Editorial Reviews

Product Description

For its Blu-ray release, South Pacific underwent a complete photochemical restoration of its original 65mm negative, and underwent an 8k high definition scan of the brand new interpositive.  For the first time in high definition, you can enjoy Leon Shamroy's widescreen photography of the Hawaiian locations and be dazzled by director Joshua Logan’s famous filtered sequences.  The original soundtrack will, for the first time ever, be presented in uncompressed, Lossless DTS audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, April 2, 2009
By JES "riksco" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
The theatrical cut on disk one looks AMAZING. I won't go off on the use of color filters or the other deficiencies of the film, the movie as a whole works and the performances are spot-on. Gaynor and Brazzi are excellent. The Road Show restoration on disk 2 is definitely worth checking out for a few minutes of extra footage here and there but overall the image is softer and less detailed. But the theatrical version on disk one is jaw dropping and well worth the price of the disk. Highly Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forthcoming Blu-Ray has great extras, January 22, 2009
I have seen the 94-minute "making of" documentary that has been created for the Blu-Ray release. It is wonderfully crafted, with interviews from actual WWII Seabees and nurses, along with amazing Technicolor footage of the war. This documentary is hosted most charmingly by Mitzi Gaynor, who looks terrific and is completely self-effacing and enjoyable. It also includes interviews (but no peformance footage) of the stars of the new Lincoln Center revival. The observations by relatives of Rodgers, Hammerstein, and Logan are candid and insightful. This promises to be an excellent release.

5.0 out of 5 stars not as happy as I should be, April 6, 2009
By Ralph Paulsen (Los Angeles, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Movie itself if fantastic, however the powers that be decided to only record the general release in Hi-DEF, with DTS Master audio, the Road Show version is in Standard Definition, and only Dolby Digital for the audio, how much more would it have taken to take the portions of the film that are duplicated in both versions and have it all in HD? and leave the additional footage in SD (it wouldn't make that much difference with the sub standard material)and DTS Master audio for both should have been little trouble, love the Movie, not happy with the way it has been packaged
