South Pacific 1958 1080p. Lovely intermediate song not often played compared to the "big hits". Emile de Becque and Lt. Joseph Cable contemplating life's difficulties and the importance of acting when you still can.
SouthPacific - I'm in love with a wonderful guy!

Nellie Forbush's (Mitzi Gaynor) performance is here full of vitality now when she realises she has fallen in love, after all, quite opposite to the earlier declaration in the previous statement - 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair'. There are two different versions of this scene, this and one with no filters and the other with odd colour filter.

Mizzi Gaynor performing - from the movie "South Pacific" (1958)
This film made a huge impression on me when I was very young about 8 years old and the songs and the film still send shivers up my spine. Loved it then and now.❤️
Only Ensign Cable was duvbed
My favorits of the South Pacific songs. /thank you for posting it.
I suppose that your comment not was aimed for me - right ? However the fact is that many of the single performances actually were dubbed. I don´t really know why, because the actual actors were not that bad in singing. The producer must have had a idea of only the best he could get were good enough. A bit strange to my meaning, as the movie is far from the actual written story of "South Pacific" of Pulitzer Price winner James A Michener. That didn´t seem to bother him much, together with extended use of color filters, which is nowhere to be found in the book except for a short passage in one chapter of the book. However - I love the movie, much more than the book, and always carry with me parts of the tunes at the back of my neck, letting them in to my inner ear very often.
How dare you, you disgust me
I sing this in voice lessons and I think it's so pretty.

I saw this movie when I was 12 in the theatre. It made an impression and I’d sing all the songs. I’m 66 now . Thanks for posting the clips!
When the skies are brighter canary yellow I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen, So they called me a cockeyed optimist Immature and incurably green. I have heard people rant and rave and bellow That we're done and we might as well be dead, But I'm only a cockeyed optimist And I can't get it into my head. I hear the human race Is fallin' on it's face And hasn't very far to go, But ev'ry whippoorwill Is sellin' me a bill, And tellin' me it just ain't so. I could say life is just a bowl of Jello And appear more intelligent and smart, But I'm stuck like a dope With a thing called hope, And I can't get it out of my heart! Not this heart
None of these actors are actually singing. They are lip syncing to other singers. Metropolitan Opera bass Giorgio Tozzi, dubbed the singing for actor Rossano Brazzi. And Bill Lee is really singing for actor John Kerr. 😊
The only thing cockeyed about this are the color filters. When the sky is a bright canary yellow, why does Mitzi Gaynor's face need to be?
I like the way she goes against the negative of what is going on. We don’t have to deny the truth of reality, but we can choose a better, and more positive way to think and live….to help not only ourselves, but to lift others up too!!
mitsi Gaynor appears to have such an immposibly small waiste.
Remember that women wore much more elaborate shape wear in those days, but it is true that the average waist size has increased since 1958.
So happy we have positive people!! My mom was one of them, and I learned a really lot from her!!
“I hear the human race is falling on its face and hasn’t very far to go. But every whippoorwill is selling me a bill and telling me it just ain’t so!” This song remains just as relevant today as it was when it was written in 1949.
wonder if this is where the seinfeld writers picked up the phrase "cockeyed optimist"
Mitzi the magnificent!
This is what led to Billy Mumphries downfall.
South Pacific is still alive with music in my heart!
Can only agree with you. Still gives me goose bumps playing it on my stereo or listening here on YT
I don't think that I would be able to watch this movie without a box of Kleenex® close by…
Jello or Gel lo?
Incurably Rep Marj Greene. Knucklehead Nellie? I have heard the song before. No court time needed. No courtship. Legs are simple gifts but try not to lose them. Shank's Ponied up. The pony lost its tail? Witch one? Legs Dimond (leg ends Krays and Scruggs) (LEG) hei, Taina & Mitzi aka John Steed - the tail has found a horse. RIP KING'S ROW - you need legs to ahem take 39 Steps to reach "where is the rest of me?" Drake McHugh Yank Hasty Heart gained. RIP most of Les Girls cast. Leslie Phillips most recently. Oh. OH. Käy Kendall plays a trumpet in Genevieve before passing out. Kenneth more in the vicinity than ahem NOT. His character is most impressed and never the Twain shall mete? ****SPOILER****

