"Rodgers & Hammerstein's Academy Award-winning South Pacific is a towering musical masterpiece and the tender love story of a naive young Navy nurse (Gaynor) and an older French plantation owner (Brazzi) on a U.S.-occupied South Sea Island. The breathtaking score is highlighted by some of the most romantic songs ever written: Some Enchanted Evening, There Is Nothin' Like a Dame, Younger Than Springtime and more. South Pacific is presented in its original theatrical format. The film's original screen composition can now be viewed in all its widescreen splendor with the added attraction of being digitally mastered by THX for superior sound and picture quality."--Container.
