Title: Joshua Logan has no business behind the movie camera
Review: South Pacific on film should have been the finest of all R&H musicals but was ruined by Joshua Logan. The direction is dreadful. Everyone is miscast except Juanita Hall and she was dubbed, yet she did the show on broadway. Where was the choreography? It didn't exist. The "Nothin Like a Dame" number is embarrassing to watch. Enough has been said about the disgusting use of color filters, but that is the least of this travesty's problems. A great work of the American Muscial Theatre bastardized by the useless Josh Logan. He also ruined Camelot and Paint Your Wagon on the screen.
