Digitally remastered edition of the classic motion picture soundtrack. The Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein musical South Pacific had proved to be a major success when it opened on Broadway in 1949, yet it was to take nearly 10 years before a film version hit the screens. The composers were able to ensure that all of the songs that featured in the stage version made it to the screen, although several of the actors and actresses in the film version had their voices dubbed. The album topped the U.S. charts for 31 weeks and the UK charts for 115 weeks, including one straight run of 70 weeks. Not surprisingly, this domination of the charts has never been equaled, let alone bettered. Hallmark.

トラックリスト舞台でも同じ役を演じたＡ・ホールが素晴らしい喉を披露し、有名な『バリ・ハイ』を朗々と、そして島の子供たちと陽気な『ハッピー・トーク』を嬉々として唄うシーンが全篇の白眉。その他佳曲には恵まれた作品ではあり、何より華麗なロケ撮影が魅力。音楽監督はアルフレッド・ニューマンとケン・ダービー。
