Review from Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide. "Excellent film adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical, based on book that was previously filmed as ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM. Kerr plays widowed English schoolteacher who travels to Siam to teach the King's many children, and finds dealing with His Highness her greatest challenge. Brynner gives the performance of a lifetime, and won an Oscar recreating his Broadway role. Kerr is charming; her singing voice was dubbed by Marni Nixon. Songs include ``Hello, Young Lovers,'' ``Getting to Know You,'' ``Shall We Dance. '' Also won Oscars for art direction-set decoration, Irene Sharaff's costumes, Alfred Newman and Ken Darby's scoring. Screenplay by Ernest Lehman." |
