Music, enchantment, drama, and romance. That is so like a movie.

Part 2 Kudos to Dir Joshua Logan's simply fabulous and scrupulous scenes execution. At his helm, he's able to applicatively, definitively, and formatively bring the best and the finest out of all the musical and non-musical parts. For his directorial approach is absolutely and resolutely spot on in a grand scheme of symmetric and theatric designing; of high-toned fanfare-emblazoned aura texturing; of straight out prismatic, charismatic, and cinematic ideal power-envisioning; of discerning and yearning for accentuating the best possible piece of work with feasible commercial appeal, sensible ethical values, and cherishable feel-good viewing moments, having the rock-solid exemplary work environment with the built-in elements of highbrowism, energism, synergism, and professionalism among all his stars and all his behind-the-scene crews through his efficiently and proficiently hands-on directorship and with glimmery and gossamery touch of his exceptional aptitude, his intestinal fortitude, and his bright-eyed, bushy-tailed attitude in his sleeves, and lastly, his animatedly rolled out, enchantedly spruced up, and unabatedly keyed up realisation of Mr Paul Osborn's brilliantly and gallantly screen-written material that was distinctively adapted from the 1949 Mr Oscar Hammerstein II / Mr Joshua Logan's deliberately and literately designed libretto so as to drivingly grind out and to thrivingly topscore in setting up a feasibly and sensibly sounded, highly-lauded smash hit Broadway musical masterpiece being old-fashionedly drawn up with the tragicomic / romantic touch of the four central characters who are conflictingly affected with the racial prejudice in the midst of rather modulatedly depicted WWII setting as less alarmingly-brutal but more of charmingly amorous and heartwarmingly euphonious in a most modestly brightening and enterteining manner. The 1950 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical was inspiredly based on Mr James Michener's 1948 Pulitzer-winning fictional, historical short stories, "Tales of South Pacific", in concerted series. This 1958 motion picture rendition looks and sounds more celebratedly and elaboratedly substantiated with an outright picture-perfect glow, an all-round smooth-sailing flow, and an upright expressively-and-impressively rolled out showpieces with the theatrical pageantry, the graphical artistry, the lyrical poetry, the authentical symmetry ( in content and design ), the fantastical chemistry ( as were bittersweetly and rather concretely characterised in the twosome leading protagonists' emotions-charged romance and as were fitly-and-neatly centralised in the fun-charged seabees' subtly-sizzling, dazzling all-male Greek Chorus-inspired musical numbers with the fulsome and huesome spirits of funky humors, hunky muscles, and spunky drives ); and the historical tapestry as this much-cherished treasure has indeed turned out to be a well-interlaced rainbow-coloured sparkle that has clearly and dearly demonstrated the beauty, the genuinity, the nitty-gritty, the sublimity, and the gravity of the Golden Age of Hollywood so as for all the generations here and onward to devour exuberantly, to favour undefiantly, and to savour luxuriantly.
