Synopsis
One of the best-loved and most popular movie musicals of all time, THE KING AND I won 5 Oscars including Best Actor and Best Costume Design. This legendary story, of a widow who accepts a job as a live-in governess to the children of the King of Siam, is the basis for timeless songs such as Getting To Know You, I Whistle A Happy Tune, Shall We Dance, and many more. The New York Times praised Yul Brynner’s “dazzling performance of a complex personality battling bravely and mightily”, and extolled “the quaintness, the humour and the exquisite delicacy….in this fine film.”
