...based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize "Tales Of The South Pacific," and the relationship of Oscar Hammerstein's piece to Michener's is closer than I would have supposed possible. There are, of course, the wonderful "characters," such as the lusty, nonchalant Luther Billis and the colorful, to say the least, Bloody Mary. There is also the love story of Lt.

He never explained how two Boston newspapers obtained his false and sensational "report" last fall which made the Reformatory look like a riotous Bedlam. His means of gathering "evidence" were repugnant, to put it mildly...
