The colors are outstanding, and the splendor and sharpness of the image enhances the pace and grandeur of the 1956 musical considerably. With the full splendor of the big budget Hollywood production on view, even the weaker scenes, such as…

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's 1951 Broadway musical hit. This was based on Margaret Landon's book Anna and the King of Siam. One of the greatest movies. The same as "Anna and the King", which is a drama based on the diary of Anna…

One of my favorite movies. Yul Brynner is amazing as the King. Deborah Kerr was great as Anna. I had the privilege of seeing the stage version in 1978 at the Arie Crown theater in Chicago with Yul Brynner as the King. He was amazing…

The King and I will always be one of my favorite musicals. Yul Brynner is perfect as the King. He is every bit as strong as he needs and ever so smart to know when to back down. The songs Like I Could Have Danced All Night, and my…

A timeless 1st-rate musical in this genre. Still a joy to watch, especially - and this if for LTHL - if you stay awake!

Easy to follow for all ages. Rodgers and Hammerstein has really outdone themselves with this musical masterpiece!

This will always be one of my favorite movies, reminds me of watching it at home with my mum when I was younger. The 'shall we dance?' scene is magical.

I fell asleep while watching this movie. I only watched it since I loved the animation film. In my opinion, it was very dull and old fashioned. Plus the singing was so awkward to watch. I guess the only positive thing was you got to feel…
