South Pacific is a 1958 American romantic musical film directed by Joshua Logan, based on the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical, which in turn was based on James A. Michener's 1947 short-story collection Tales of the South Pacific. It stars Rossano Brazzi, Mitzi Gaynor, John Kerr, Ray Walston, and France Nuyen in the leading roles, with Juanita Hall as Bloody Mary, the part that she had played in the original stage production. It is set in 1943, during World War II, on an island in the South Pacific.
Production
Following the successes of the film versions of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! (1955) and Carousel (1956), the producers decided on a similar adaptation of South Pacific as their next project. The film was produced by "South Pacific Enterprises", a company created specifically for the production, owned by Rodgers, Hammerstein, Logan, Magna Theatre Corporation (owners of the Todd-AO widescreen process the film would be photographed in), and Lel…
The producers' original plan was to have Ezio Pinza and Mary Martin, the two leads of the original Broadway cast, reprise their roles for the film, but Pinza died suddenly in May 1957. Had he lived to perform in the film, the producers would have cast Martin. Logan said he was unable to find an actor who would match Martin; the only big star of the right age seemed to be Vittorio de Sica, whom Logan felt "too saturnine".
Doris Day was offered the part of Nellie, but passed on it; Elizabeth Taylor tested for the same role, but was rejected by Rodgers after she suffered stage fright in her audition. Logan later heard her sing but was unable to persuade Rodgers to change his mind. Ultimately, Mitzi Gaynor, who had prior work in musical films, and had tested twice for Nellie, was cast in the role.
Juanita Hall sang in the stage production and took part in the recording of the stage production cast album, but her singing was dubbed for the film by Muriel Smith, who played Bloody Mary in the London stage production. Metropolitan Opera star Giorgio Tozzi provided the singing voice for Emile in the film. John Kerr starred as Cable; his singing voice was dubbed by Bill Lee.
Hanalei Bay, on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, served as the filming location, with Emil Kosa Jr.'s matte paintings providing distant views of the fantastic island Bali Ha'i. A second unit filmed aerial views of Fijian islands while some sources claim footage of Tioman Island, off Malaysia's southeast coast, were also featured, though this seems unlikely given the logistics involved.
