SOUTH PACIFIC
 The story is set on an island in the South Pacific during WW2. The Japanese are entrenched in a nearby island and are bombing American forces that go near, but life is sweet for the G.I.s at the naval base. One of the nurses on the island is beginning a romance with an older distinguished French planter.  A young lieutenant comes to the island to convince the planter to risk his life to spy for the Americans. An older native woman pushes her daughter at the young lieutenant.

The theme however, is more than a love story. It deals with racism and the tragedy of war too. And these themes are what hold it all together. It's a great human statement surrounded by wonderful familiar melodies.
