The Bridges at Toko-Ri
Set in the New Hebrides during World War II, James A. Michener’s Tales of the South Pacific inspired the sweepingly romantic stage and film versions of South Pacific—his best-selling The Bridges at Toko-Ri resulted in a far grimmer portrayal of war directed by Mark Robson. William Holden plays a rebellious navy aviator flying missions over North Korea and Grace Kelly his faithful if long-suffering wife. Mickey Rooney is along for some comic relief while Fredric March toes the line as a no-nonsense Admiral.
