logan
In this Oscar-winning Rodgers and Hammerstein musical set in a tropical paradise, two couples from cultures a world apart grapple with love at a time of war. Sparks fly when Nellie (Mitzi Gaynor), a naive Navy nurse stationed in the South Seas, meets the worldly Emile, a French plantation owner (Rossano Brazzi). Meanwhile, in a then-daring depiction of interracial relationships, a young American officer falls for a beautiful island native.
