MCT:August 28, 2008Loved the movie well the Jodie foster version anyway. no need to see the old oen when i already know the plot.

MCT:July 11, 2008Old time Classic, a movie that your mom and you can enjoy together. This great musical that will always stay one of the best classics is definately worth watching.

on a technical level, this is one of the most exquisite films i've ever seen. colors, costumes, sets, choreography, underscoring, editing, et cetera, et cetera (ha ha). in terms of acting, Brynner stole the show with Kerr coming in a distantly impressive second. while this show's music is some of R&H's better work, it really didn't grab me into the already shaky storyline. a classic musical to be sure, but this film just fell slightly below the mark from my expectations.

MCT:June 2, 2008A classic a king with many wives that are a bit comical hires a widow to teach his childres. Siam England are very different. Cultures clash. The king has a temper and is very demanding. Dancing and songs.

MCT:May 11, 2008I feel a little bad talking ill of such a "classic" musical, 'cause I DO like musicals, but I fail to see the hub-bub over this one. Sure the story is interesting, even a little funny at times, but the songs really aren't that good (even a little boring at times), and I can't see how a musical can be any good if the songs aren't.

Wonderful songs and a stand-out performance by Yul Brynner as the King of Siam help make this one of the best loved (and one of my favourite) musicals of all time.

Great great movie. Sadly it isn't on often. I love the unusual chemistry Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner had.

Deborah Ker was wonderful in this even though it is a well known fact Marnie Nixon sang. Worth a look.

aww, this one was so good!! kerr did an excellent job, and i loved yul brenner!! he was a very convincing monarch. i cried the first time, saying it didn't end right, but later i admitted that it ended the only way it could.

I love Rodger and Hammerstein!!! -

Yul Brynner's expressions as a Siamese king is cheekily funny but he does it subtly enough that it doesn't jeopardies his kingly ways.

i love the songs ... especially " i have dreamed" did somebody sang that on a cool night by the bay ?
-
MCT:January 19, 2008Love the music, love the dresses. I remember watching this when I was about 8 years old and sobbing at the end. I still cry every time!

One of my all-time favorite musicals. Two main reasons, fantastic songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and a delightful performance by Yul Brynner. Highly Recommended.

I enjoyed this movie so very much that I watched it twice in 2 nights... Brynner is absolutely fanatastic with his frequent lines of "etc etc etc..." Kerr is great as Anna, especially in her determined request for her house... My 2 favorite scenes are Moreno's Siam play version of the American book & the dancing of Kerr & Brynner to "Shall we Dance." Great feel good movie & Brynner deserved that "Best Actor" Oscar award in 1957...

Another classic. Yul Brenner is fabulous as the king and Deborah Karr is great as the schoolteacher. The young man playing her son is not so good, but, fortunately, his part is small. The music is supurb.
-
MCT:November 24, 2007
Beautifully shot with excellent music and costumes. Yul Brynner is most excellent as the King with is "et cetera"'s.

another excellent film a total classic, not as good as the orginal black and white version however very good the costumes, and the acting is so well. the songs are touching you really get a sense of the feelings between ana and the king . watch it if you love musicals.

Yul Brynner steals the show in his unforgettable, Oscar-winning performance as the King of Siam. This is also my favorite Deborah Kerr movie, who gives a great performance as Anna Leonowens, the schoolteacher. Although I loved all the Western-type songs and the iconic "Shall We Dance?" waltz, my favorite musical scene is Tuptim's play of the Asian version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin". If you like musicals, Yul Brynner, or Deborah Kerr, don't miss "The King and I."
