That song is a classic from the movie "South Pacific" from 1958! It is one wonderful musical based on James Mitchner's book "Tales of the South Pacific" for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. It is based on stories he wrote about when he was out there in the South Pacific in World War II. Rogers and Hammerstein turned South Pacific into one of the most celebrated musicals of all time and won the Academy Award for Best Sound that year. I personally love the song "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Bali Ha'i". The DVD is something I watch every Thanksgiving eve as it used to be broadcast by NBC TV when I was growing up so now that I am older I have continued that tradition myself.
If you have not seen the movie I would certainly recommend you rent it from your local video store but be sure to watch the original from 1958 and not the recent remake from several years ago which was not in the same league as the original. Rossano Brazzi portrays Emil, the French Planter and has one of the best singing voices I have ever heard.
