Rodgers and Hammerstein's award-winning
musical South Pacific, based on stories by
James A. Michener, successfully debuted in 1949, and has since been performed scores of times on-stage and onscreen. Its revered musical score is infused with many singable favorites. This made-for-TV movie rendition, shot in Australia, originally aired on
ABC and features award-winning actors
Glenn Close and
Harry Connick Jr. Set on a naval base in the tropics during World War II, the dual love story reveals the challenges faced by
romance through racial prejudice and war, as demonstrated by the struggles of the tale's two couples.
