since before internet and IMDb existed so I an unfazed by the snipping trivial criticisms here.
it is basically an very good, not outstanding, effort to show some of the romanticism associated with that terrible event, the war in the pacific.
there are 100s of thousands of islands in that great ocean, can we not believe a bali hai exists undiscovered somewhere, if only in our imaginations? the DVD which I just bought today has the Michner 60 minutes interview. he refused to let the film crew on the island out over the water in the distance. he wanted it to stay an idyll.
cant we all do that? France Nuyen is the most beautiful actress of her generation and a very talented and strongly principled and intelligent lady.
the racism angle has been flogged enough here, suffice to say it is handled fairly accurate in depicting the mood of the times.
and thank you to those who explained what 'road show' version meant.
