A widowed English woman takes a job as the teacher of the children belonging to the bold King of Siam.

A Yul Brynner classic. His role as the King is one of the most famous in screen (and stage) history. As a movie, The King and I is a bit well...off. Most of the songs aren't that great, and for a film with wonderfully lavish sets, most of the numbers are rather simplistic. But Brynner, Kerr and Moreno are all wonderful and the film is a standout for even just that. Of special note, is a performance within a performance of a stage work the palace women perform for some guests, it's fantastic.
