    5.0 out of 5 stars A MASTERFUL PRODUCTION OF A GREAT MUSICAL
    Reviewed in Canada on July 9, 2001
    There's a reason that this production of SOUTH PACIFIC is the most watched TV movie musical of all time ~ it's brilliant!
    If you're one of those purists who thinks that this script doesn't need to be tinkered with, think again! A lot of the original ideas are outmoded, but the new screenplay adds dimension to the story and characters only hinted at 50 years ago. The restructuring of the material, opening the show with THERE IS NOTHIN' LIKE A DAME, making Nellie Forbush, brilliantly and vibrantly played by our greatest American actress, Glenn Close, older, and strengthening the mission the DeBecque and Cable take on, are just some of this version's better changes.
    There's nothing in the story that says Nellie needs to be in her 20s, and Glenn Close fulfills the promise of movie musical magic she hinted at during her engagement onstage in SUNSET BLVD. When she stands on the balcony and sings the TWIN SOLILOQUIES, you feel her falling in love with Emile. This Bloody Mary, small and mean as can be, a woman who would sell her daughter if she can make a profit, is a frighteningly real woman, not the caricature she's been played as in the past. (In a college production I saw, they had to do BALI HA'I as a comedy song because Bloody Mary couldn't pull off the drama!)
    Harry Connick,Jr. is absolutely right as Lt. Cable,and his romantic renderings of CAREFULLY TAUGHT, YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME, and (on CD) MY GIRL BACK HOME show that he's the greatest crooner of standards in pop music.
    Take a different viewpoint when you watch this SOUTH PACIFIC. See it, not as a film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's greatest libretto, but as a genuine presentation of World War II. When looking at it as a war picture, it takes on a new dimension, and plays as the very real drama Michener portrayed in his novel, and which was what was hoped for on the stage. Be thankful that those awful filters which ruined the 1959 version are gone, and that Bali Ha'i is seen in Cable's mind, as it was meant to be seen. Enjoy the lively dance on the beach as Nellie and the girls perform A WONDERFUL GUY, and melt as Emile sings SOME ENCHANTED EVENING.
    This SOUTH PACIFIC is a triumph! It's a masterful production of a great musical. Let's hope that upcoming productions (how about Ann Margret as MAME?) will come close to this great show!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, different take on SOUTH PACIFIC
    Reviewed in Canada on February 8, 2004
    Though the stage show was one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's biggest hits, the script has not aged well. It is overlong and lacking in subtleness. The 1958 film, despite the beautiful scenery, is played woodenly. Even Rodgers and Hammerstein expressed disappointment with the finished film.
    So, in 2000, ABC TV and Glen Close produced a new TB film with a new script that weaves in most of the songs and situations of the original play while at the same time fleshing out the characters and making them more realistic.
    Is the film a complete success? Well, no. For starters Glen Close is too old for the role of Nellie. She does act it well, however, and she sings with a characterful chest voice though I do detect some of her high notes might be dubbed. I have just re-watched the movie and don't find her all that objectionable. She sounds like she is having fun cutting loose in "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "A Wonderful guy." Remember too that Mary Marin and Mitzi Gaynor were both too old for the role originally. What Glen Close does play very effectively is Nellie's warring emotions. Aided by the camera work, we see her confusion and unhappiness when confronted with her own prejudices.
    Rade Sherbedgia certainly looks the part of DeBecque but since we are so used to hearing robust Bass singers in the role, his softly sung arias take a good deal of getting used to. Instead of an outpouring of emotion in "this Nearly Was Mine" he offers a more introspective take on the role. It's actually a good idea and might work better with a stronger singer. His acting is quite good but the script does tend to shortchange Emile in favour of Nellie.
    Harry Connick Jr acts the part of Cable quite well and shades the characters different emotions. True he is more of New Orleans than Philadelphia, and like the others he tends to pull the big musical moments inward. It is most effective in the scene after he first makes love to Liat and croons a tender "Younger Than Springtime." This is everything that the sung ought to be... passionate, sexy and filled with wonder. This is a young man caught off guard by true love for the first time and Connick communicates that brilliantly. His "crooning" is not wildly out-of-place and certainly in keeping with the types of singers he would have heard at home. Some scenes later he performs a remarkably understated "Carefully Taught" having played the intense anger in the dialogue scene that precedes the song. The result is more a case of Cable realizing what he is saying than just spitting out an angry indictment. It may not be the way it was originally done, but you can't argue with its effectiveness.
    Lori Tan Chin as Bloody Mary is much closer to the description provided by James Michener in his original novel than Juanita Hall. Hall indeed made the part her own, but that is not to say that hers was definitive.

    In re-writing the screenplay, the scenes and songs were re-arranged from their traditional order. In this new version we see the first meeting of Nellie and Emile at an officers club dance, and the song "A Cockeyed Optimist" is used in this sequence to establish Nellie's outlook. It's part of her charm and clearly attracts DeBecque. The structure also allows the first two scenes of the musical to unfold simultaneously.
    Anyone considering a Broadway revival of SOUTH PACIFIC might do well to examine the TV film for its style and construction. There might indeed be a way to make the story work for modern audiences, clearing away some of the hoary old jokes and developing character instead.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the movie!

    In my opinion, It's better than the movie. ( Well of cause it's my opinion, I just typed it. lol ) I loved this version of South Pacific. The characters came across as more Real and less Hollywood. Glen Close is such a good actress. Her struggle with her own personal prejudice was touching and believable. The music alone is worth with buying it. Highly recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A decent production, but lacking in scope.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014

    This is an okay production. To be honest Glenn Close is far too old to play the part of a young waif enlisted in the nurses corps in the South Pacific. But, she is a highly talented actress, and and puts her heart and soul in the effort. I'm almost sold on it.

    To be blunt, the other thing about this production is that it lacks scope. Simply put there needed to be more extras and larger panoramic shots to show the vistas of the South Pacific. And that's what makes the original production a a better film. Both sets of actors are highly competent. Both fit their roles after a fashion. Both productions give us the tale of confronting prejudice and racism, though it must be said that the Disney production hits it a little more head on than the original film. The original production takes on the same subject, but, literally dances around the subject a bit more than the Disney production.

    Further, the Disney production includes the fight scene between the lieutenant and the enlisted men, which was cut from the original film. The Disney production's intent was to give a more honest production than the original film could have given the social restrictions at the time.

    For a Disney film it was highly controversial. Essentially there's a love making scene in the film, which for either production was a huge gamble. Did it pay off? I'm not sure. The love making scene isn't so much a factor in the success or failure of this film, so much as were the budgetary constraints of not being able to put more men in uniform and on screen. I think that's the film's only flaw, and no others.

    All in all it's a decent production. If you're looking for a new and refreshing take on an old Broadway standard, then check out this film.

    Enjoy.
