The Dryden will screen South Pacific (Joshua Logan, U.S. 1958, 140 min., 35mm) as part of the Eastman Entertains series.

Based on a book by James A. Michener, South Pacific is a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic in gorgeous, widescreen color. The film provides a veritable feast for the eyes and ears as Rossano Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor find love, anguish, and eventual happiness amid the setting of a war-torn Pacific island. The stellar soundtrack includes such classics as "Bali Ha'i," "Some Enchanted Evening," and "Happy Talk."