She's a simple, country girl-some might say, a cockeyed optimist-who got caught up in the dirty game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.
"I can't work myself up to getting that low!" I love that line and how Mitzi Gaynor delivers it. Timeless song from my favorite movie.
Can't agree more ;)
Something you just get seeing the movie in the English Original, Mitzi Gaynor´s Southern Accent, fits perfectly to this role. Compare on UA-cam the alternative to other female leads
Mitzi Gaynor's rendition of this classic song is outstanding.
I totally agree

❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the most Rodgers and Hammerstein-y song ever written lol. I love it.
Unbelievable lyric too. It's just like she's continuing to talk to him and explaining how she feels.
Nobody matches Mitzi in this role. She gave a superb performance.
And she's the right age for the part.
I love it
Love this movie.
“Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.”
That Picture WAS takenn BEfore ...
BEfore what ??
I always thought this sweet little song is one of the best from South Pacific. I love that high note when she sings, "I can't get it out of my heart."
I agree :-)
Who orchestrated this number? Some of the string work on this arrangement is extremely similar to the 1949 Sandra Deel - Al Goodman RCA Recording of the Song!
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was longtime R&H collaborator Robert Russell Bennett.
I went to see the film in a theatre a few years ago. It was part of the TCM Fathom events line-up. I was so excited at the prospect of finally being able to see the filters on a big screen. I have to say, that they are not as obtrusive as they are on a television screen; and they fill the house with color.
What you say about the filters in an actual movie theatre is a really interesting. How I would love the opportunity to see Logan's SOUTH PACIFIC in a first run movie theatre (if anything such a a 'first run movie house' still exists).
@@showtunestarpower I finally had the opportunity to see South Pacific in a theater! TCM/Fathom Events put it in select theaters about four years ago. It had always been a dream of mine to see those damned color filters on a big screen. They looked beautiful!
Yes, I agree. I have the same experience. When seen at the theatre the filters did not catch my attention to the same externt as they do watching TV or PC versions. I know that multiple copies exists, with different filter settings, even without filters at all. If screen and tv versions are different I dont know, or if seeing it "live" changes my colour perception, I can not tell.
"When IS the sky a bright canary yellow? As far as I know, only in the eye of a hurricane [...] if the sky were a bright canary yellow, I'd run for the nearest storm cellar." - Stephen Sondheim
Is that what killed Sondheim?
Great song. I discovered it from an old pop version from the early 1960s.
0:33 what is he saying after “could easily be”?
gunfire
@@aminsadeghpour1549 thank you 🙏
he is referring to the fact that there is a war going on.
@@aminsadeghpour1549 yes, I understood that, I just couldn’t make out that particular word. My best guess was god fire which makes no sense lol. Thanks again
Your question. Answer - ...gunfire. Meaning the small white clouds were explosions from anti airplane artillery.
“Be incurably green. Today.”- nyc, 10/20/2020
My grandma likes this song! Thanks
20th Century Fox overdid the color changes that were intended to put subtle emphasis on the songs.
Really needed now 💚
This is a great time for some cockeyed optimism --- in light of the worldwide COVID-19 threat --- some apropos lyrics! 🌞🌴
I agree with you 100%. with everything that is going on in the world now: the pandemic, the wildfires that are going on, and the African American people who getting killed I believe that things will get better. I know that there some people who are really depressed who think this is the end of the world but I know things will get better eventually.
@@aminsadeghpour1549 This made me feel better thank you FR
Johnny Mathis nailed this song
Mitzi sings and acts marvellously. And I seem to be one of the few that actually likes the use of colour filters to enhance the story line. Altogether, a fabulous film that I could watch time and time again !
Hi Robert, Yes I agree with everything you say. I think that many misunderstand the use of the color filters throughout the film. For your info. there was made a copy entirely without color alterations. Very hard to find though. I saw it here on YT many years ago. Maybe some of these actual scenes still can be found here. However I have not been looking for them.
Did Mitzi Gaynor do her own singing in this movie?
Hi Amy, Yes , she performed herself in all the songs and was not dubbed ever. All other principal cast members were dubbed except she and Walston(Luther Billis). You can read more about it here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pacific_(1958_film)
