"Happy Talk" from SOUTH PACIFIC

[@marixiegilrane8969]

When Joe Cable met Liat for the first time, John Kerr (the actor playing Joe Cable) perfectly emoted how a man who is lovestruck would look and act. You can read it in his eyes he was totally mesmerized beyond speech!! I just love that scene!!!

[@delftbrown75]

France Nuyen can definitely do that to a man. This french vietnamese beauty is still beautiful today

[@aminsadeghpour1549]

Ever since I saw this movie with my family I could see that lieutenant cable was mixed up in his mind. He obviously loved Liat but he knew that a relationship with her was impossible due to their cultural differences

[@steveholmes1736]

[@impassable]

But shortly after that Mary gets furious with the guy and storms off never to see him alive again

[@12classics39]

@@impassable the only bright side to that is that she was going to marry Liat off to someone else, but the fact that they traveled to the Navy’s base in search of Cable indicates Liat knows how to stand up for herself and what she wants, and will never allow her mother to keep her from anything again. We can only hope that she did find love again; I doubt anyone really took Cable’s place in her heart.

[@geoleo2597]

From 1955. This is such a classic "happy" song from the Broadway musicals. Juanita Hall is not even Polynesian but totally looks like she is. She was perfect for this role

[@sail4170]

So glad we actually implore actual actors that are the race they are playing now.

[@johnpickford4222]

@geoleo2597: 1) It was 1958; 2) Juanita Hall was Africa American; 3) Her vocals were dubbed by Muriel Smith who played both Bloody Mary in SOUTH PACIFIC and Lady Thiang in THE KKNG AND I when those shows played at the Drury Lane, London; 3) It is far more important that talent is the determining factor not ethnicity. After all, Yul Brynner was not Thai/Siamese in THE KING AND I, Mary Martin was not Austrian but from Texas and Julie Andrews born in England for THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

[@secret902]

The role of Bloody Mary and Liat is Tonkinese (northern Vietnamese).

[@geoleo2597]

@@secret902 I'm not sure about that. Tonkinese is not a race of people, but a breed of cat. The movie was in the South Pacific so I believe Mary was referring to Tonga but called themselves "Tonkinese" but that may have been for creative writing to make it sound good for the movie. There's many politically incorrect words in the movie. There's no Bali Hai either. And of course, Bali is Indonesia, again not in the South Pacific.

[@secret902]

​@@geoleo2597The author of the original book, James Michener, specifically described Bloody Mary as a Tonkinese woman, modeling it on a Vietnamese woman he met while in the South Pacific (according to his memoirs). At that time, Tonkin was the northernmost portion of Vietnam under French rule.

If your going to obsess about something listen to this song first. A happy life begins with happy talk. 🌹❤

[@ASMRShalom]

I've forgotten how beautiful this film was, and how many cultural issues it touched upon, while framed by a world war. This scene alone - the romance between an Island girl and Joe Cable a white Marine from the midwest (ostensibly his firm time away from home since OCS), speaks of joy and hope, and a future beyond war. Better still, that the producers of this film didn't use white actors in makeup, but hired a native girl and Juanita Hall to play Bloody Mary; herself part black and part Irish.
