About this movie

This visual and musical masterpiece features Yul Brynner's Academy Award®-winning performance, an unforgettable Rodgers and Hammerstein® score, and brilliant choreography by Jerome Robbins. It tells the true story of an Englishwoman, Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), who comes to Siam as schoolteacher to the royal court in the 1860's. Though she soon finds herself at odds with the stubborn monarch (Brynner), over time, Anna and the King stop trying to change each other and begin to understand one another.

It would be quite helpful if the English or French subtitles included the songs, it's a musical!!!

An English teacher goes to Siam to teach the King's children English and a delightful clash of cultures ensues.

I loved this movie and read the book. What a great movie this is. I have also brought the DVD and have watched it again. I will rewatch it again soon.
