This is a beautifully written story of love and of life in the South Pacific. Not only does it feature breathtaking scenery, excellent acting, and a well written script, but it offers a glimpse into what life, customs, and experience was like in the Polynesian islands during the 1930's. A true historian's dream. Everything from the culture to the dialect to the way America saw the world back then has been beatifically illustrated in this film. A wonderful afternoon treat to watch!! It isn't too long and the pace of the film is pretty consistent with action and well written monologues too. The music is perfect and shows the audience how typical enjoyable music sounded within that time period. I'd recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good afternoon romance, who value the historic attributes of such a film, and who might be curious of South Pacific culture. Great film!!
