I love the lyrics of Hal David and the music of Burt Bacharach. I wish there is a Shangrila where the sound of gun doesn’t pound in your ears anymore

Featuring the gorgeous and talented James Shigetaand choreography by Hermes Pan (Fred Astaire's creative partner).

This was a great musical that has been overlooked over the years.

Thanks so much for posting this! I can't believe how the critics bashed this movie! It was a good musical and one of the last of its kind.

It is such a pleasure to see Mr. James Shigeta singing. He has always been a favorite of mine.

Art and music may just save the world..

IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE.
They don't show it on TV, enough.
What a great concept, I only can wish.

One of my favorites. Besides, I never listen to critics.

Completely charming! I was familiar with the version that turned out to be The 5th Dimension's last charting single. I much prefer this version. Great to see and hear James Shigeta as the priest. And I believe I hear Thurl Ravenscroft in the bass section of the soundtrack choir. I'll be playing this Bacharach/David composition (one of the very last of their monumental partnership) obsessively for a while!

Unfortunately, when you forget how to dream…it might be difficult to let this outstanding story enter your heart and just be amazed. Simply, love and family is the only thing worth having. Aloha

The last collaboration of Bacharach and David, and the reason for their acrimonious split. The backstory of the troubled production is much more interesting than the film itself. Also the last big production launched by Ross Hunter (AIRPORT).

The part from 3:22 to 3:56 is actually a reprise of the song. It follows the "Fertility Dance" number which had been cut from the film after test screenings. It has long been restored to the film bringing the musical number back to it's original 5 to 7 minute glory

The movie was one of the last of its kind for a reason. Its budget ballooned to the point where it cost much more than it earned. The studios came to realize that the big-budget, All-Star musical was no longer sustainable. Beautiful movies like My Fair Lady were expensive too, but they were beloved because they were actually made to entertain an audience, not to lecture it on “morality.”

it's hard to believe that the same person that wrote the music for the movie 'The Blob' also wrote this. man he had range
